Ferris the Ferret does a Weasel War Dance

- Ferris the ferret was diagnosed with lymphoma (cancer) and the vet recommended he be put down on the operating table.
Two weeks later and his health is great, as seen in this beautiful clip of him playing.
I think I know where the term "pop goes the weasel" comes from: The War Dance.
That or the real reason, Weasel is cockney rhyming for a coat. Pop was a word used for pawning something. Coats were usually the most expensive piece of clothing to pawn when you're struggling for cash.
It's also the sound it makes when they bite clean through a rodent head
Haha
@@OldSkoolWax ,
So...what do the monkey and mulberry bush represent then?
@@OldSkoolWax or in Manchester English "I've just sold me fuckin coat lads, been a shit day I've got no fuckin money."
I finally got my little girl exited enough to do a war dance, recently got her and as she’s getting more comfortable more of her personality is starting to show. She will also take little pieces of her food that I will hand her and she will be incredibly gentle and make sure she doesn’t bite my finger. We have given her time to get used to us and get more comfortable and she has :)
We were given her by someone who found her tied up, he was about to be homeless and couldn’t take care of her. We are getting her a proper kennel, place to play, food, toys, treats, and she has a vet appointment already set. I’m so happy she is doing better, I think she is just a baby, she is so tiny, not nearly he size of a full grown ferret. We think she may be a few months old.
I cannot imagine someone doing that to a poor little ferret. Theyre are the sweatest little things and even if they were fiesty they cant hurt you theyre just fluffy little babies lol. I miss my ferrets a whole lot, it's a shame they get old so quick🤧
@Ash Doszczeczko From a quick google:
Ferrets live an average lifespan of 5-7 years, however, the current record for the oldest ferret is 14 years old!
&
“[A ferret’s lifespan ranges] from five to nine years,” she said. “[It’s] a pretty large gap and it’s mainly because the ferrets in pet stores live on a shorter time frame, whereas if you get a ferret from a breeder … you get a longer age range.”
Did the guy who found the ferret end up okay? Did he find a good home?
@@ErikratKhandnalie I am not sure, last I saw him he was in a trailer with his dog, so I’m hoping he is okay
RUN! This ferret can control time speed!

The first 19 seconds really tickled me, especially that big jump and look of exhilaration at 00:13. I have 4 ferrets and they’re each entertaining.
It is amazing how they can be both goofy and graceful at the same time
I love how his little ears just flop !
Lost my boy this past October. Rest in peace Musky. What a great friend.
I thought my ferret was scared when he did this but this means he's excited right?
Yes.
Yes indeed from doing some research about ferrets
Late to the party but weasel & stoat’s do a “war dance” to trance their prey before they strike. Ferrets being closely related to weasels probably do the same. Here’s Ozzy the Desk weasel to see him war dance/play with his human. For example: th-cam.com/video/VdRXuyBOyow/w-d-xo.html & th-cam.com/video/d2CTVqt2wxU/w-d-xo.html & th-cam.com/video/QzBZCao0kLE/w-d-xo.html
It's kinda like how a cat hunches down and wiggles it's butt before pouncing or how if you lock eyes with a dog and then drop a couple inches the dog goes into crazy play mode.
@@keithpennock after having my ferret for almost a year I can concur that he does like to charge up his attack before taking me out. In the friendliest way though.
When I brought mine home from a pet store, I wish i woukd have caught it. Guessing he never felt a carpet or freedom from a cage before. He did summersaults across the carpet. Never seen it again. But he still side ways bounces with his front legs flailing.
Thanks for this video, it brought back happy memories of the ferret from my childhood, had her for 9 happy years.
I miss my ferrets antics. He was such a sweet boy.
That last jump by the other ferret over Ferris was really graceful xD
Anyone else think "O Fortuna" would go perfectly with this?

So mighty and fiercely cute.
Awwww a happy boi.
Ferrets are definitely hilarious -- and very aware -- little people!
He looks so happy , ty🙂

Love this vid , adorable woolly weasels you have ....but also made me miss my beloved mother / daughter pair , my silver Angora Miss Woolworth and her chunky 1/2 Welsh polecat daughter , Polefat.
Love this.
Suddenly had loads of comments on this - can I ask where you found it? Wondered if it had been linked somewhere.
@@davidrfrench - The algorithm just plopped it into my feed. It seems I am not alone.
BTW - your video reflected what my Bobby and my Nicholas were doing this morning! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
@@davidrfrench
Same here... just popped up in my feed.
Just Adorable little creatures! I'm so happy this did show up! 🥰
It's amazing seeing how intricate their little moves really are.
This must be the work of a Ferrety stand! Call Joseph Joestar!
Is that a. MOTHERFUCKING JoJo REFERENCE
He Is To Adorable To Be Vicious But They Do Have A Big Bite To Them 😍😏🐾💛
Back in 1987, when i kept ferrets, i called this Spazzing Out LOL!!! Miss my ferret days. Too cute.
Excited - Cute little ear & mouth & hands
I love when my ferret Shadow war dances, its like he’s challenging me to a match lol
That was one happy ferret
We do not have Ferrets as pets, Ferrets have us as slaves.
Class. They are absolutely bonkers.
That's really cool to watch in slow motion
I miss my ferrets war dance. They're very old now and can only manage some excited shuffling. Not the energetic hops from their youth.
the description hit me like a truck, glad he survived.
Thank God youtube has a 2x speed function.
I also absolutely love that jump by your other ferret at 1:00 near the end :D
Too Cute!
Good grief. Big smile watching the video. Very sad description.
Sorry for the loss.
what a happy ferret
Prepare the airforce, navy, military, all of em
oh brother your dance is very beautiful.
I practice a war dance, too.
hey bro let's dance together!
And people ask me why i like ferrets so much! Look at that bouncy boi!
Your 3 ferrets look identical to the 3 that my wife and I owned before our daughters were born. That was over twenty years ago. There names were Hershey, Abby, and Zoe. I still miss them. 🙂
I’ve seen war dances, but this is serious. This ferret is not messing around.
Happy dance, my ferrets do it when excited or clean enclosures new type of food..never fight 🇬🇧
heard this is how ferrets hunt but my ferret Misha just beelines for your ankle
Such a cool dance 😮
They have three ferrets. They don't put the vacuum away.
That is one happy fur slinky XD
That's one happy ferret lol
SO CUTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! I love ferrets so much!!!
Like a spring with feet!
Glad he recovered. How do you keep up with those little critters?
My ferret would do that, and it was so funny to watch!
Delightfull
Anti targeting software activated!
Thats pretty much what ferrets and weasles do with their wardance.
They try to make it hard for their prey or predator to keep track of them and predict their next move.
great video!
Lil cutie
Adorable

ferret love to play dance with a person and another ferrets
It only makes sense considering that they're both of the Mustelidae family...
my dad has ferrets of his own 4 of them
Ari_ MJlover I have 4, too, and they’re very entertaining!
try balling them up and bowling them across a smooth tile floor...my boys would war dance all the way running back to me so I could do it again.
#RIP Sweezel, Domino and Logan
My ferrets are sick and i hope they survive 😞
How it feels to chew 5 gum
**HELP I CAN'T SHIT NO MORE**
5 gum. Stimulate your ferrets
They literally come at you sideways lol.
I loved my ferret.he would curl up into my neck in a ball and sleep with me.and if he woke before me lil bugger would nip at my socks pulling them off.trying to do house hold chores is always a riot.Ever try sweeping and mopping the floor with a ferret.they thinks its a game I would have to put mine on my shoulders cause he would try jumping in the mop bucket.they are by far the funnest pets.i suffered depression from loosing my mom dad and finance all in one year my aunt just dropped a ferret off one day said he will cheer you up.within 30mins I had a smile on my face
One happy boye :3
I had a baby female I named Farrah I trained her to walk on a leash. I also had a male at a different time his name was Oscar we lived on a field he enjoyed walking with me through it he would get ahead and sit up to look for me. A kill deer bird had a nest in the ground and she went nuts whenever he was around.
"I'm free!" 😆
Happy to hear he's in good health now. ❤😊
That pfp... I thought that was something OTHER than a peach
I'm just going to randomly do this in the office. See if anyone notices.
^^ too cute ! *-*
little boy go *boing*
farris trying to fight the final boss... 🧐 man
Ferrets are wonderful, wonderful animals and great pets, except for the fact that they have absolutely zero sense and seem to be in a race-wide CONTEST to find the absolute silliest way to get themselves killed.
I had ferrets once, one night I let them out to play for in a CLOSED ROOM and after a little while one of them was simply... gone. I stopped noticing him around as we played. At first I didn't think much of it. I thought he was just hiding, he liked to hide in and under things, so I checked the usual places and... nothing.
He was gone. Just apparently evaporated.
I freaked out, I searched desperately all night, I never could find out where he went or how he got out. My room has no vents, the windows were shut, the door was shut, niether of those lovably insane slinkies had ever tried to get out before, and I pulled the room apart to check all conceivable hiding places.
Not a damned trace anywhere.
I found him later that morning. Wanna know where? In the street out front of the house, run over.
To this day, I have no clue how he did it. The only conceivable way to get there I could think of was a 16 foot straight drop onto a concrete driveway with nothing to climb on and smooth aluminum siding.
I was upset, but honestly, I was even more IMPRESSED than I was upset.
So he got out a window?
@Stanley Hape A window that was barely open, had a screen in it, and led to a sixteen foot drop lined with smooth aluminum siding and no other handholds to climb on, straight down onto an asphalt driveway.
It's the only working theory I have in the investigation, and it's not even a good one.
Not to put the playback speed to 0.25 for maximum slow.
I know a binky and a zoom when I see one.
Aww he is a copy of my little Fritz!
"haha what a cute video!"
this ferret was killed because he had cancer
"jesus fucking christ"
🤣 hahaha I’m dying in laughter
I looked up why they do this and it’s because their excited our wanting to play
Deadpool ferret!
I have two ferrets
I have a ferret
Richard Bradshaw thanks for sharing
@Niels Verrydt that's not true. (But females can die from not mating) if the ferrets a male he should be fine to live without a friend/mate.
These are *Furries!*
(Have heard them called “fuzzies,” but being literal-minded, and also enjoying touching their soft fur…)
Hope he's still doing well six years on. Not sure how long ferrets live, after all.
Ferrets live up to 5 to 10 years so it's probably still alive and healthy
So you wound it up with a key and let it go.
How can a ferret do a weasel war dance when it's a ferret..
They only attack when you look away gosh darn ninjas. Though the ferret attempts to murder goats by ripping out the neck.. . At least I think is what they try as they just end up hanging from the neck while the goat yells wtf. And I always support anything that even though its futile is an attempt to kill those blasted evil goats :)
No war music??
War noodle
My ferret doesn’t war dance when we play :(
I like the name Ferris but if you only had 1 ferret, the name Ferret Bueller would have been awesome too 😆
Hahaha that awesome
Looks just like my girl Katara 🥹
who unliked this ferret
animal abusers
No one exepct you
@@williamacosta6698 No sense
Вот зачем их разводят на шубы?! Лучше бы занимались селекцией что бы полностью их одомашнить! Это же как кошка! Только компактней и прикольней!
Terrifying. These animals need to be stopped. This thing looks like it wants to bite a baby.
Oh Damn, those furry little balls of Fun are so adorable, and you have a white one as well !
Детей заводите а не диких животных,совсем с ума сошли совсем из ума выжили.
Так всех животных по домам перетаскают а что в природе будет.
