Yeah, domestic rats are easily one of, if not the best, small rodent pet available in the pet store! Cool little animals! Raising a wild baby rat is pretty cool too, but they are definitely different from their domestic cousins! MUCH more jumpy and likely to bite.
Today I learned that Wild Rats and Domestic Pet Rats (Fancy Rats) are so incredibly different both physiologically and mentally. One is a destructive pest that I've known all these years that harbor diseases and parasites, and the other is a super cute affectionate ball of fluff that loves and trusts humans.
Joe, try chef's anti-cut gloves when you want to try to grab a rat head first! They aren't expensive or as bulky as leather but may still offer protection against "slicing" bites. Love to see dogs doing what they were bred for and the mink doing what comes naturally!
@@feraynironmane8101 Oh hell no. They have these stick on bandaids that are laced together (like a shoe), and you put the sticky bandaid pieces on either end of the cut, and then just pull the string to bring the two sides together, and it closes the wound like stitches. Without all the pain. 😩

@Raven4K Rats breed a bit slower than mice. And yes, they will come back. But if you dont control the population, they go out of control. This is one of the best most efficient ways Ive seen to keep them under control. If you poison them, they die a horrible agonizing death. And no creature even a pest animal deserves that agony. Never mind the poison potentially affecting other animals who eat the bait or poisoned rat corpse. I once saw a strychnine poisoned squirrel, someone with chickens had put strychnine bait out to keep small animals away from the chicken feed. It was the most horrific thing i have seen an animal suffer. Its body was arched so far back its head was touching its tail, its face was frozen in what looked like a grimace with all its teeth showing and it was flopping around on the ground gasping for air. My friend killed it and buried it to put it out of its misery and to prevent a dog from getting to it. Now, imagine that was your pet suffering like that because it messed with a poisoned animal corpse or got into bait. Better the rats die to predator animals as nature intended
I love this channel. being in Va and having mink and ferret farms all over the place, its great to see that others can show their working side and also mink and ferret can be very loving and affectionate creatures
WOW it shows so much in this very first part of this video how truly smart those stinkers are.

I personally don’t find rats nasty, domesticated or not. They keep themselves very clean, cleaner than a dog’s mouth and we let dogs lick our faces 😭 But yeah they can carry disease and tend to live in trash because it’s good for hiding and goes untouched for a long time. Other than that they’re so smart and make great pets, they learn tricks well

I’ve been bitten to the bone by the exact same species of rat. To the bone! It healed quickly thank goodness but man that finger was swollen for a week.
Do you have a pet rat or how did it happen? I’ve seen domesticated (friendly) rats at pet stores and such but I can’t imagine myself owning one or even touching one.
@@DukeOnkledNukem I’ve been curious about domesticated rats but they have such short lifespans. That’s why I don’t want any and also the costs of the enclosures, vet bills, etc.
Never would I have imagined to be laying in my bed at 4 a.m watching dogs and minks hunt rats.. I am the most interested in something that i have been for a while, my mother has always had ferrets which I believe to be from the same family or close. Awesome animals too
I hope your finger heals fast! Love your videos, dogs and all of you! You are awesome and so are the wonderful dogs. Keep up the fantastic work! I love the mink alot! She's beaautiful!
Wow, I remember subscribing when you had like 12k subscribers. I just saw you are over a million! Nice!! Your communication with animals is phenomenal!
Rats are extremely smart creatures. I've owned a few till they died of natural causes. When I realized I was slighty allergic,I still kept them as I really bonded with them, they honestly act like little dogs when you play with them. That being said they are def a nuisance and a problem that needs handled in some places. I really enjoy your videos, although It does make me uncomfortable sometimes. Your animals are amazing workers. Great video!
Yeah, domestic rats are easily one of, if not the best, small rodent pet available in the pet store! Cool little animals! Raising a wild baby rat is pretty cool too, but they are definitely different from their domestic cousins! MUCH more jumpy and likely to bite.
@Joseph Carter the Mink Man interesting, I didn't know they were different. I assumed the ones in the pet store were just vaccinated, and handled more.. both my rats had different personalities, 2 males. One was a chubby lil playful white rat relaxed,very chill, I'd go for walks with him on my shoulder. My other one was much more jumpy and wild like in his cage. Both seemed to view me as safety. If put them on the ground they would follow me, run up my leg....def not like the wild ones LOL
You get your hands in there your gonna get bit at some stage, how this guy seems to be immune to infection though is awesome, rats carry so many germs it's incredible he isn't sick even by handling them so much let alone from saliva from a bite!
Yeah, I don't remember any infections yet from my various bites or cuts that I get on the job. That's pretty surprising, especially when you consider the fact that I don't even clean the wound until I'm done working for the day. Now the rusty nail I stood on last fall, THAT was a HORRIBLE beast of an infection!!!! I took some really potent antibiotics a couple days after the injury, and it was clear I was going to have some serious problems if I hadn't gotten those antibiotics in my system!!! I would have taken antibiotics sooner, but I was out of state, and it took me a couple days before I got home and was able to get the prescription from my doctor.
I love these vids so much. Bindi is turning into an excellent leader just like Boss, smart and without ego. If the other dogs get a rat, that's fine. She's more interested in the rats they didn't get. And I love the 'mink machine' you invented with F3, Joe! Why let the mink out? Just bring the mink to the rat! LOL!
The two dogs under that pallet looking at the rat ,must have been terrifying to be the rat. In that night vision color they looked like demons. Super cool.
I've just found your Channel and find it both fascinating and compelling viewing ! The keen intelligence of your animals is astounding. You guys do an amazing job. Thankyou so much for Sharing.✌❤ Bob.
I adore this man's training and work with these animals. Dogs working in a job they love they get to run, chase, dig, and chew on some rat toys lol The minks are amazing so ferocious and lethal.
Get yourself a nice pair of cut proof gloves, you can get ones for a decent price that are basically chainmail! Haha. If you find them not grippy enough, or getting too much crud caught in the weave, put an _oversized_ pair of nitrile work gloves over top of them.
Ms F3 is doing so good! She’s a rising super star! I have a gut feeling she’s gonna get a name very soon! You can really tell all the hard work that goes into breeding and training such amazing animals!
Some of these mink seem like they could use names of historical and mythological warriors and hunters. Like Fianna meaning Warrior Huntress. I bet there's tons of great hunter/huntress names!
Kinda cute how F3 will just sit there and lick the dead mouse a few times like she's passing on the positive re-enforcement routine, LOL. On a more serious note, I'm loving how much there is to learn about the animals.
That rat POV must be terrifying to see as a rat, running to avoid practically EVERY animal you see because you're at the bottom of the food chain which sucks for them but life has to have a cycle somehow.
I got such a case of the giggles at the dogs' whining in frustration at not being able to reach the rat under the feeder! And Bindi's playing _Chomp-A-Rat_ on the ones hiding in the wall! 😂 You were right, though; F3 was definitely the right 'tool' for the job. Any notions on what to call that little spitfire, yet? 😃🦦 Please clean that wound *_thoroughly_* and get your shots, Joe? 😭
Nice take-down on the fence by Bindi. Sorry to see and hear that bite on your finger. Hopefully that rat wasn't carrying any diseases. Good luck healing. When I heard you say F3 was on fire, I thought a good name would be Fiero or Fiera.

The photography with this video was superb and a vast improvement on previous video. I love your ethics and your work. I hope you had an anti Tetanus jab for that rat bite. Please consult your doctor
3:45 the dogs are whining like, Come out I want to catch you. Good job with that catch Maggie. I love watching the mink wrap them up like a furry snake. haha F3 needs a great name she's doing so well. This was a great video to show why rats are so successful. They quickly learned a way to avoid the mink and dogs without the humans help they might have made it out. Poor Joe hope your finger heals up well. 🐀☠
I've had a more painful reaction getting a papercut. Joseph, you're a beast yourself, barely uttering an ouch after being bitten to the bone by these gnarly rodents.
F-3 is so cool. She's not afraid to face the rat head on, that's awesome! Not halfway through but don't want to see Joe get bit - watching with one eye 😄
I wonder how many unlikely, arty-farty, city-dwelling women wearing vintage clothes and a full faces of make up sit like me and watch these sorts of gruesome compelling videos? I have a clutch of favoured rabbit holes (pardon the pun) including: cave diving tech videos, ratting videos, police interrogation videos, space travel and engineering videos. I wonder what will next capture my imagination? Thanks for uploading this weirdly engrossing, high energy vids. I'm in the UK and it all started with ratting terrier video from English farms. There must be more chicks like me out there and it makes me laugh out loud to imagine them all sitting in their Vuitton pyjamas drinking artisan coffee, their bedroom filled with frienzied screeching noises of rats running for their lives...with the occasional crunching bone here or there. 😂🐕🐀
Great work Joe . I love this giving all the animals a run out..they know there places n instinct to what there doingbis amazing yet again bro..I praise you fa the work you do n done with your working animals dogs n mink together great team you really have one of the best hunting teams I've seen fair play much love bro

God bless you and your family. Greetings form Miami.
Way to go Maggie! ❤❤😅 F3 did an amazing job. Good job to all. Hope your finger is ok. Interesting how the rats learnt from previous videos and are now climbing on top of the wire.

Hawk wouldn’t take out as many rats. Joseph did used to have an awesome lizard that got out there like the minks. Joseph bring back the lizard!!

Hope your finger heals up and has no infection Joe. Thanks all for another great video!
It did, thanks for thinking of me. No infection at all 🙂
When it comes to any bites infections can be scary. I wonder though how how many people get rabies through rat bites?

We go `ratting ` (Here in the U.K) with dogs- but not mink! Nay, we use `Fred The Ferret` and his siblings `Compo` `Foggy` `Truly` `Pearl` `Marina` and `Elie` So a big hello from us `Fred the Ferret` & co Joseph.
Hello!
@@JosephCartertheMinkMan Hope the finger is healing fine Joe. Had a few `nips` meself. Ever had one pee on you!? Have to check it didn't enter any cuts. Full bath and clothes washed- just normal hazards of the `work`.
@@alansmith1989 Yep, it healed up just fine without complication.
I found a dismembered mouse in my ferrets cage
Bindi looks like me when I play warzone….dialed in! Let’s Go😂
Its so funny to me when the dogs do that puppy whine of "I can't reach my toy" when the rats of hiding and running for their lives.
You poking through the slats and the dogs trying to get the rat as it poked its head out made me think of whack-a-mole😂
The photography with this video was superb and a vast improvement on previous video. I love your ethics and your work. I hope you had an anti Tetanus jab for that rat bite. Please consult your doctor
ahaha. YOLO it Bro.. when I heard the crack when you stick your hand in there gave me goosebumps. I pray for you brother
3:45 the dogs are whining like, Come out I want to catch you. Good job with that catch Maggie.
I love watching the mink wrap them up like a furry snake. haha F3 needs a great name she's doing so well.
This was a great video to show why rats are so successful. They quickly learned a way to avoid the mink and dogs without the humans help they might have made it out.
Poor Joe hope your finger heals up well. 🐀☠
I've had a more painful reaction getting a papercut. Joseph, you're a beast yourself, barely uttering an ouch after being bitten to the bone by these gnarly rodents.
The minks are vicious 💪🏿💯‼️ no hesitation in their body at all.
Wow. That's a family of great hunters.
Ngl y’all gotta train a falcon or something for air support
F-3 is so cool. She's not afraid to face the rat head on, that's awesome!
Not halfway through but don't want to see Joe get bit - watching with one eye 😄
I imagine Joe getting his shots when his dogs do. LOL.
Awesome mic to pick up that sound.
Crazy how quick little miss f3 works in those tight spaces
I can’t can’t help but think “ poor little rats” when watching these videos. But I can’t stop watching. Ha
You've just invented the Mink-o-matic.
just having a good time minkin'
You have a good bunch of upcoming mink this year.
This reminds me of that Bambi movie scene where the 🕊️ loses and screams "i can't take this anymore i gotta get out of here!"
6:24 when the Rat knows that the mink is his worst nightmare.
Rat screams in panic because the beat that is gonna take.
Should call F-3...Vicious or Reaper. Love love love the videos by the way.
I wonder how many unlikely, arty-farty, city-dwelling women wearing vintage clothes and a full faces of make up sit like me and watch these sorts of gruesome compelling videos? I have a clutch of favoured rabbit holes (pardon the pun) including: cave diving tech videos, ratting videos, police interrogation videos, space travel and engineering videos. I wonder what will next capture my imagination? Thanks for uploading this weirdly engrossing, high energy vids. I'm in the UK and it all started with ratting terrier video from English farms. There must be more chicks like me out there and it makes me laugh out loud to imagine them all sitting in their Vuitton pyjamas drinking artisan coffee, their bedroom filled with frienzied screeching noises of rats running for their lives...with the occasional crunching bone here or there. 😂🐕🐀
I think bringing garden shovel could be good. Just stick one into pocket to ease hand digging.
You took that bite well!
Great work Joe . I love this giving all the animals a run out..they know there places n instinct to what there doingbis amazing yet again bro..I praise you fa the work you do n done with your working animals dogs n mink together great team you really have one of the best hunting teams I've seen fair play much love bro

The legendary Joseph the mink-man. I really enjoy watching your videos, specifically when you go rat hunting with your awesome pack of dogs and the minks. Shame on TH-cam for putting strikes on your channel🤦🏻♂️, it’s clear they have been following the sensitive agenda for a few years now. I hope you are already heal from that rat bite Joseph. God bless you and your family. Greetings form Miami.
Way to go Maggie! ❤❤😅 F3 did an amazing job. Good job to all. Hope your finger is ok. Interesting how the rats learnt from previous videos and are now climbing on top of the wire.
A rat bit through my pointer nail as a kid and i never messed with them again, that crunch have me shivers 😭
Dude, you & your animals are amazing !
The title scared me but very good video
It was inevitable you were going to get bit sooner or later,even the dogs and I’m assuming the mink get bit,just adds to the buzz watching your videos 👍
