Baby weasels develop fast once the kits start eating solids! 🥹 …Though, the first few weeks do, admittedly, drag on f o r e v e r due to how frequently they need feeds and how sensitive their GI tracts are. So milestones like this are always encouraging during rehab; it’s like I can feel myself already becoming slightly more rested. 😅 This infant long-tailed weasel may look like a forever baby because adults usually top out at under half a pound, but don’t let the painfully adorable face fool you - weasels are seriously impressive little predator animals! They eat a huge amount for their size, provide excellent natural rodent control, and honestly, if one is hanging around your property, there’s a very good chance it’s because the rodent population is growing - or too large already - too. 😅 They are HUGELY beneficial to have around your property! Also, for those of you who own domestic, outdoor, small prey-type mammals - ESPECIALLY during “baby season” - if I could tell you one thing to focus on to protect your small animals and to not put our native predator species in a situation to be loathed, it would be this: Hardware cloth > chicken wire, always, and don’t forget that predators can both fly AND dig in, too. 👏🏼 #wildliferehab #weaselcare #naturalrodentcontrol #predatorproofing
