Debbie found a weasel pup abandoned in the brooder tent yesterday. We are pretty sure it's an Ermin, or short tailed weasel. From what we can figure out it's only a few days old. Why it was abandoned is any ones guess. I think the mother was killed by something and didn't make it back to the nest and this baby crawled out looking for food and warmth. But who knows?  It's eyes aren't open yet, and it has already escaped it's box once, the weaselly little guy:)
