PaulABF Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 What are you going to do with it if it does survive and reaches maturity? Might make a good pet. Certain to be tame after you've hand reared it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry d Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Have fun, I saved a young weasel once and all I got was bitten fingers He was constantly on the move and he would let you pick him up and for no reason sometimes he just bit, much like a young ferret but more often and for no reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gixer1 Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) Bait? :yp: I was in the car with my wife yesterday and we drove past a pheasent knocked down at the side of the road, I continued on and my wife said "it was moving, it was moving" so I did as I was told and turned round.... As we got within 10 feet you could see the feathers were moving in the wind but it was most certainly brown bread! But had it been alive I have no doubt the family would of nursed the blighter back to health.... Sometimes compassion is required.... It's one of the reasons I never understand posts on here with people wanting to shoot foxes in thier back garden when they are miles away from poultry/rearing areas....it's basically shooting for the sake of it which is not really cricket IMHO...
