Wild Mink And Ferreting


Recommended Posts

 

They can and do eat eggs I've seen it myself. Also seen one start scratching about in the nest and knocking the eggs into the water. Also the trouble with eggs is they hatch and this is normally when they fall prey to predators ...

 

 

Oh yeah, I have no doubt that mink can and will eat eggs...... they also can and will eat crackers. My point is that based on my observations, eggs are not a natural part of a mink's diet, and I doubt it's very common for mink to eat eggs. When my mink are hungry they are more likely to eat a piece of bread they find on the ground then they are a whole egg they find. Not saying it doesn't happen, just saying it must not be common or natural, because mink don't automatically recognize eggs as food the way a crow, rat, or raccoon would.

 

your observations based on captive mink in there natural country mean fuckall compared with the foreign invaderswe've got over here.we've all seen the proof in our own back gardensand you've got the brass totell us we're wrong.keep yourmouth shut about things you've no experience of,you're coming across as a delusional knobhead and starting to piss folkoff

iv had a few problems with what i thought was a fox last season, but may of been a mink or a wild polecat,..... my ferrets would come runnning out the hole faster than iv seen them run before and would not enter again, although she did have a couple of puncher wounds on her which looked like a big tooth mark... same thing on the same pernission a couple miles apart though, i automaticly thought fox but it may of been a mink or a wild polecat ? who knows, but this year i will be staying/digging it out when it reapears again ! iv got myself a decent shovel now, as when i was trying to dig to the last one the shovel snapped, it was one of those little so called army ones, with a pick on the other end, but have a proper shovel this year .... im prepeard this year :yes:
