These are not wild polecats! You would not get that close to one, especially if they had young

@firebladeips These polecats live at the British Wildlife Centre, they are not tame and not handled, they are used to the public visiting as that has happened since they were born, but they live in a natural environment

hi my polecats have just had kits whitch are now 4weeks old but i was wondering should there eyes be open or not because they arent and im getiing kinda worried wb la x

[pannadawn]

@kikztolazzle I have no idea, as Ferretfanatics said, these are not pet polecats, if you are breeding them then i feel you should have some knowledge on these matters

A ferret is essentially a domesticated polecat, anatomically they are pretty much identical except perhaps certain artificially bred behaviour and coat colorization.

@kikztolazzle the eyes are usually open at 2 weeka bu tsome domestic breeds take up to 6 weeks to fully open their eyes!! it varies from breed to breed!

@firebladeips yes you could get that close to them!! have you ever lived in the country? ive seen squirles birds and bobcats that will just stay there when you walk up to them. so long as you arent hurting them or threatening them they WILL allow you to stay.

your ferrets will open there eyes at 4 weeks

[MercianLass]

Not 2 weeks old, more like 6 weeks

They move faster and differently to ferrets and are able to catch rabbits in the open.

@firebladeips have you considered the possibility that the camera has a zoom feature?
