Some videos are just too adorable not to share, and this one of a mama ferret is a prime example. Recently having given birth, this proud mama ferret is determined to get her human to cuddle her babies. At first, she seems to be coming over for some pets, but she quickly begins gently tugging at the human's fingers, trying to pull them toward something. After a few attempts, she's successful in getting the hand over to her box, which is lined with soft material—but then the tiny cries of her babies can be heard.
It's a little bundle of joy! The human pats the babies briefly before pulling their hand away, but mama ferret isn’t having it. She’s so proud of her little ones and insists on showing them off. Ferrets are known for being clever, but it turns out they're also quite persistent when they want something. Mama ferret quickly returns to her human as if to say, “We’re not done here.” It doesn’t take long for the person to give the babies another look.
Even after the human gently picks up one of the babies, pats it, and returns it to the nest, mama ferret isn’t satisfied. She repeatedly guides the person’s hand back to her babies, making sure they get plenty of attention.
It’s clear she’s proud of her little ones, and they are absolutely adorable. What a dedicated and loving mama she is!
