I have one of these adorable weasels in my yard too! I've named him Swiper. I keep little meat scraps to give him & the other day my husband caught me as I called him & the little guy appeared & got fed. He just shook his head & laughed. He'd rather I didn't feed every wild animal around. Lol

Last summer I took my grandson fishing. A mink (about 15 inches long from nose to tail) came up to us, stood on his hind legs and begged for food. 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.

What a great way to live life. Much pleasure to you and your little free range companions.

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.
