Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
Apollo the hob ferret ferreting rabbits from their underground burrow. A tribute to the hard working domestic ferret.
The underground footage was acquired from a number of warrens in the same area that best illustrates the difficult environments and powerful quarry the working ferret takes in its stride.

These rabbits are collected for food, for my ferrets and people. This is a free range meat, that has lived a free life. These rabbits will be controlled even without me. By taking them myself, the meat is used. Ferreting is an environmentally friendly method of harvesting free range meat.

Never ceases to amaze me how ferrets and their family of weasels can kill things with such ease and no blood

@@gabbirae7274 Oh yeah, hunting Ferrets can slice your finger to the bone in .8 micro seconds, and that's just with their little front teeth flanked by their Canine Fangs.. They also have a Lock Jaw, that's why you see vids of people who have been bitten waving their hand around with a Ferret hanging on as Dead Weight...

Like a moment of silence and reflection. Oh wow! Those tunnels are absolutely amazing. This is the first time animals made drug tunnels. Where they dug through bed rock or go under a river. Forget Art, tall skyscrapers, the James Web telescope. We have rabbit holes.
to anyone who's thinking about stupidly thumbing down this video I think you should know that ferrets are carnivores hunting is a natural thing that they are designs for if you just purchased a ferret for the first time congratulations you have one of the funniest predators in the face of the Earth and also one of the most formidable small predators as they can go up against prey bigger than themselves and survived I've seen a mink survived an attack by a fox and may have died of its injuries but the fox ran away the ferrets natural prey is the prairie dog the reason the West has such a prairie dog problem it's because they got rid of the ferret and they are just starting to reintroduce and train them

My grandfather hunted with ferrets using the same methods in Canada over 90 years ago. It's really cool to still see people hunting this way. This is the best possible enrichment you can give to your ferret.
5 stars. That was awesome. Love the part where the one rabbit stops thinking he is safe and you see the ferrets eyes glowing behind it like Nope.

They are very obedient, love your methods.
I never knew a Ferret could thrash a Rabbit like this. Very cool video.
I've learnt something, I thought a Rabbit bolted at the scent of a Ferret/Polecat. It seemed your worker was showing the rabbit the Warren door 👍
I adore ferrets and pole cats
Underappreciated camera work! Really interesting

Amazing footage.
Ferrets are amazing being so little but having razor teeth. It can puncture through skin.
That is a badass ferret I always heard about them doing tho but never seen it
This is a top quality vid!
Wow! I've never seen this way of rabbit hunting!
This is so amazing. I'm curious what's the coller for?
I have always been fascinated ferrets, weasels, pole cats, stoats.
Subbed. Like these Ferret videos.
Amazing ferret he has the natural kill drive but respects his owner enough not to bite ands still works amazing
Great job showing how ferrets work. I have 5 ferrets here in America and mine don't work but are family pets. They are pee PAD trained so ate free roam 24/7 like dogs. There my life!

a well trained ferret knows the drill. get the rabbits. he gets a nice treat and lots of fuss. :)
That's awesome
Very well filmed
That was awesome
How impressive.... taking down the pray of size of its own
my ferret is much too small and weak to hunt food herself (plus, she's ditzy and nonviolent) i don't hunt for my own moral reasons but it's very interesting to see how trained this ferret is and it motivates me to try to train her more strictly.
Wow he really loves hunting those down
How do they dig those tunnels and where does the dirt go? I have always been amazed by this...
good music! great vid! how small are the camras u got???
That ferret is truly a badass
Great footage, time for some more vids i think mate,
Epic for real
great video what camera's did you use many thanks john
Coolest video I saw today😎 gave me some knowledge I didn't know ferret hunted rabbits pretty nice to know you can count on em to fetch you some rabbit for a meal in the wild 👌👌👌👌 thanks for that knowledge (Zeus Polecat)
I liked your video for such a hunter 😃😄
Ferret's are so cute.
Nice!!
This is really cool
Should have used the "Jaws" music lol. Nice vid
most badass video I've ever seen
How do they get the cameras in the rabbit holes at such good angles
Good ferret! I hope it got some bunny as a treat.
very nice positioning of cameras.
Cool video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙂🙂🙂🙂
wow im dying curious how you trained him or he was born that way?
Absolute brilliant video as always
Cool video!
Best video I’ve ever watched. Thanks for sharing this. Awesome little animals ferrets. Fearless.
Good vid 👍🏻
Very tasty rabbit :).
I thought my dog and two cats would do a good job at taking rabbits outof the veggie and flower beds, i guess for me its time to get a pet ferret
That ferret deserves an oscar
That is so sick.
No idea how i found these vids, but they are fun to watch.
Did you dig down to set up the cameras? That's totally awesome. My oldest boy is starting to take a liking to hunting. We are starting with snares
I didn't know ferrets could be so useful!

so cute it is!

this vid has really inspired me to film some ferreting again, the amount of real battles that are missed beneath must be mindblowing! i gave up trying to film when my go pro studio stopped working which was a right pain! however i do have some ideas for subterranean filming and access to the kit to do it with, i just dont have the patience, skill or time for the editing side! many more of these uploads please!
