Kip meets the Gerbils

[Rivermoon]

I'm amazed…they would be gone really fast in my house!

Hi,

We have a video help thread for anyone interested in posting videos on Basenji Forums.
Video Help: How to post a video

I'm amazed as well. If it were my Ruby with the gerbil, you would have been watching the poor thing get killed on the video. :eek:

[hdolbow]

how BRAVE you are!! i could NEVER let a gerbil near my babies.. lol it would be GONE

[imbj]

Cool videos! I was biting my nails, though… I wasn't sure if Kip was going to "hunt" or just let it go... Whew!!! Pretty funny!!! :D

[JazzysMom]

That poor gerbil would have been dead before it ever hit the bedspread.

Wow.

@Kippy_Dad:

Yeah he doesn't look comfortable at all

(I was a bit concerned myself the first time I saw the clip - I don't think kippy_whip understands what might happen)

I'd still strongly STRONGLY encourage kippy_whip to be very watchful.

A few safe encounters may not mean a thing. Start getting too comfortable about it and then one day . . . :eek:

Gerbils are natures candy!

[Knipper]

LOL, boyfriend said that after watching Blaze take down a full sized gopher, Kip must be a 'normal dog' in a Basenji's clothing LOL
I am impressed though, Blaze has been known to bend bars to get into critter cages

[Kippy_Dad]

we figure he's crossed with a scaredy cat :D or courage the cowardly dog

I love the music set to the video! How funny…you never know what they'll do! How cute!

well I've had Kip for around 6 months now and from day one he has been slowly introduced to them and it started just looking though the cage then i would hold them adn let him sniff but i would never leave them unsupervised…

Main point... please know I wouldn't do this if i hadn't been slowly introducing them :)

I would have say that is pretty amazing… and for me... should come with a warning... "Don't try this at home"...:eek:
Mine would have done in that critter in a flash...

@Barklessdog:

Our dog would have bit it's head off and gobbled it down before you know what happened.

Ditto. Would have been about a 3 second video here.

Im SCARED to get ANY kind of rodent pet with Jack because I see how he is the those poor squirrels outside and cats!!!

[wizard]

Me too - I liked the video - but that gerbil wouldn't have lasted with EL D - it would have disappeared into EL D's mouth never to return faster than you could film it.

Oh my gosh! The way my dog Shadow goes after squirrels, birds, etc., I'm afraid the gerbil would have been a quick snack. Very cute video.
