  • to all the dumbshits out there

    scruffing does not hurt the animal. it is loose skin usually used to transport young animals safely or assert dominance. animals do it since it makes animals weak. I dont condone always carrying animals by the scruff but only do it if you need the animal in a weak state for something not transportation. If scruffing hurts your animal then youre doing it fucking wrong. again this doesnt hut your fucking animals.

  • Wow u guys are dumb -_- scruffing a ferret does not hurt them, ferret skin is alot tougher than human skin and even among themselves they would scruff eachother to show dominance and its also a way a mother ferret would move her babies... all it does is basicaly make them body tired, hence the yawn...

  • Scruffing ferrets is poor, unless it is to be used as an emergency. People are not ferrets. Ferrets scruffing each other for mothering or pecking order reasons is normal. Horses kick and bite each other to sort out pecking order, but is a human kicking a horse ok?...cause other horses do it?! Yawning can mean many things, but it primarily means lack of oxygen to the brain. Create a strong bond with your ferret, then you will never need the excuse to scruff.

  • @jameswray50 I did the quiz already. I got great results and it decided for me to own one. And I'm a tween, so it's for certain kids.

  • DONT buy a ferret from these type of retailers!

    Go to a ferret hospital / adoption building.

    They do research on you and decide whether or not you should own 1 and ferrets are not a pet for kids!

  • guys, if ur ganna be rude DONT FREAKING WATCH IT

  • Scruffing a ferret or anything really does not hurt them. Obviously not an adult cat or dog but when they're young it makes them feel more comfortable if you do this gently every now and then.

  • fuck off

  • @ilovenms well tell her shes a idiot....

  • This does not hurt the ferret he is yawning cause he enjoys it

  • Yeah i'm sure they are relaxed being healed like that

  • lmao, it can't stop yawning
