Just in case your wondering what your ferrets do when your not watching. This is a web cam of a black footed ferret at the national zoos web site. The cam is in her nest...where you can watch her acting just like our fuzzies. No poop in the corners of her nest though..hum?  nationalzoo.si.edu/Animals/NorthAmerica/default.cfm?cam=BFFJust thought I'd share. |

Oh, i just realized that if you click on the animals at the bottom of that page, they each have their own webcam. This is even more cool now.  |

She's usually out of the nest for an hour or so at night. What I'm watching for is a mess of kits to watch grow. That would just be too cool.....aaaahhhh baby ferrets what more could you ask for?

Is that styrofoam she's sleeping on or what? It bugs me that there's no hammock in there, no fuzzy fleecy blanket, food, water, not even a toy! Yikes! My kids would be totally pissed off at me with out all their stuff!  Okay, just kidding, I would like to know what her bedding is though. |

Geez, what a life! All she ever does is sleep!! I think they dont have any hammocks and toys in there because that is where she will have her babies. I wonder if she is pregnant, i wish we could see the rest of her environment, where she plays and stuff, all the other cams show the creatures playing and stuff. I want to see her face, but it is always tucked under  |

Oh man i cant get a break, i just went back to check just one more time, and she was cleaning her butt, so i STILL cant see her face, it was buried again, lol. Her back was to me, then she took off out the tube. This could become addictive............

I finally saw her face last night. It was 10:22 PM Colorado time. She had been out...came back in made a 360 turn and went right back out! So I didn't see much but, she is too cute! And me too...where's that little door go? It would be a blast to be able to see her play, see what she does out there, see if theres more of them. Maybe we should write to the zoo and ask for more cameras. Oh God, then I'd NEVER leave this computer!  |

North America Photo Gallery | Help with cam "Watching black-footed ferrets: You are viewing the nest box of a black-footed ferret at the Zoo's Conservation and Research Center, where ferrets are bred to be saved from extinction. In 2007, 24 kits were born here and survived past infancy. Ferrets, which once ranged across the Great Plains and are now one of the world's rarest mammals, are more active at night—don't be surprised if the ferret on camera is asleep." So you mean, there were no ferrets born right there, in this nest? Says there were 24 last year. Theres not gonna be any babies! Please say it isn't so! |
