Minkenry 1,044 Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 (edited) I have started a new mink project! Meet my newest mink. Brocc- named after the old English word for "badger" because of his big thick head and shoulders and brazenly confident personality. He is a happy-go-lucky 8 month old buck who is super confident and friendly with humans, yet very intense and highly aggressive towards prey. Ine'sa'be- is a highly driven, highly aggressive, 8 month old buck that wants to bite everything that moves! His name means "black fire" in the Omaha Native American language. Thashishi- is an old retired breeder mink from a fur farm. Her name means "To bite something full of holes" in the Omaha Native American language. She gets her name from her ridiculously powerful bite. Despite her worn down old canines, she can dispatch a muskrat in a fraction of the time Fang could! Shelby- is an old retired breeder mink from a fur farm. She is similar to Brocc in that she is kind and confident with humans, but very intense and highly aggressive towards prey.

Black is a very common color on the fur farms, but in nature all mink are a dark brown. Yes, mink can be rather tricky to breed. They are VERY aggressive towards each other, so getting them to breed rather than fight can be quite difficult at times. Quote Link to post
