If you are considering getting a pet mink, you may find reviews and advice from experienced owners useful.
It is recommended to take a mink at about 1 month of age, and it is better to choose a male, as females can be more aggressive.
Once you bring your pet home, it is important to start training it right away. Otherwise, if your pet spends most of the day alone while you are at work, you risk getting a disobedient animal.
The animal's diet has a strong influence on the odor emitted by the animal. Choose a diet that minimizes odor.
During the rut, the female mink comes out of this state on her own. Males actively mark their territory and can exhibit destructive behavior, such as scratching wallpaper and damaging furniture. In such cases, educational measures do not work, and the only solution is sterilization.
Minks do not like to live in a cage, but since it is absolutely impossible to do without it, it is worth choosing the most spacious cage possible so that the animal feels comfortable.
These little animals truly enjoy walking on a leash – but only if they have been trained to do so since puppyhood.
Another important point: minks do not get along well with other pets, including other minks. They can be so aggressive and strong that they sometimes injure other pets, such as cats or small dogs.
We previously explained why it is important to wash your pet's bowls as often as possible.
