Tiercel 6,986 Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 The polecat / ferret can hybridise with the european mink, the male offsprings are sterile but some females can be viable. http://www.ferret.ru/eng/khonorik.html So it is possible but very unlikely. I wonder if you bought one and it did not have mink dna in its genes how much you could sue them for? TC Quote Link to post
Country Joe 1,411 Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Im sure Rake Aboot has them, he may be on this post to give advice on keeping and working them. Quote Link to post
Carraghs Gem 1,675 Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Well the BEW in the pic isnt mink so where is the pic of the mink parent? it is also illegal to keep mink as pets (in ireland anyway i assume its the same in uk?) I would expect the kits to have considerably softer coats also if theres a bew in the pic where is this eu polecat? Quote Link to post

pie-eater 377 Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 The polecat / ferret can hybridise with the european mink, the male offsprings are sterile but some females can be viable. Im not saying it should be done but if the males are sterile I assume they could be used in the same way as a vac hob? Quote Link to post
