Jim71 1 Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 Hi. I’m in the process of training a young mink that I found as a baby to hunt rats. I’d like to breed from her next year. Has anyone got a reasonably tame male? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jok 3,035 Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Totally agree Bird. Watching his vids are very entertaining and even though he's over the pond it's easy to relate what's going on. Highly recommended but doesn't sort out the problem of having someone over here with a male mink. I wish the lad well. Jok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jim71 1 Posted September 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 Yes I know of him. His name is Joseph Carter. His dog, Onsa, was killed by a truck a few months ago and he's in the process of training another couple. He doesn't often reply to messages on his sites, in fact he just deleted a question I asked him. I've learned a lot from his videos though before I came across Molly, the mink I have. She climbs my leg to feed from my hand just now and plays constantly with lures i drag for her. I would really like to breed from her next year and my request is for someone with a male mink to breed with and share the kits. I had ferrets for 45 years but mink are something else; if you can avoid getting bitten as they bite for fun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mushroom 12,352 Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 Minkery is your man for advice mate but as said doesn't help with a male though. If I wanted to learn about mink, Minkery would be my point of call. Even if he is a Yank with an accent that would curdle any British cows milk in seconds You never know though, he has a pretty popular YouTube channel, maybe he can connect you with someone normal (as in British) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mushroom 12,352 Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 Has he gotten the big for his boots bug? (Not good to hear about Onsa). I always took him as a very open guy. He came on here exactly as you are now, asking advice and help. Usually the sign of a humble person. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Up to now she meets me at her pen gate at feeding time. She climbs up my leg to be fed and jumps onto my hand to feed. She’ll chase a lure like crazy and i’ve Just trained her to go into a pet carrier. She’ll come out of her pen and follow me back in. Will she let me pick her up? You must be kidding! She goes nuts. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
