I had ferrets long before they became "trendy" which thankfully waned quickly since most people have no idea how to properly take care of them. My wife and I became an unofficial ferret rescue, and we found homes for many of those cute little weasels. When I saw the trailer for the wolverine show, I was hooked. We have no wolverines here, but I'd love to find a clutch of fisher kits and steal one to live with us. Fishers are beautiful! Wolverines are better-marked and they stand-down bears when defending a moose carcass. Still a wolverine might be a handful around the house.

Well, nuts...
I got a message stating that the video isn't available in my area due to rights restrictions. :frown:
 
Nuts! x2 It's a great show. I watched it last night on PBS and I've got it streaming on my PC right now.

I love critters from the weasel family. I have fed wild weasels in less than 30 minutes of tempting and training. We have pine martens here. The weasel family (including skunks, of course) has members that are smart, inventive, and persistent. Combine that with grasping "hands" and you have a potential for WAY more stimulation than you could imagine with dogs and cats.

Too bad Hurkyl isn't online, he could watch it and narrate.

The show is top-notch. Worthy of Attenborough's narration. It is a killer show.
