00:00Did you know that ferrets bring their babies to their owners for approval?
00:03Many ferrets will bring their babies to their owners' hands, hoping for recognition.
00:08If the owner doesn't respond, the ferret will anxiously bring the baby back to you until you acknowledge them.
00:14When a ferret receives a stable food source from its owner,
00:17and the owner cares for it and keeps it company during pregnancy,
00:21it will see the owner as its leader.
00:23So, when a family member has babies,
00:26the ferret will bring the newborns to the owner to seek some sort of family approval,
00:31allowing the babies to absorb the leader's scent and be accepted into the family.
00:35However, if you seem indifferent,
00:38the ferret may think you don't like the baby and could immediately abandon it.
00:42On the other hand, if you show warmth and approval,
00:45the baby ferret will be allowed to stay and become part of your family.
00:49So, if a mother ferret brings her babies to you,
00:51be sure to treat them gently and give them the attention they deserve.
