How many babies can a mink have?
American minks have about four to five kits per litter once a year. But some may have 7 to 8 per litter.
European minks gives birth to four to six per litter
How many ferrets should you get?
It really depends on how many cages you have , how much money you want to spend on them, and how much time you want to spend with them. for every cage you have = how many hamsters you can get exept for if they are brothers or sisters under 3 weeks Hamsters will be best alone never put a girl & boy together unless you want babies and never put the same sex in the same cage unless you want one of them to die
What is the cost of the black footed ferret conservation?
Federal and state agencies have spent over $12 million on the original 18 Meeteetse ferrets and their progeny, and the associated recovery and transplant efforts (Gober, 1995). When calculated in terms of ferrets grown for release, this comes to a cost of almost $40,000 for every ferret returned to the wild. When calculated in terms of surviving ferrets, the cost skyrockets to $600,000 to $1.5 million for every captive-bred ferret that still roams the prairies of Shirley Basin, the CMR, and the Badlands National Park. Clearly, the ferret cannot be saved without spending money. But the costs today are excessive, particularly given the near-certain budget cuts facing the Fish & Wildlife Service and its cooperating federal agencies. Even the more modest cost-estimate of $5,000 for every current and future captive-bred ferret is excessive (Clark, 1995a, Gober, 1995, Hinckley, 1995, and Thorne, 1995b). Such amounts are draining the financial resources of the Wyoming Game and Fish Department and straining the budgetary capabilities of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Recovery is simply not working: The black-footed ferret remains perched on the edge of extinction, seemingly fated to become little other than a zoological curiosity.

Is it possible to breed a badger with a groundhog?
No, that will not work. Besides, you do NOT want a ticked-off badger on your hands!
What do badgers breathe in and breathe out?
They breath in oxygen and breath out carbon dioxide, like a human through it's lungs
No. Weasels do not feed on grass! Weasels feed on small mammals, and have from time to time been considered vermin since some species took poultry from farms, or rabbits from commercial warrens.
How many black footed ferrets do you need for them not to be endangered?
Biologists hope to have 1500 Black-footed Ferrets established in the wild by the year 2010, with at least 30 breeding adults in each population. Meeting this objective would allow the conservation status of the species to be downgraded to threatened. Many factors are taken into account when assessing the conservation status of a species; not simply the number remaining, but the overall increase or decrease in the population over time, breeding success rates, known threats, and so on. The IUCN Red List is the best known conservation status listing.
What do you get when you cross a moose a buffalo and a badger?
The animals are incompatible and cannot crossbreed
Most ferrets are hoarders! In fact, their Latin name - Mustela putorius furo - reflects this tendency, as it means "weasel-like stinky thief." Ferrets will often develop an attachment to a particular item or type of item and will spend much time and effort searching for it if their hiding place is discovered and the item removed. As an example, our female ferret, Yentl, has a particular liking for cellphones and will steal them whenever she gets the chance to do so, secreting them away in various places about the house.
What are the 3 different species of ferrets?
Within the genus Mustela, ferrets belong to the subgenus Putorius, from which there are only three extant species: M. putorius, the European polecat; M. eversmanni, the Siberian, or steppe polecat; and M. nigripes, the black-footed ferret.
A dog bred in Russia for hunting wolves?
The type of dog that is bred in Russia for hunting wolves is called a Borzoi. The Borzoi is also referred to as the Russian Wolfhound, and is similar in shape to the greyhound.
Domestic ferrets as pets are just about everywhere, except places where they are illegal, like New Zealand, Parts of Australia, Hawaii, California, a few U S Cities.
European polecat ferrets (wild ferrets) are found across Europe, in New Zealand, Australia. European polecat ferrets are found in all kinds of habitats, prefer to live in the lowland country on the edge of forests or in grasslands with islands of scrub trees, along bodies of fresh water, river banks, dry stone walls, field edges, marsh lands and woodpiles and are commonly found near humans in farmland and farm buildings. They build dens among rocks and tree roots, and in old rabbit burrows.
The Black footed ferret is the only ferret species native to the Americas (there are no recognized subspecies). Black-footed ferrets at one time ranged over an enormous area spanning 11 Great Plains/Rocky Mountain states and one Canadian province and were found on black-tailed prairie dog colonies across the Great Plains from southern Canada to northern Mexico, and on white-tailed and Gunnison's prairie dog colonies across the intermountain west. The black footed ferret is native to North America in the grassland biome and their survival depends on prairie dogs for their main food source and make their homes in the burrows of prairie dog towns in North American prairie and grassland. There are three distinct areas of prairie - Tallgrass prairie, Mixed-grass prairie and Shortgrass prairie. In the United States, the greatest stretch of grassland is the prairie, extending from the Appalachians in the East to the Rocky Mountains in the West. Being in the center of the North American land mass, far from the moderating influence of major bodies of water, there is a great range of annual temperature.The dominant vegetation in these biotic communities is blue grama, mixed with galleta grass, Indian rice grass, and other grasses. By 1986 they were completely gone from the wild. Black footed ferrets have been successfully reintroduced to 15 locations within their former range in Wyoming, South Dakota, Montana, Arizona, Colorado, Utah, Kansas and Chihuahua, Mexico.
do not think so...
...wait no they do not ...
...well really i do not know
What does it mean when you see a dead weasel?
It means that somewhere there is a very sad weasel family :(
What is the wolverine's niche in it's ecosystem?
Wolverines play a key role in their ecosystems as scavengers, helping to clean up and dispose of carrion. They also control populations of smaller mammals like rodents, which helps to balance the ecosystem. Additionally, wolverines are important in scavenging large carcasses left behind by other predators, contributing to nutrient cycling.
Pine Martens are not extinct - if they are I'm the first person to see one!. They are a very prolific creature and exist all over northern Europe. They are a great asset and are helping controlling the invasive grey squirrel.
Why do ferrets make a hissing sound?
A ferret that make a hissing sound means they are annoyed or irritated
