• 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:


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


  • 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!!! 😃


  • 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!


  • 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


  • we figure he's crossed with a scaredy cat 😃 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!!!


  • 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.
