      @zebedeemadness2672 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The word Stoat is a common name, that derived from a word meaning Bold, Brave. Some places use Stoat, some don't, so all stoats are Weseals, but not all Weasels are Stoats. So (Mustela nivalis) is commonly known as Least Weasel, Little Weasel, Common Weasel, or just Weasel. (Mustela erminea) is commonly known as Common Stoat, or just Stoat, Short-Tailed Weasel, Beringian Ermine. (Mustela richardsonii) is commonly known as American Ermine, American Stoat, American Short-Tailed Weasel. (Mustela haidarum) as Haida Ermine. The word Weasel derived from a word meaning smelly animal. The name Short-Tailed Weasel is used because in America you have (Neogale frenata) that is known as the Long-Tailed Weasel, Bridled Weasel, Masked Ermine, or Big Stoat.

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.

We hadn't caught anything yet, so after about a minute he realized that he wasn't going to get a handout. He went into the water, swam to the bottom then came out of the creek on the other side clutching a sunfish in his teeth.

      The truth - she got quite good to separate the finger from the hot-dog, even if the smell is the same (me touching it). Her teeth is razor sharp, I got to feel that in the beginning :) Now she is very gentle - until she got the real hot-dog. Then she have no mercy.

    Now that is a baby. A real total angel. I mean it is a vicious carnivore, but, damn cute to eat meat by hand. This critter is not at all an indoor weasel I am guessing. There is another who had rescued a little guy like yours but as a tiny baby as its mother passed on I think. So from birth they had a relationship unlike this cutie who I am guessing adopted you? Look into my other little buddy, he is named ... OZZY THE TABLE WEASEL! He is a tiny dude compared to this fellow. Funny video from OZZY is the OZZY War Dance. Him vs. a stuffed elephant toy. Good times for cute friends.

    Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could make them feel at home in our yard? We have a lot of squirrels and mice near our house, but I'm worried that neighborhood cats and dogs or human activities might be scaring them off.

      Mongooses were never considered part of Mustelidae, until more recently, they were considered part of the family Viverridae due to their molecular similarities to civets, however, recent studies now treat mongooses as a separate family (Herpestidae) from Viverridae.

      Well, she stores it for later. If I give 5 hot dogs she will stay away for days. Just one, she will be back next day for more. Fish is a problem, because she stores it near by and it starts to smell after a few days. So, I try to not over-feed.
