LOL yeah they are pack mates playing, Ein had one ferret, Zim, and man did they romp fast and furious all thru the house. I think Zim taught Ein some cool ferret moves thru play that helped Ein later against raccoons, mean critters that they are, Ein has never had a scratch from the raccoons that he's scared off. thank god!

Oh my gosh how CUTE! Believe me if the ferrets wanted to get away they wouldn't keep running to the pup! Made me miss my Boo, my ferret I had gosh 20 plus years ago. Hope you can get some more video that was wonderful to see. Thanks for sharing!!!

To Lou Ann: herding itself IS a pray driven action. Why do you think they herd? To get all the animals in one spot so it's easier to catch them

Don't worry, they get along great. Ferrets are the kind of animals that like to play hide and seek. Kind of like stalking. They'll run and hide, then jump out of their hiding spot to play attack. This video is after they did this to the pup many times. She kept trying to get them in one spot and stay. Can't hear it on the video, but the ferrets were doing their play chirping. But this experience is just like litter mates playing, which is much rougher. She'll learn to calm down once she figures out how they play and stops trying to keep them in one place. Don't worry everyone, I keep a very close eye on them.

I thought this looked a little scary too, but it reminded me of Al when he first joined our family, playing with Jack the big tomcat. Jack is no sissy, he gets in catfights and holds his own. Little Al had him on his back with his jaws around Jack's throat, with Jack's paw right on Al's face. The cat could've ripped Al's eye out in a blink if he'd wanted to, but never so much as opened a claw (oh maybe once or twice as a gentle warning). They seemed to have it figured out from day 1.

Cute, but scary! It does look more like a prey driven action than herding. Be sure to keep a real close eye on both the ferrets and the dogs.

Ha! She's obsessed with getting that tail! Think she wants it for herself?
