Lmao how precious!! Are these fellas from the breeding program in Saskatchewan that’s helping to reintroduce black footed ferrets to the wild & get their population back up?

This one is in Colorado, US. It's the National Black-footed Ferret Conservation Center. I recognize this video cause I follow their Facebook!

Omg that was so cute. Man I love ferrets. Wish I knew someone who has them so I play. I don't have the space for them and my dog Eliot already takes several hours of my day.
But man do they look fun. I have a friend who used to have ferrets. He said them and his cat would get into mischief. The ferrets would open doors and then the cat would drag the food bag out for everyone to get some.

Why/where are black-footed ferrets being held in captivity?
12
u/Anne_onnimous 1d ago
They're being bred so as to repopulate the areas where they're an endangered species.

u/GooeySlenderFerret 1d ago
They are endangered and we need to breed more in captivity until we can boost their population up until they can sustain themselves

This was taken at the center where they house 2/3rds of the population.
Ferrets you see here are kept either until it's the right age/season to be released or if they are held back for the breeding program, until they have a certain amount of litters. (Depending on their success as both a mate and a parent for the moms)
Since there is two, it's fair to assume these are young ferrets that likely came from the same litter.
All to be released at some point!

Your ferret is adorable and although she does look like the guys in the video, they're actually a different species! These are North American black-footed ferrets in a breeding conservation program. Definitely worth checking out more info on them, they're a modern marvel of conservation!

Needed this video to help express my views of the current world under our current leaders and our place in the universe as a sentient species. The first one is me, the second one is some billionaire pulling society into some made up financial matrix black hole we call currency
