This beaver was orphaned and rescued as a newborn,
Watch the incredible instinct to build a dam, even though it’s never seen it’s parents build one.
Stop him, honey; he's ripping apart our living room!
No, let him cook.
Bonus Video
Baby beaver goes out for a swim without permission and gets busted by mom.
Look at me; I'm a beaver too!
If capybaras are the largest rodent then beavers must be a close second.
I'm unsure how I feel about raising a beaver indoors. I actually don't know what's best for him.
I do worry about people seeing this video and deciding that they want to raise a beaver, so they buy it.
I know someone that wanted a sugar glider, so they got a male and female Fast forward a few months, and there were over a dozen in their home. Ya those sugar gliders all got euthanized.
Definitely a rescue because it's damn near impossible to get a native wild animal ownership permit pretty much anywhere beavers naturally occur
The bonus video seems to be set in some kind of animal sanctuary. I don't know if it's permitted, but it does look like good, professional husbandry.
I don't think you can buy a beaver at the pet store.
I have no context for the video so I can't speak for this beaver's treatment. I don't know if it lives in that house or what.
Pets (especially exotics) should never be bought or adopted on an impulse.
