Weezie the Pet Weasel
I am so jealous … can you imagine having a pet weasel? No, neither can I 
However … some people do!
I had an email through my site from a lady in the UK who was very thrilled at the information I had on my Least Weasel page and she was asking me if I knew if female weasels showed the same signs of coming on heat as female ferrets do. I told her that I knew nothing personally about weasels, since they aren’t in Oz, and that all the information I had put on my page had been gathered from books or the Internet.
We struck up a correspondence and she told me she’d nursed an orphaned weasel to health and now that little creature, called Weezie, was living in her house.
I was fascinated by this and asked her if she’d be so kind as to write a story about how she managed to help the little creature survive and send photos, if possible.
Lena, the lady in question, did all that and I finally got around to putting up the story of Weezie the Pet Weasel on my site. It’s a fabulous story and I must say that I am SO jealous that I will never ever have the opportunity of seeing a weasel in the wild, let alone nursing it back to health or being a mother figure and helping it to grow and mature.
What a great experience … and one I shall only know through other people’s stories! Still – better that than not knowing anything at all

Do either of you guys have a Facebook entry?
If you do, please ask Lena to be friends (and me too, of course
) and then you’ll be able to see a couple of videos she took of Weezie running around in her house.
Boy, is that weasel quick! I was amazed at how fast the little creature was – leaves our ferrets in the dust
There are lots of other ferret owners/ferrets in Facebook so it’s lots of fun.
Ooo, can’t wait to read it
I’ve heard of people keeping opossums (and I have to admit they are adorably cute, at least to me. My family has often joked that that will be next pet).
that’s great!!!
Weezie is wonderful!
we have weasels here and I see them from time to time..one,I think the female one,lives in one low bush overgrowed field close to my home and I took the picture with my cellphone camera last autumn..
it would be beautiful to have one weasel pet!
