oh just some ppl being a bit weird i guess π
My guess would be youtube is less obviously moderated which makes people feel like they can get away with worse behavior.
Torpedo ferret ready to launch
I tend not to read chat much. I'm usually busy with other things to focus on the chat.
you couldnt really use a word filter for it
eating, ferrets are both common af.
you'd need to use a phrase white list, but it would only hit the specific phrase
so people would probably still slip through
asking what the ferrets eat would get banned if words were filterable
Ferret clip of the day
https://www.twitch.tv/ferretsoftware/clip/DepressedImpossibleAlfalfaJebaited-CaVKDcOm3q8tHVgP
Watch FerretSoftware's clip titled "Henry using blanky to become gray ghost for halloween!"
it'd probably be cruel, but in the future rescue would it be possible to simulate daylight at other hours so there is just a constant feed of ferrets awake to watch
so theres like the am and pm stream
that tripod is a night cam pointed at a cage with 25 ferrets in it. we're just waiting for shaye to swap the camera feed right now. So there's usually ferrets on screen instead of the empty room like now.
If you want ferrets playing 24/7, watch some of the older streams and go to the times they're playing.
I watch the night stream too, but it's just not as vibrant and eye catching as glancing over and seeing funny war dancing
Thor Said "no we're taking him"
and also wants to call him TOEFU
Shaye wants to call him Meeko
Hes so cuuuute
he really is
name him mofu :v
LOL
maybe Thor started this 
oh god
oh my god shaye
cheese and snails: https://x.com/RiverMakes/status/1460695401133002752
Is there a plan for an outside area for the noodles in the new construction?
they have cyottes and bobcats and mt. lions up where they are
and hawks
so outside is a no go for sure
Yeah the birds of prey are the big worry, dont want them swooping in and yoinking ferrets
Fixupx.com fixes embeds btw
It doesnt open in the app anymore unfortunately so its a little meh
Hmm fixvx or vxtwitter maybe
Big yawnnnn
Yaaawwnnnndonylookatme
do the ferrets of the ad rev shelter have a bluesky?
Not yet as far as I know
well for some reason there is a account called ferretposting that dosent seem to be by the shelter
It's not like it's a unique name or reserved to Shaye lol
Yeah, they probably will when they get around to it. Thor did as much with his personal account
Gotta say I really like this domain-based verification system. Much better than what Mastodon did
indeed
honestly i want to be on mastadon just cause its another place to hang with some like minded pepole but the domain group im tryna join under hasnt processed my request to join yet (or they denied me and i didnt get a notification)
mastadon didnt appeal to me as much
anyways, the wigglers will be posted to bluesky whenever the domain account is made
the ferretsoftware account does exist, but hasnt been changed to domain yet
i am using my own domain aswell now. i like the system
id get my own domain, but im so bad at money management atm that i dont want to deal with it
i understand that π
Meeko from the Petco π
Where is kahluia atm if Odin is in the top middle jail cell now
gen pop
Do you guys remember when Dook & Dook contacted Thor on stream about Beans?
I'm trying to find the clip where they timed it hilariously well
ferrets
unknown is pugsley btw
with gen pop or in jail? last time i thought he was in gen pop, but shaye keep him in the transportbox / mobile jail.
he has been in gen pop for a while now
Thank you!!!!!
woof_reed and I thought it would fit in the wiki for lore about Beans - that he is represented by Dook & Dook
let's hope he behaves. Even when nothing happens (he's basically just beef number 2), Chat will freak out anyway if he starts humping.
#FreeBeans
he can't be contained
Pugsley was a dim ferret that was kept by the owner(s) to take care of though sadly passed as well, this was not the other ferret that needed the incubator.
ahhhh
damn was a sad day yesterday π¦
π
It was yes
@undone cape I'm over here like, this misinformation that chat is feeding Thor is wild
The ? mugshot is Kyo @lament shale
I see
sorry, me when I spread misinfo π
I thought about pinging aqua first while they were typing cause I knew they were about to correct me but it felt wrong. I'd rather get corrected.
It's a lot of info to process about the ferrets, even I have issues to keep up at times. 
and we have the correct mugshot for Kyo now, its being added as we speak
we finally have them all
so you can finally see all the ferrets on the wiki, with mugshots \o/
well ... in a bit
like ... now π Thank you @knotty cradle
Someone gave me the final piece of the puzzle, had to make it fit just right
it was missing from the Kyo page, that has also been resolved
It honestly doesn't make sense to me... Shaye doesn't have y'all create a page for every animal that might pass at the office. incubator ferret was just an extension of work in my mind
Chat can ask all they want, but it's still up to the people who run the place to decide it.
Well chat rubbed the wrong two braincells together. Crazy considering there are only 7 to pick from
indeed, hence why we asked Shaye, and Shaye has spoken π
Knowing which two braincells to rub together in a way that is productive requires 8 braincells
I was adamant, even mods were mentioning it. I said it is entirely up to Shaye.
indeed, i agree
I wonder how many of those people are actual ferret watches... or just main channel viweers
It was a lot of names I don't see in ferretsoftware
They just don't understand the fertsoft ways
Im aware, but people were spreading SO much misinformation
There were other ferrets before this one that didn't make it long enough to be known.
Exactly
DIM baby who came to Shayes office. Dim teen who went to a sister office (Pugsly). Incubator oldie. And Petco infected toe baby.
Toefu ?
grandtoeson?
We also don't make page for ferrets that are still in quarantine... right?
We did sort of do that for the nut gang, although it was late in the process
every ferret that is officially part of snails house should be in that list.
The recently one wasn't part of snails house, so it's not in the list. Rose was surrendered and part of snails house, unfortunately to late.
@fickle basalt do you use a different name on Twitch?
Yeah, I used this one at the start but managed to block myself by switching and now it's taken :P
This one is weird because Shaye is technically just caring for him for Petco.
I should check if it's released again actually
yep, so we should wait 2 weeks (that was shaye said) until they figure out what will happen to him.
Toe baby doesn't have a page and hasn't been seen on stream though, right?
was on thor stream earlier, but not ferrets because of quarantine.
Ah okay
The nut gang was purchased, there were no strings attached
Wait, Thor showed toe baby on stream @toxic cloak ?
Nope, still taken, I'll do it the other way instead.
wasn't that the ferret on stream earlier, where thor said to shaye, chat decided to name him tofu?
Clips?!
we do make pages for ferrets in QT
NO ONE TOLD ME?!
they get a page when they are official in the rescue
We do, but there are strings attached to Toe Baby*tm
Oh hey Kupoprime! 
π
would keep that. Shaye updated the mugshots when they were released from quarantine ( or later).

the nuts were added as soon as they were officially in the rescue
before they exited QT
They were added right before Hazel got her official name I believe
but they have to be IN the rescue when they get added. and they have to be surrendered
yeah
Didn't the nuts show up basically as the wiki project began too though?
that too
Again, there are still uncertain things about the toe baby. This is why we don't have a page. As well as name.
there he is. Don't know when it was ^^
Gob bless @knotty jungle for clipping it
ada ftw
i tried to clip it on youtube, but the website decided to poop itself and now refuse to load the stream at all xD
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2280667706?t=01h23m32s here it starts
piratesoftware went live on Twitch. Catch up on their Software and Game Development VOD now.
But fwiw - I am keeping track of the info in my spreadsheet for when we do add him to the wiki (more than likely) @zinc moth
don't remember the nuts.
But shaye said they don't know if they keep him (i guess they will, but we will see). The wiggler get meds for 2 weeks (if it's not working additional surgery to remove it) and than we see what will happen.
^
keeping track of the info could be handy
will make the wiki page easier should it be needed
yep. Still need to make a account and add a bunch of stuff like arrival of nacho/salsa.
Yup yup. I also keep the clip of him on stream, so if/when he's officially adopted we have that to add immediately
I haven't heard, do we know if the YT stream also gets ads/ad rev for the rescue or is it just a secondary stream?
I would imagine it's just as monetized as his main stream, but unsure.
im sure thor will sort it out properly
I didn't know you could have two live streams on the same YT account, kinda neat
Thor learnt that you can by seeing the lofi girl channel running atleast 2 (could have been more)
I only asked because I've no need for having it up in 2 tabs if its not doing anything on YT. I'd just run the Twitch one I already do
oh i knew that allready from the goodwood festival of speed channel
regarding the ads on the yt stream, ive not watched it so i cant tell you if there are ads on it but as his main stream has ads and its run from the same account i would say that it should get ads.
I would expect it to get ads, but I have YT Premium so I'd never know
Same

I agree with Shaye, it's a much better name than TOEFU lol. Also, he's so darn cute!
they already have so many spices and foods/beverages.
Honestly, I think chat was adamant partly because of the misconception that it was an emergency RESCUE, rather than a ferret Shaye took home from work to look after that had a loving family hoping for the best...
i'm pretty shure that's the source of the beans emote.
I think Tofu is a cool name for him. But that will ultimately be up to Shaye n Thor what they call himβ¦if they decide to get him
Peanut is the most clumbsy ferret ive ever seen π
she so is
at least it was an empty soup bowl. Beans managed to do a itchy-scratch caused nose dive drop into the water bowl π
I know my brain isn't working well tonight.
Is this Badger? https://x.com/PirateSoftware/status/1847740555536847341
henry is my favorite drill
Youtube chat just saw henry toob this is their reaction!!!
4 new possibly temp old Seniors intake to the rescue today
@knotty cradle
there ya go
so are there new noodles?
as the red coloured message states, they could be temporary, or they could be perm.
the only other 'new' ferret is the petco baby that they are currently looking after that may end up being part of the rescue
yeah ive seen that clip. Lol
Some of the stuff im considering for myself if i go get myself ferrets tube wise:
https://int.ferplast.com/collections/small-pet-toys-and-travel-accessories/products/tube-fpi-4844
https://int.ferplast.com/collections/small-pet-toys-and-travel-accessories/products/tube-fpi-4840
https://int.ferplast.com/collections/small-pet-toys-and-travel-accessories/products/fpi-4848
Designed to ensure the fun of ferrets and chinchillas, this plastic tube can be combined with other rodent tubes to build funny play paths with ever-new shapes. Thanks to the metal chains, the tunnel can be fixed to the cage in a practical and easy way, while the openings it is equipped with allow internal ventilation.
this is just some of the things i have been considering since i like the idea of hard tubes
Such a cute eepy ferrets snuggling!
one of the brutes trampled on the second while I was taking pictures and woke him up
Ferrets are just always quite cute, thats really all i think when i see them. Also im curious what the tubes are that get used at the shelter?
Also the tubes im looking at for myself are ferret spec (i just confirmed with a cm to inches conversion)
That gif always makes me want to pet a ferret real bad.
Is there any plan to add uses for channel points other than The Point Hole? π
For FerretSoftware? Nah.
how many does everyone have?
almost halfway to you
Dang, I'd love to be able to prompt fun ferret facts to pop up or something like that
Isnβt there the thing about changing cameras with points once theyβre in the new place ?
i have 6390 dooks
oh no wait i am more than halfway to bunnie
That's a lotta dooks
being subbed and lurking lots helps!
Honestly, i think if i get a ferret imma look into adopts and having a local vet first
But, honestly im not that sure my room is the safest thing to host ferrets atm
you need mroe than one as well, so if you don't have the space for a bare minimum of 2, and you can't ferret proof the space. please do not
Didn't someone say you should have at least 3 for socialization?
two would be bare minimum, point being is they should never be alone
three is good though
yeah thats exactly what im thinking. my space ad is changes too much and my computer i dont want them getting into and chewing on power cords, so im absolutely not atm
2 minimum, 3 or more is ideal
if im getting ferrets, im making the spaces of my house ferret safe and give them multiple dens acessible by tubes and have a way to clean out the tubes easily. Sanitary infastructure allows happy ferrets!
I'm now imagining a fire hose stuck to the end of the tubes for cleaning.
im gonna build a tiny cleaning robot with a durable hose
watching ferrets and listening to the rain should be the new definition of peaceful in the dictionary.
I wish we got more rain here, so relaxing
My friends ferret Oscar
awwww

warms
Awww I love seeing Henry socialising with the other ferrets. I know they won't all accept him as he's special so moments like this are precious 
noodles are out \o/
I love it when it's playtime before I go to work
I bought a bag of these treats for the rescue a while ago. Glad to see they love them so much 
Ferret clip of the day
https://www.twitch.tv/ferretsoftware/clip/SpineyExquisiteDuckPeteZarollTie-WU_dcNZ4cDsxf2hs
Can i use the ferret ticket system to ask questions to the ferret team about ferret health? I have two boys who are getting old and want to make sure i know what to keep an eye out for.
'You can use this system to report issues on the ferret stream, ask advice, or surrender a ferret'
it says you can in the message
If you have problems telling banana and loki apart. Loki is the one with this V-Shape on her back and also the oldie that commonly is stashing toys.
Thank you π
i feel mocha in this clip soo bad π
i consider my computer and under desk area really not that safe for ferrets. its really the mqjor thing keeping me from setting up ferret area stuff and the other one is a ice machine.
it differs alot
sometimes it starts around now
sometimes it starts 12 hours from now
Any BlueSky users here? If so, I recommend this account for many joyful smiles 
i see another ferret yoinked by the big ferret yarrNote.
Ahh thank you for the reminder @woeful moat !
There's one for raccoons and red pandas too
yep, they are on bluesky as well as Ferret Every Hour.
https://x.com/PirateSoftware/status/1287705942780329984 (Loki and Snails)
Imagine if yugioh used mtg oracle wording
Yrsa enjoying water play time! One of my two ferrets!
I don't have Nitro or I'd be posting the bongo emote π
if you are considering keeping stream running while your asleep, its probably a good idea to consider the energy costs. im honestly gonna just shut down my computer after im done tonight because for me, im trying to reduce my footprint carbon wise and leaving the stream running sadly dosent help with that
Your computer consumes barely any power at all
mine uses two power supplies, though because my higher wattage one i dont trust. And, i usually leave my computer monitor (Yet another, seperate power supply) on with my computer.

basically, actually turning it off when im not there helps quite alot more on my carbon footprint, but once i have this power supply fiasco sorted out into a proper fix, then maybe what you said along with turning off my computer display may be true
in my current setup, not really
I mean, our electrics bill went up quite a bit when we got my new pc 2 years ago...
I turn my pc off at night, but have ferrets on on the tablet when we sleep, cause the tablet is on to play youtube for us all night anyways otherwise neither me nor my partner sleeps lol
...turning off your PC at night? YOU CAN DO THAT!? 
I probably will find some device thats more efficent for night ferrets but for now, i dont really have a device that can do that
i know, shocker but its the truth, sadly
@wise heron This is my rig, the Line 6 Pod Go has been replaced by a Behringer QX2222USB on my synth desk (which also has the Line 6 plugged into it)
that is definatly more involved than most i really only intend to take mine as far as a standalone mic and 5.1 surround maybe 7.1 at some point that almost takes a dedicated room
same. but tablet runs 24/7. Cost about 50bucks per year in electrical bill in Germany. Also it's only running at 480p. Lower bandwidth used and still enough quality to lurk on the wigglers.
my speakers are powered by a car amplifier that plugs into my pc power supply xd
thats rather unique
No wonder you don't trust your power supply 
haven't seen/heard this in a while ^^
its not that reason lmao, its because i heard some weird ass arcing at one point plugging in a usb device
that spooked the shit out of me
that sounds fun
I've gone the whole surround sound route, now I'm 2 channel for life.... I'll be back to 2.2 once I'm back in a house, my subs would get me kicked out of this apartment so quick
were they front case usb or mobo usb
i dont have front case usb, only rear usb
i can only play my music when no one is home my sub shakes the cupboards and windows upstairs from the basement
so the rear mobo usb arced then. thats a little wierd
i like the francenstein aspect to it
I've got a pair of JL Audio 10w6v3 subs that I run off a Crown XLS1002 rack amp
oh yeah i have the card that works on the one psu i do trust, buuuut sadly my os dosent like booting it :/
so im stuck like this for now
my main speakers are a pair of jbl control 25βs. Subs eventually.
if i do get rack amps like i plan, they will be going on a switchable PDU
ya that would get you kicked out fast
π¬ commercial audio speakers
love my used commercial gear. they sound absolutely great
They have their place, they aren't good for critical listening though
it ended up being the 12 volt rail dead in the psu of the case computer but for testing the case psu is powering the gpu on the xbox and the board in the case while the other psu is powering the board on the xbox it was a fun mystery to solve
i mean, for what they are they work for what im after. Hell theres even a version intended for studios of the exact same computer!
interesting
Thats what I'm saying - if you just wanna get loud, they'll get loud... but I need a flat response that is highly detailed and my Focal Alpha 80s are wonderful for mixing and critical listening π
you audio heads will allways have my respeact for being able to keep it all strait
they get nice and loud and honestly they sound pretty balanced to my not super critical ears. Hell i have seen theese speakers in literally disney halls for rides. Also the jbl control 25 is the studio version.
well actually still a loudspeaker but its a good one nonetheless
I have seen others reccomend this exact speaker for pepole to snag
honestly just need a good subwoofer to pair with them
Sweetwater lists the Control 25s as commercial audio / installed sound. Typically you don't see the grills on studio monitors, though it looks like JBL's 7 series has the same style metal grills 
Honestly it was probably the way jbl felt made it seem less dorky to brand their product
plus the mounts are HEFTY in a good way
No, the problem with grills of any type is that they could color the sound. You want the sound to be as true to the source as possible in the studio
ahhhhh
yeah i get that, but still it might have been that jbl was somehow making them not colour the sound too bad
If one of these Focals fails I'm going to end up spending more than twice what these cost me for replacements... They came out with a gen2 version that I don't consider an improvement
heres a short recording i made with them in the configuration i normally use.
(iphone 15 microphones used)
Yeah, that doesn't really work :p
You don't need to convince me you like them for speakers though π
Hey, what works for each person is what works
im sure ill be even happier when i have subwoofers
tru that and everyones ears are different
I should probably mention - I went to school for audio engineering and was actually trained in regards to critical listening.
its probably why your so deep into grilless speakers cause you most likely perfer the more unbiased sound
TBH it makes me kinda hyper critical of any speakers I might listen to music on
both a blessing and i curse i would take it
Oh no... Sweetwater carries Barefoot Sound now... I've wanted a set of their MicroMain26 monitors since I first saw them... it was love at first sight.
honestly going from the little usb puck i have to use to my speakers is a massive jump for me (the puck is needed for voice/video calls)
only $13,000 FML
I wonder if they would increase my credit limit. I've been a good boy π₯Ί
Been paying it off on time?
who knows banks and credit cards are finiky
Yeah, my Sweetwater care isn't carrying a balance and I've always paid purchases off early for their 0% financing
Hell im glad i have only a debit card and savings account cause credit cards would be dangerous as id buy all the audio gear i want then have hell paying it off
Yeah, exactly what im doing now. I have a chequing card and savings. Thats it, nothing more
Credit is not a culturally prevalent thing where I live so it was always wild to me just how "standard" they are to americans
I want the thing, and I WANT IT NOW! 
Like if you want to buy something the common sense understanding is that you wait to save up, not... buy money. The idea of buying money is weird.
there just another way someone found to make money off of others
Credit cards i totally need to stay away from cause im a impulsive little shit
I blame the schools. Got rid of home eq classes and no one can balance a checkbook or pay their taxes now
if you want a wierd statistic if you have no debt from things like credit cards everything payed off and no assets with 10 dollars in youer bank acount you have more money than 95% of americans
Hell i am almost to the point in my life where i start needing to maintain a balance of 3k in my chequing accoutn
i fuckin hate the feeling of fees coming up into my life
same
But, banks be like "you want your fees gone? Maintain this minimum balance that we know the impulsive pepole in your life will have hell with!"
i hate spending money so it slowly acumalets but i dont like that ither since stagnant money depreciates in vallue
make deposits of at least some kind
at least having a savings account with some form of interest makes it feel like saved money is doing something
i only work during the summer :/
i intend to work somthing out but im still working on since im still rather young
that i do have
at my bank the interest rate is 0.01% for my savings account at all balance levels
that seems rather low
While it's true that money loses value over time, it's still best to have a safety pillow. I recently had to spend like $3k on a surgery. If I didn't have anything saved I would be stuck being in ridiculous amounts of pain, so.
1 free debit transaction is included, unlimited transfers between my accounts.
daily compound, though and it adds up
payout is monthly
ya i could never run without a safty pillow life is just to risky other wise
fair
my savings account is intended as my saftey and spending pillow, cause my main account will earn interest too once i hit the minimum balance requirement
so, the more i keep both in check, the more i have
im mostly waiting to be old enough to have full control over my acounts and such
Lets avoid talking about age π
i dont intend to bring it up
Yeah, but point is life gets rough when your getting older
its just the main problem of having to wait for not haviong a guardian signature on everything
hell im just glad im in charge of my bank accounts. and most of the things i know i can control responsibly
that is a good thing and it shouldnt bee to much longer till i can do the same
annyways ive got things i need to go get done before its dark so im just going to lurk in the stream and ill see you all chat later
kk
Ferret clip of the day
https://www.twitch.tv/ferretsoftware/clip/HardTenderEggnogDxCat-21vZXDSKbDybWwMg
Well, it succumbed to comfort.
as usual
Ferrets are liquid
this is how they should take all the profile photos, just face exposed in a jacket
.
climbing chili: https://bsky.app/profile/piratesoftware.live/post/3l74r4nytw22f
I cannot parse this image lol, what am I even looking at, it looks like half a ferret and half a rabbit
Oh that's a HAND
I see

btw, this beefy chonker weights about 1840grams thats almost mochas all time max of 1850grams: https://x.com/RiverMakes/status/1751526459746009306
But instead of Mocha it's muscle and not fat π
honestly really enjoying that the livestream is also on youtube, since that is what I mainly use and so i now actually have the stream up. i also have premium so I'm wondering how the revenue generated from my watch hours compares to watching on twitch with no turbo or subscriptio.
don't know. Just use the one you are more comfortable with.
Premium or Turbo still counts you same like watching actual ads.
I must say on bluesky i can atleast see more than just nothing
That's some fine ad copy
kaiju noises
Godzilla X Chili
ok thats a great edit
Now Thor needs to get some plush cityscape pieces for the ferrets to climb on, so Chilli can live out his King Kong fantasy.
Unhand me, I must be slug
Almost 2 kilos of sneaky Mocha.
Next Shaye might have to make mocha go on a strict diet like Garfield.
that edit is great ^_^
oh just for update sake- Shaye said Mouse is fine
no update on loki though. Shaye ws getting food, water and litter changed before going to bed so chat interaction was minimal
our queen is safe, this is always good
Mouse attention seeking i see
yup
I told shaye they need to hand mouse to thor and tell him to "give your daughter attention"
lol
Just far enough off screen but loud enough and his chats would go insane
mouse definately needs more Thor time
well its his day off, so she might get it today
^
he could do take your daughter to work day
and have mouse with him next stream
he wouldnt get anything done tho
Ah, we are so alike. 
"His antenna he uses to communicate with his family on his home planet" https://x.com/RiverMakes/status/1751848018528334037
he is down to a normal weight, same with beans. Both are <1.5kg : https://x.com/RiverMakes/status/1844637926036209709
i hardly ever interact with the server, i'm more active in the stream chats, so can i also post any pictures of ferrets i've seen/found? or is this just for the business?
its mainly for ferret software, but noone will complain about cute ferret pics ^_^
Maybe not other streamers, but cute ferrets are always nice!
one of the first things I did when this chat was created was post pictures of my ferrets, lol
Lol got a pen tattoo from a clasmate today, faded too fast :/
i just had a couple pictures of ferrets i saw yesterday :)
Whats up with loki?
low blood sugar a few days ago, Shaye was taking in to check for insulunoma
Shaye didn't give an update last night in the race to get everyone fed, watered, litter changed and meds out before shaye crashed.
Aw poor baby, i hope shes ok
I mean with her age it's just one of those things that its likely to crop up
it's why shaye and thor test their blood sugar levels
Look at these two adorable oldies
Told the awesome lady who owns the local pet shop about the Ferret Stream and she loved it, so I think it got at least a few views from her last month, and maybe some of the staff.
thats wonderful! more views for the noodles.
Yrsa and Astrid π
Who dis? I've been trying to figure it out for a while now, but I can't think of an oldie with those colours π Someone, help my poor brain lol. Edit: It was Beans after all π
His coat has changed a bit. This is why ferrets are hard to recognize quite often
Pickle staring at chat

Henry slipper moment
Hello everyone, I know this is off-topic, and I apologize for posting here (couldnt find an off topic channel). I havenβt officially introduced myself yet, but from what Iβve seen, it felt like this was one of the places where I could ask for help.
There's a 3 month old puppy in an animal shelter in Houston, Texas, who is about to be euthanized. He doesnβt need a forever home, just a foster for now. If anyone knows someone in that area who might be willing to help, please let me know (im from Europe, so im really not sure how else i could help) .
Honestly all of the dogs there deserve a second chance but feels like its to soon for this fella.
Again, I apologize for posting this here, wont become a regular thing
Thank you so much for reading
You might want to try in #pets-and-plants π€
Problem is. Pet and plants used to be part of "Life Skills". A while ago they moved it into the pit, because it won't fit in life skills or any other category.
No new member will know we have this channel, because to get access you have to select the "enjoy dank memes" role and know it's part of it.
Ah, make sense...
Thank you very much!!!
gees this is why some animal shelters suck. I dont like shelters that unalive these kind of animals π
Oh yes Shaye is posting on Blue-sky now and it's Henry 
Onion lore π€£
That's our Onion
onion lo-jack
she would escape from that aswell
and her escaping from her previous home ... wouldnt surprise me at all
they do make trackers
but not micro chip style
they usually attach em to wild life with either collars they can't get off or if they don't have fur, marine safe glue
I just imagine poor onion with one of those huge goofy collars on and all the other ferrets looking at her like shes crazy and she just goes
i had one of those gps things for my dog when he was younger. they were big
not suited for ferrets
way too heavy
yeah you can get gps for cats these days that aren't too big, not seen any that would be good for ferrets yet
for sure nothing liquid noodl safe at the current moment
Eventually onion will chopper her way out.
if only gps implants existed⦠then there would be something tiny enough to keep track of onion
It was more that I thought it was Beans, but then thought "but the oldies are out, all the babies are still caged... so who is this?" lol, then Shaye confirmed it WAS Beans π
For Onion, what about a little ferret harness and glue the tracker on that? π That Onion lore is crazy though!
@knotty cradle
Eepy baby in the banana (it looks like a banana to me
@knotty cradle you can see it bottom left in the back a few hours ago on the livestream
In the bed? or circle it cause I'm blind
Do you know your right from your left?
i need more caffine
xD
I was like WHERE ON THE LEFT. I AM ZOOMED IN WTF
And then you circle a spot on the far right
.....
In my defence, ive had 1 cup of coffee and was awoken at 7am to a tow truck comming to get my dumb car
Its fine, my brain is just derped still
Im surprised we never saw it before
like it was there for a solid 10ish hours at a guess
It was well hidden. Good job Hazel
If anyone wants to play nightcam bingo : https://bingobaker.com/#671aed480f54bd11
we should have that pinned
we'd need a <@&362005405901127710> for that
Did you make the bingo card?
Poulshu sure did!
uhoh
I'll DM it to you Mirror, you might be able to answer it.
sure!
If she splashes long enough, eventually some will get in her mouth.
ghost is so pretty
hadnt seen the pics posted here, hence why i thought i should fix that
Ghost was surprisingly chill with Torch as well
Very true
they went super long last time shaye had them out together though before they got angry
so one day maybe
maybe they can help eachother a little bit
I think that's shayes ultimate goal with those two
and it would be awesome if it'll work
Congrats to the ferrets mother getting hitched too 
i think mocha wants to play dirt rally 2.0
Ferret clip of the day
https://www.twitch.tv/ferretsoftware/clip/ScrumptiousTacitEggChefFrank-KkbNibKg0JxUy6Sz
While ultimately I compiled the cards, it was composed from community thoughts. I'll fix it.
I'm not sure if the clip feed or the chat is delayed.
I can see Shaye phone is on the shelf not typing but he's actually moving in the video feed.
There's always a delay between video and chat
Onion sure pulled some solid snake move there.
Can tell Shaye wants to airtag it sooner.
The chat lags behind noticeably in clips.
Lmaoooo How long was she under there prior to that?!
I'm not even sure
@knotty cradle
Like a whole minute? Shaye was looking for her everywhere, flipping stuff and digging in the toys
Then onions like "hey whatcha looking for?"
I went a bit back in the vod from when the clip was taken. This is where it starts https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2283722573?t=11h31m00s. It's funny to see that Onion hides just before Shaye enters the room.
ferretsoftware went live on Twitch. Catch up on their Animals, Aquariums, and Zoos VOD now.
She'll try to outsmart Shaye and attempt escape someday.
@narrow token She has many escape attempts already. Don't know if you saw this already. But she almost truly escaped once. The message I reacted to has the story in it.
YeahοΌI've seen it but she didn't get past beyond the door.
Yet.
Iβve looked at the wiki page and thereβs something I donβt quite get; whatβs the Valhalla date mean?
I saw that a few ferrets had one
The ferrets with a Valhalla date have died. Either from old age, illness or both.
but why? She won't survive outside π despite all the coyotes and other wild animals.
ferrets look cute, always
Ferret stack! 
Just thought I'd share this, ferret food in Cyberpunk 2077 
I don't want Onion to escape to outside. I don't even want her to escape to the rest of the house. I just wanted to point out the story from Shaye that she came really close to escaping. And that the escaping tendacies of Onion are possibly why they have her now.
I like blue sky. Dont need an account to see pictures π
the 'but why' was to onion π why did she want to escape ^^
Fun?
Most animals dont realize the peril of outside, even if theyve been out there before from escaping or otherwise
Onion likes the act of escaping as a challenging game,what comes after isnt a thought a ferret would have
I have a clip of her climbing over the fence and being put back by shaye 3 times in a row but i cant post it atm
Playtime now! β€οΈ
like me frfr
Which group is out now?
OH MY GOODNESS! I need this photo for my desktop background, please!

@everyone
I adopted two new noodle boys yesterday, noticed once I got them home that one has a broken canine, heβs eating soup and kibbles but I worry that I should be doing more until his vet visit.
Both boys are skinny because their previous owner said theyβre βtoo chunkyβ and needed βa dietβ. I can feel all their ribs and spine π’
We we chatting about how the brain can remap pathways. Here is how they did it to computers in the old days. The wires were wrapped around round posts.
Went to a petstore today and got to play with babies
As close as it gets for me lmao. That lil dark one was so sweet
Must not have been a Petco or Petsmart they don't allow such fun
Has it been said if watching on YouTube or Twitch provides more support for the ferrets?
Yeah, it's not a franchise place
They also had a store tortoise but he wasn't out today
iiirc twitch, but either is great. both places give ad rev
watch on whichever platform fits your viewing experience needs
I may just have to make a rotating ferret desktop background, that just changes picture like every minute or so xD Is that even possible? π
Yes, that's possible. You can setup a folder which the windows background picks random images from. I use that as well
Smort boi
I am 100% looking into this haha, time to find some cute pictures of ALL THE FERRETS! π
Trot into play with this cute plushie goat in hand. These soft plushies are made from high-quality recycled materials and designed to endure all-day play. With this easy-to-transport plush goat stuffed animal in tow, fun follows you everywhere. Welcome to the world of Wild Onez, our unique collec...
Will have to have Shaye look at it to see if it's ferret safe
I know some stuffed animals meant for kids are ok but others aren't
and thigns for cats and dogs are generally safe
Yeah, def don't want to get them something that could be a danger
awww

What type of camera do you guys use
Unless it's been upgraded recently the main playtime cam is a Lumix bgh1
Not sure about the night time cam
I wanted to know the night cam 
Hey guys, I wrote a poem inspired by Onion's recent escape attempt

Awww wow you put in on the Wiki! I feel honoured, thank you βΊοΈ
How is that odd? She is looking for the perfect kibble and even checking the floor
I do that all the time 
I checked on my noodles this morning and saw this π
"battery low please give food to recharge"
that took me a moment to discern what limb was what
what a pretzel
Right I was just laughing so hard when I took the pick!

Idk what my noodles are doing but found my girl in this position just now lmao!
eepy pretzels!
Itβs so hard not to scratch their bellies when they sleep like this!!
Oh I bet, I'd also have a hard time resisting
such a sirens call
Melting ferrets
Could be 'dead sleeping' too.
Beans pull that off during April and scare Thor during his intermission break.
Its basicly a very deep sleep for them
Ferret dead sleep
If youβve never experienced this, it is best to know beforehand. There may come a time when you go to feed or play with your darling ferret, and at first they seem asleep. A warm, floppy, deep sleep. Then after picking her up, prodding her, rubbing her belly and more, she does not respond at all. Your heart pounds because at some deep level, you know that was enough to wake any person up. But ferrets arenβt people, and they have the ability to terrify their owners by going into ferret dead sleep.
There is nothing wrong with this, and it indicates nothing more than they were tired and you did a great job of providing them a place where they felt very safe to sleep.

This is my guy's quirky eating habit!!
Nom
Is he part otter?
Oh maybe LOL
Yepp, that is an otter!
If luna and odin are gonna stay in mid-jail shaye should add a ramp... I saw odin try to climb and fail last night poor old sheep
He was having some real issues getting up to the shelf ye
He is olde!! Its not his fault! 
I can relate
luna as well
but where? there isn't much space. Let's hope he get his lupron soon and calm down.
hes pouting
Cowboy was very upset
Was very funny to watch
does anyone have a clip of him pouting?
Toob Master Henry: https://www.twitch.tv/ferretsoftware/clip/PuzzledPhilanthropicPlumCclamChamp-84vQ1XidkCrqPO8M
hes got a lil shiiirt
He looked so cute. Unfortunately he didn't like it
do ferrets act like cats with vests/costumes? where they just kinda go limp? or is it more violent? 
awww babyyyy
Watch FerretSoftware's clip titled "Pickle and Beans wilding after visiting the wet world!"
Watch FerretSoftware's clip titled "Grandson checking out paper bin and Beans!"
@knotty jungle
don't forget shaye said he isn't bothered, if you look, you should pay crack tax xD
Fun fact, it tries constantly to auto correct ferrets to Ferrari
Gojira vs rhodan
Which one is this?~ they're my favourite
That looks like Demeter
Yeah the one coming from the bottom left at the start, I think that's them
yeah, some gets harder to spot because due to seasonal change they get way darker fur.

@undone cape, do you have some clips of spud?
Sadly he's hard to recognize so hard to clip that way. I might have some but i'm currently in the process of alphabetically going through the list and adding cool clips I have of the ferrets to their wiki pages. I'm at P now so haven't reached his page yet π
okay. On pictures he is more easily to spot because of his nose π
Just posted a photo
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/10/241028131451.htm
ferrets beware! Yikes!
May need to investigate adding a negative pressure room to your quarantine set up.
Well this was ferrets used in testing, not wild. I imagine the new building will help
they also don't live in/near texas where the outbreak is.
Shaye and Thor do take nessiary precautions though to keep the wigglers safe.
Ferret pets just released in Palia (called Ferris, but we all know what they are!)
The little backpack
After seeing the ferrets in the rice and paper box, can we nominate the ferrets for best battle royale streamer?
@tall path i rewatched playtime of genpop and followed spud as best i could. I didn't see him fight rough with anyone (like with floof tail, lots of deathrolls, etc.). At least not on screen, he walked out of sight at top a few times for several minutes but returned without floof tail.
He got into two fights.
Here he tussles with ? but don't take a bite to his neck/head, so unlikely: https://www.twitch.tv/ferretsoftware/clip/QuaintSwissRavenPartyTime-pmJh1xF2vPQmuGvI
The other one was a few minutes before that. He wants to put a donut into the Paper box and Peanut bite him a couple of times, one looks a bit rough and could fit to that bald spot you found (posted this clip a few messages above): #ferretchat message
The adventures of Peanut?
Omg. Toe baby was so curious about Beans π
Was peanut a meanut again?
Peanut with a bat'leth, scary thought.
Ferret clip of the day
https://www.twitch.tv/ferretsoftware/clip/CorrectBlindingKiwiDoritosChip-M8zlFLCsGKNK8s7f
currently working on a project for the ferrers, does anyone have any fan art for the ferrets I can use?
also also
probablt gonna be a no but does anyone have any graphics, images or anything of the ferrets running on the side like the above
These were drawn by Shaye for the stream. They are not publicly usable.
like @coral nymph said, made by Shaye couple of years ago: https://x.com/RiverMakes/status/1594693738315808768
Ah, interesting, they have a public upload of this. You should probably ask him or Thor for permission for using these though
just animation. You need to use each animation per color as sprite-sheet: https://docs.streamavatars.com/stream-avatars/content-creating/creating-avatars
if shaye has time, a ferret with wizard hat would be nice to have ^^
can i contact Thor through just a dm or any other way
or Shaye, either which will work
I dunno what the best way would be. You could reach out on stream of course.
I don't think Thor does DMs anymore, and I have no idea about Shaye
thank you so much for the guidance β€οΈ
Might be a good idea to open a mod-ticket?
You could put in a #ferret-ticket and ask that way?
did think of doing that
No, that's for actual ferret-related questions >.<
but wasnt sure if that was allowed
I mean it kinda is tho, its abt their rescue lol
mod-ticket is another alternative tho, Id say
perfect, thank you!!
Ferret Jumpscare
Credits to FuffyFerrets for the picture. The ferret is not mine.
just out of curiosity, will you use them on another stream, or make some new stuff for the ferret stream?
why do they always look so cute
They just are for some reason. Can you believe theyβre supposed to be predators?
just reminds me of when cats do bunny kicks. Its meant to be deadly, but man is it cute 
yeah, we have a bunch of stone martens living in our roof. During summer the new babies decide to fight in the middle of the night, everyday, right in front of the window of my office.
make stuff for the stream.
sort of a contribution :))
first i need to get them out of the roof xD
You might want to discuss this first with Thor/Shaye before you start building anything. Streamers tend to be very picky on what they use as well as about the possible licenses connected to the used assets. It has happened before that suddenly a streamer isn't allowed to use certain assets anymore due to a conflict.
this is mostly a personal project but im super open for the pirate software company to use what i've created. The licenses shouldnt be an issue at all
most of the assets rn are pictures of the ferrets i got from the ferret software site
lol
Fan art, most likely ok. Actually using their assets to create something might be a slippery slope. Best just get in contact with them.
don't know how big they are, because you wrote pictures from the site (so i suggest something related to irl pictures?). The doc recommend frame size <100x100 because they are more efficient. Least thing you want is to crash the avatars everytime thor raid the stream with thousands of users. ^^
but like said, create a ticket and ask shaye about that. You will figure something out ^^
Wizard hat might already be happening
Amongst other fun things
The PALE MISCHIEF accessory on Diablo 4 is back if you play Rogue Class. Take a peak π«£ js
Wrong channel?
Fert avatars should have tiny ties and suitcases
Anyway i need to sleep but if anyone catches shaye after work tell them the babies have been scratching their ears a lot this week. Might be time to check for mites again
Cowboy hat, cause Cowboy 
Also already probably a thing that might be happening
Huzzah! 
So have you been suggesting things to put in the shop to Shaye then? I still kinda want a waardie ferret to choose for the bottom haha :3
I think this was one of the old clip of ferret stolen the toy
she's such a worm
I love how good Shaye is with all the ferrets. Mocha and Henry are my favourites. It's great to see either one of them playing considering they have had to overcome so much physically
So, finally made an account and added a bunch of minor stuff to the wiki, like arrival of nacho/salsa and a clip of Spud π
this pickle is me every morning until i had my coffee: https://x.com/RiverMakes/status/1690286890665361408
I'm more like that classic Mocha picture
oh, totally forgot about the darkmode inverse color glitch. Inverted Snails says hello:
No, the one from his snapshot. Where he looks like he just woke up.
oooh. There you go: https://x.com/RiverMakes/status/1751847449499734300
Mocha, fierce and bold,
from shadows to strength he rose,
small paws, mighty heart.
I'm still working on fixing the bug. 
For now... enjoy the jump scares I guess. 
Wait, that is an Image. That shouldn't invert. 
Are images for you always inverted?
just when you switch to darkmode. Seems like the pictures load with inverted colors and after loading being reinverted to normal. It's like that only for a short amount of time, based on size of the picture. Small Pictures are loading so fast they don't have this issue. It's more likely happen with bigger ones.
@torpid nexus discovered that glitch and it was reported in streamchat: Steets and the Mods already know about that: #streamchat message
That's the one!
As previously stated, a bug ticket would have been appreciated, and Iβm also involved in fixing those bugs. As soon as you submit a bug report, Djinnet and I receive a notification and a summary, which makes it infinitely easier to retrace the steps to ultimately fix the bug.
But yes, as Steets said, this is yet another issue with the DarkMode Extension and the underlying invert filter.
I suggested to create a ticket, Wulf pinged Steets and we thought a ticket wouldn't be necessary anymore. Should i create one now?
I have a ticket for the bug Saphserg originally reported, which was the inversion of the fullscreen video while using dark mode in Chromium browser.
Iβd appreciate a ticket for this issue as well, since itβs caused by the same underlying problem with the DarkMode extension. That way, Iβd be able to merge them. π
Came home to this
hacker
@tidal crypt
We are in here!
Thank you!
very much looks like "nothing to see here, im not not hacking anything
hahaha
How did she get up there π
Rescued this little guy this summer, he snuck in my house 3 times lmao. "Look at me, I'm perfectly hidden!"
I knew something was wrong when he came and lied down next to the water I had put out for him (her actually), in broad daylight
The sanctuary even made a facebook page for her, it's great!
oh so lovely...
Gotta love the keyboard furt
Yeah fudge it, I'm probably going to adopt another ferret, didn't realize how much I missed them
I just need to die before it though
or get an immortal ferret
Is that...a hedgie? I love hedgehogs. I had a family living in my garden for a while and became concerned for one of them that was much larger than the others and seemed to have difficulty in walking. I picked him up took him to my local vet and he examined him and then finally said: There is nothing wrong with this hedgehog...that a diet wouldn't fix! Basically he'd gotten so fat that he couldn't roll into a ball anymore and the vet said we couldn't release him as he would no longer be able to protect himself from predators. So he had to go on a special diet for 6 weeks. Then I put him back with his family π¦ 
haha yeah, I fed them too well it seems!
That's success if you ask me
Hedgehogs are cute, they just waddle around and do their thing.
But do you like cats?? or how about a ferret cat? https://vxtwitter.com/PunchingCat/status/1851055571992264909
his neck is so long π
longcat is long

redesign of the current website for ferret software. Completely UNOFFICIAL* and just a community piece π
I was gonna use the pixel ferrets running around to be on the images of the ferrets but forgot lol
I was having a dream a few nights back with the pixel ferrets in it they were raining down on my TV for some thing kinda like a shaker charm more than running around tho lol
Sounds like a great dream tbh
THAT looks SO cool
π€π€π€
I like the design but the tagline is so corporate π
Also they saved over 60 by now afaik
I'm sure that's placeholder text :)
most of the text is copy and pasted from the current website
other than that it was placeholder jargon i wrote out
Oh thor finally made ferrets.live? Neat
I also kinda like UI making! But for a variety of factors (Using a program not intended for UI building, being young, UI making only as a hobby) it kinda sucks
Here's my most recent concept: BBC Worldwide, an app where BBC does anything it can do worldwide
what program did u use to make this?
I used scratch- which is kinda meant to be a coding website for kids, but it has a basic costume editor
age and experience should never ever stop anyone from creating and being creative
being young is the best time to be creative
Since this is not ferret related, and this is a channel around ferrets, I'll share something I worked on a bit ago
Ferret Owner Simulator! (Prototype)
You adopt a ferret and take care of the ferret
even tho the ferret is only a PNG...so..
yoo i love that. You should get unreal or something and progress the idea fr
Thanks! I'm sure school will teach Unreal or Unity sometime this year...
Here's the changelog for the game so far (it follows DD/MM/YY for the dates)
Changelog:
22/10/24: beginning, with the ferret PNG, variables and background as well as the adoptions (two ferrets)
23/10/24: added some mechanics for variable decrease over time, planning over "actions", added the ability for the ferret to sleep
25/10/24: Initial preparations for the action "pet"
