Minkenry 1,044 Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 I never thought you could get then in black & white LOL they aren't ferrets. They are mink! These are a color mutation called "Jaguar". Look at their feet. They are round with short claws. And look at their faces, they don't have the pointy nose of a ferret. Also look at how fine and soft their fur is, instead of all spiky and coarse like a ferrets. The animal in the middle picture kind of under the black and white mink is a ferret. The rest are all Jaguar mink. Quote Link to post
Minkenry 1,044 Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 The bottom pic lookalike a albino weasel/stoat Not even close. Weasels and stoats have a much lighter build than a mink. They have smaller heads, and longer necks and bodies. The mink are stockier built, just like the one in the picture. Here's a couple pictures for comparison... Here's the profile of a mink And here's the profile of a stoat Here's a mink standing on it's hind legs, and here's a stoat doing the same. notice the longer neck and smaller head Quote Link to post
Belfasthunter 12 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 If it is mink would it not try kill that ferret? Quote Link to post
Jamie93 57 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 100% they're photoshopped cats/ferrets Quote Link to post
Minkenry 1,044 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 100% they're photoshopped cats/ferrets Nope, sorry. They are Jaguar mink Here's a bail of jaguar mink pelts..... http://www.glacierwear.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/g/r/gray_and_white_jaguar_mink_pelt.jpg And here's someone's pet jaguar mink swimming (just to prove it's a mink) Quote Link to post
Minkenry 1,044 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 If it is mink would it not try kill that ferret? Not all mink kill ferrets. I know several people who have mink that get along with ferrets, one in particular sleeps with them. I also know people who have lost ferrets to their pet mink. It just depends on the mink. Some mink seek them out to kill them, some completely ignore them, and some play with the ferrets way too rough, but don't really intend to do the damage they do to the much more fragile ferret. It just depends on the mink. Me personally, I don't mess with it. If I still had any of my ferrets, I wouldn't let them anywhere near my mink. In my opinion it's like trying to get a rat and a ferret to get along. Can you do it, sure I've seen it done. Would I try to do it, not if I value the rat's life..... Quote Link to post
