pet mongoose playing w/ Steve Irwin cameo

[hcolover951]

I want a mongoose!!!!! They are amazing and have pretty fluff!

[thishascoolvideos]

0:43 thats what she said ;)

[DeathofaShinigami]

That's a rather entertaining looking pet. We have a ferret, but she's almost too docile sometimes, this guy looks rather active.

[Prometheus666333]

HOLY SHIT I WANT A PET MONGOOSE!

[nathantech77]

It acts like a kitten

[TidalSnow1]

Lol I love this I want one where can I get one :)

[giovanyid]

Here in puerto rico thier all the places, where you bought it or find it?

[Bustanutt808]

I raised one a while ago, it too was abandoned in a drainage ditch in Hawaii Kai. For those wondering, yes they are illegal in the US but Hawaii had them introduced back in the 1800's so they occur naturally here. Yes they are a handful to raise. Good luck finding a pup, unless you're an expert and are able to locate a den and try and seperate a mother from her baby, your chances are slim. You'd be better off going to Vegas and hitting the lottery then coming across a stray pup.

[MsNiceDick]

it didnt tired...preety good energy,,,,,,my cat playing only about 30 seconds.....  (-,-)

[MH2topspot]

@MsNiceDick yeah he had a ton of energy, so much energy he would dig holes in the carpet and drywall. my other mongoose vid shows the kinda trouble he would get into on a daily basis

[MsNiceDick]

@MH2topspot it bite didnt hurt?what about when he grown up...did the bite dangerous?

[MH2topspot]

@MsNiceDick oh yeah it hurt when he bit and could be dangerous if he intended to be.

[Amandork456]

i live on oahu too. i want one. but i dont see too many baby ones lol. ive never seen one i could catch. what do they eat?

[MH2topspot]

@Amandork456 I doubt youll ever get to see a baby young enough to tame. I got mine before its eyes were even open and was only about 4 inches long. they eat pretty much anything, from papaya and carrots to meat and fruit loops. cat food is also a good replacement for fresh foods(sort of).

[Amandork456]

@MH2topspot aw ok. well ur mongoose is adorable. n it must've been sooo cute when u first got it, it still is in this vid :) but thanks for the reply n the info

I SAID GOOD DAY

[MH2topspot]

@BassHeadsProduction that is not rough play at all. I could see if we threw him into a wall or something but that was just minor to say the least.

[vanmaarwijk]

hey i really wanna get a pet mongoose . just wanna know if they r too aggressive and if they can be social animals like cats or dogs ?

[MH2topspot]

@vanmaarwijk as pups they are very social, but as they mature they become very territorial.

[PinkPunkyKat]

Extactaly what species is he/she?

[1995bartels]

do multiple mongoose make mongeese?

[Arrowatch]

@1995bartels Yeah, or mongooses. Totally interchangeble. In fact, it's not bad etiquette to use the two terms in the same sentence. Just confuses people. Which is also not bad etiquette.

*disclaimer: Just because it isn't bad, doesn't make it good.

[1995bartels]

@Arrowatch thanks for the info!

[Heolani]

@1995bartels

Mongooses

[XSemperFi14X]

[jomardomingo77]

hahaah its so cute!!!

[tvasquez1999]

dont there eyes turn red wen they get mad

?

[mmaclennan1]

@ 4:26 LMAO wtf? cute pet though :)

[stolen101dc]

People who keep saying stuff like, you shouldn't remove them from the wild, well shut up! We don't care about your opinion and plus they life a happier, longer, safer life with people, and plus all animals are wild at once, even dogs and cats and fish, and also if its from a breeder its not from the wild it was born in captivity! Plus what do you think a zoo is? So all saying stuff like that just don't say it!

[stolen101dc]

I really hate when people are like, You shouldn't remove them from the wild, well all animals are wild at once even dogs, plus you should mind you own buisness, you can have your opinion and none of us want to hear it! plus there happier with people, safer, and life a longer and fuller life!

[thatguy00011]

so cute

[samuelshark6145]

where da hell did you get a pet mongoose.

[girlsixdiva]

I thought these were illegal in the U.S.?

[apossumsbestfriend]

I love these little guys. The Crocodile Hunter Crock Files theme went well with that one part of the video. It's a wildlife show right in your living room. Tiger vs. mongoose. LOL I'm curious now as to what was with the 9 random pictures at the very end of the video. Pretty odd ending. Didn't expect that.

[chica476]

those things are awesome.

[killahBeez303]

ricky ticky :)

[golddaisydog99]

where do you get pet mongooses?

[gagelyssa4ever]

i hate illegalities and being 13 as soon as im 18 im buying a mongoose and moving to England!

[ARMwaffen]

what specie are they?

[OblivionNerd18]

@ARMwaffen mongoose....

[AlbertoMuse]

[punkrockerbabe911]

R.I.P Steve Irwin. :(

[Balto2WolfQuest]

[IuseAudi]

[tanatribe]

personally cats got everything i need, although u might be able to take these cute thing out with u?

[NukeTheMongoose]

i want a mongoose so fucking bad XD

[Russisretard]

Steve Irwin talking ;D

[reiri06ishida]

lol it almost looks like the little m8's the one talking

[ian32583]

can they be trained?

[zodiolestes]

yep! We would all luv a meerkat, but they are amongst many species of mongoose banned in da U.S.A. The only species we have now is the cusimanse on the mainland, and for u lucky Hawaiians, the small Indian mongoose, and thats only by default!

[homerfool]

he's soo cute

[FunnyMcBunny]

Dude, that is so freaking cool! :O

[guillotinegod]

what?! how do you keep it as a pet? I live on the big island and always wanted to make them as my pet! Could you tell me how to do it?

[TimmyGal]

I'd love to have a meerkat! I heard they love to cuddle.

[fangdracona18]

that thing is so cute where can i get 1

[acco8675309]

Awesome pet. I freaked out once I found out steve was in the back ground though. lol

[wejaro]

Está hermosa!!!!

Un animalito my curioso , simpático, agradable y muy sociable.

¿Quien podría imaginar que la mangosta le gane en batalla a una feroz cobra?

[iL0veMybFFL]

i want one >:O

[MAC97178]

its so fucking adorable

[LiptonGuy]

Is a mongoose like a ferret ?

What would make the better pet - assuming they were BOTH equally domesticated ?

[zodiolestes]

Also, NO- mongoose aren't "Domesticated"(But I'd rather have one than a Pit-Bull Terrier dog-ANYDAY! Try having one of "them" bite you &count how many stitches you'll need!) But, anyhoo, yes, ANY creature can bite you-from my baby mink-to my mothers parrots. It's just that becoming a "teenager"-awash with hormones is traumatic for any animal(Even us!) That is why you need to neuter& descent them to curb their aggreesive nature-Also getting babies will help,also.

[nuggbubbler]

good point, unlike a pit or rott, the mongoose isn't capable of killing you. Unless of course he got at the balls - then you're fucked - that shit would get crushed. I still have yet to meet the kung fu master that can dodge a ball shot from a mongoose, but then again, I don't travel much.

[ploutry]

You would need many stitches say if a pit bit your arm. They lock thier jaws and are extremely fast and agile. If one bit your arm you would need a new arm. Trust me I should know. My old neighbors could climb a tree if it was atleast slanted 97 degrees.

[princewaffle]

They do not lock their jaws.

[ploutry]

Yeah try explaining that again to a person that has been attacked I didnt hear you. Look it up because they do.

[paintedpicture]

You doof, it's physically impossible for any mammal to lock their jaws. They're dogs, not alligators for gods sake.

[princewaffle]

You're assuming that I have nothing to back up my claim. I did look it up. Wander over to google, won't you, and search for "pitbull locking jaws". I guarantee that the first result you will get will tell you it's a myth.

[ploutry]

Okay I belive cooks that write these things over my own past experince thank you sir. And by locking jaws I meant a strong grip not fucking "locking" as in the locking the tires of a drag racer so it cant turn. Thanks for backing up your claim with something you haven't experienced.

[princewaffle]

Then state that they have a strong PSI. Don't perpetuate a myth that offends both the dogs that I own and love and myself, in turn. (I am fully aware that pitbulls have a strong bite. I haven't experienced it because I haven't given a dog a reason to, whether by being a bad pet owner or causing the dog to be aggressive.)

[ploutry]

Okay but it wasnt my dog I know how to raise a dog.

[chiconspiricy]

They do NOT lock their jaws. They are no different than other dogs except for enlarged musculature around the jaw. There is no way for them to "lock" however.

[ploutry]

You dumbass read 2 comments above I stated that by locked I meant strong jaw muscles. Geez fucking people these days don't pay attention.

[chiconspiricy]

Strong jaw muscles do not equal locked...locked would refer to the bone structure locking in a way that is impossible to open without breaking the bones in the jaw.

[ploutry]

I guess you still didnt understand that was like a week ago please leave me alone. Everyone makes such a big deal over things that don't fucking matter!!!!!!!!!!!

[chiconspiricy]

You are the one who called me "dumbass" to begin with. I was hardly being cruel.

[zodiolestes]

I guess, then,that a bleached weasel skull still"locked" onto an eagles neck is just "voluntary"???

[chiconspiricy]

What are you on about?

[zodiolestes]

EXACTLY WHAT I SAID! The facts speak for themselves... And you don't EVEN want to take me on-SO SHUT DA FUCK UP-DUMBASS!!!

[pinkfurryhat]

Wait. omg. Steve Erwin? ;-; the sound was off when i first watched this; plus i didn't see that part. now I'm sad. ='[

[pinkfurryhat]

I had a ferret in Oregon, but when i came back to Hawaii i couldn't bring her with me. I was wondering if mongoose are good pets? Like would they go back to their natural instincts and attack you? Cuz i heard they were vicious little things. :P

[MH2topspot]

I wouldnt consider mongoose pets since they arent domesticated. the one we had was great as a pup but when he grew up he became the dominant "MALE" and was very territorial. and yes they bite very hard (hard enough to bite all the way through your big toenail "OUCH")

[pinkfurryhat]

ok so not good pets? they just look so friken cute! and our laws are gay. D=

[nuggbubbler]

yeah they bite hard as shit. Ours bit me after my brother and them blowdried him after his daily bath in the bathroom sink (remember how their scent glands cause them to have that super pungent nasty wild gamey smell?) They probably had the drier on too hot and burned his ass, cuz when I picked him up right after that he bit the shit outta my finger. It was so fast and I think it was more than one bite, the shit really hurt.

[pinkfurryhat]

ok now i don't want one xD

[nuggbubbler]

i mean, you had a ferrett right? Aren't mongooses and ferretts pretty much the same kind of animal, or cousins anyway? But yeah, to think he was still a baby when he bit me. I don't even want to think about what it feels like to have a full grown one tearing up that ass. But still, its not a badger or anything, where you'll get whole digits severed by those teeth. But you definitely gotta get them when they're babies, like any wild animal ('cept maybe pigs, which adjust easy).

[pinkfurryhat]

From what i remeber, it was more like being bitten by a kitten. it made indents, but i think they would have to really try and break the skin.

[nuggbubbler]

the ferrett? He may not have laid into you that bad when he bit you, maybe he was just irritated. And that mongoose had no problem breaking through my skin. I mean, he'd pull his bites when he was playing, like a dog, so it wasn't even a nibble. But he wasn't playing that one time.

[pinkfurryhat]

Well ferrets bite like cats because you know how if you "tickle" a cat's belly, then they mouth your hand? It's like that

[nuggbubbler]

oh i see now

[zodiolestes]

Mongoose are closer to the cats,civets&hyenas ( feline carnivores)While ferrets&weasels are closer to the dogs,bears&raccoons(canine carnivores). The fact that ferrets& mongoose resemble each other is owed to their similar diets& lifestyle and the fact that they are the only ones in their family tree that "still' resemble their ancient ancestors...

[Heolani]

@nuggbubbler

Dahhh! you can't get ride of their scent with a bath and a blow dryer.

[d3th4u2]

@MH2topspot things dont have to be domesticated to be pets, its pets are pretty much animals that you care for

and my uncle has a mongoose, said its mean so i guess he hasnt like tamed it down yet

[zodiolestes]

Must be nice to have such a unique pet;and to think the U.S. Gov't tried to exterminate them! We can't legally have the "Hawiian" or Indian mongoose here on the mainland;the closest thing available for us would be the cusimanse.

[nuggbubbler]

We had one back in 91. His mother probably got killed because the mongoose hole, which happened to be in the parking lot landscaping of the apt bldg I lived in at the time, was abandoned and we heard the squeaking noises. We nursed him with a eyedropper and later he ate cat food. Alas, pit bull got him at the beach though before he was 3 mo. He loved them grasshoppers. We called him Rikki Tikki, what did you name yours?

[MH2topspot]

ours was named BUDDY

[Antillespatriot10]

@MH2topspot Do they make good pets? The exact species is found where I live, and since ferrets are illegal here, I was wondering if they (mongoose) make good pets. Can you give me a bit of help here. Thanks.

[MH2topspot]

@Antillespatriot10 no they dont make good pets. we had a rare chance at raising a 2 week old baby to full size, and it was a handful. a grown mongoose will never be tame and finding a lone pup is a rare thing. if you do happen to aquire a baby mongoose and plan to raise it, your on your own. we were refused help from the honolulu zoo and almost all veterinarians(all but one), so be prepared for the worst but expect the best.

[Antillespatriot10]

@MH2topspot Thanks. Did you release it back into the wild? Also, do they bite?

[MH2topspot]

@Antillespatriot10 yes and yes very hard

[Antillespatriot10]

@MH2topspot Thanks. I'm going to give it a shot anyway. I saw a mongoose half an hour ago :P.

[Antillespatriot10]

@MH2topspot Also, since you said that the male are territorial. What do you think the females are like?

[MH2topspot]

@Antillespatriot10 no idea how females will act when mature.

[Heolani]

@Antillespatriot10

If found young with eyes closed, bottle feed with goats milk. They will be tame through-out their life span ( 8-10 years) They are illegal in Hawaii, don't show them around. Get them spayed and neutered. Ask a vet or Doctor friend discreetly, will be expensive. Keep them confined, either in fenced ( bury fence, they dig) or inside. Free range mongoose pets get into trouble.

[gagelyssa4ever]

@nuggbubbler Rikki Tikki is wat i will name a mongoose if i ever get one loved that story! Did your mongoose ever kill any snakes? lol

[nuggbubbler]

@gagelyssa4ever

naw. there's no snakes in Hawaii

[supercooldude64]

@nuggbubbler I just read that story today...lol

[rajahua]

@nuggbubbler

i would got that pit bull after that together with his owner, both.

[justaskyourmother]

whats he eating

[MH2topspot]

not eating just playing with the pillow stuffing after he made a new hole in it, and a hemp keychain

[ringtailroxy]

i like the crocodile hunter in the background! sorry the little guy isn;t around now... do they have short life spans, like ferrets?

[MiaPkaya305]

where the heck can u get a mongoose im dieing for one

[Danny7930]

omfg those bastards bite!

[Thunderbolt666]

He is just like my cat!

[younghero95]

[EagleGhost117]

Hell yeah,I want 1.

[nekrataal7]

back in 2000 though, is he still around?

[MH2topspot]
