    Simply adorable. I Have been rescuing ferrets for 26 yrs. I have seen much abuse & that's why I rescue them. They come to my house & are healed & never caged. Eat good healthy foods, clean water & clean beds. They get to go outside. Which most of them have never done. They run around the house, have lots of toys, & sleep in the bottom drawer of my (their) dresser. You are doing an amazing job with these tiny ones. Keep up the good work.

    I was in Michigan’s upper peninsula on 300 acres hunting in a ground blind. One day I had a mouse in my blind that kept getting behind my neck and tying to get in my boots, this went on for hours and got on my nerves. Then I noticed this white object darting in and out of view a good distance out, I wondered what it could be. As it got closer I realized it was some kind of weasel. It got right next to my blind and looked at me. The mouse jumped up on the sil and then jumped out and ran up a sapling right in front on me. The ermine went right up that sapling and caught the mouse, then ripped it open right before me. It was the most exciting thing to happen in the whole trip.

    • @ElementofKindness
      @ElementofKindness 7 років тому

      Welp, I haven't attempted feeding them anything yet, but I did discover today, that they *aren't* living in the woodpile. I have a semi trailer I use for storage, and they somehow found their way in there! I got a really good, closeup look at several of them. It was really unusual how much noise they were making today, as I normally don't hear anything when I go in there. I believe these are probably this years kits starting to venture out from wherever they were holed up, and just a little overly-curious of me, and not all that stealthy!
      The good news is, my mouse problems in the trailer are a thing of the past!! :-D
      Edit: Oh, and I believe they are long tail weasels, not least weasels as first suspected.
