    Any information or suggestions regarding attracting weasels? Are there any ways to create a weasel-friendly yard?

    What's fascinating is how predators, even among the same species, can adapt to fill completely different niches depending on where they are in the food web. For example, in North America, our red foxes are much smaller, and it is actually coyotes which are our most abundant neighborhood canine...

    Any information or suggestions regarding attracting weasels? Are there any ways to create a weasel-friendly yard?

    Mustela nigripes is not the same thing as a domesticated ferret surviving in the wild at all. Most domestic cats would probably live longer in the woods than a ferret in these parts. I've interacted with ferrets at a pet store where we used to live. They are like puppies, and just as clueless. A...

    So what your saying is that weasels will not eat cat food? I think that they would go for the more tasty wet foods on occasion, but I can't imagine that they would be interested in dry food. But if I ever did put out food for weasels, it would probably be pure meat or fish. Yeah, I guess the...

    Any information or suggestions regarding attracting weasels? Are there any ways to create a weasel-friendly yard?

    Yeah, it would be rare for a weasel to venture into a town like ours, but in the once in a lifetime moment that a weasel would visit our yard (which is possible, because it is not very far from the woods) I would want our yard to be hospitable enough for it to consider returning to the site. I...

    Any information or suggestions regarding attracting weasels? Are there any ways to create a weasel-friendly yard?

    Hello, folks! I've already posted a thread regarding my curiosity regarding why weasels are so rarely encountered, particularly in the suburbs, where they are especially rare to see. Now, my question is not regarding why they behave the way they do, but rather about what their preferences are so...
