Can Minks climb?!

[DuckyGurl]

Please tell me if Minks can climb?

according to this, they can. How well I don't know. But they can get into very small holes - like mice and rats, they can squeeze through a hole that seems much too small for it to fit into.

They climb very well, and can fit into spaces you's swear you couldn't fit your finger.

My uncle had a very sneakly one last winter it would climb a 4 foot partition wall kill a chicken climb back up the wall with the chicken eat the head and then hide the body under an old door by the time he realized it the thing had killed 9 - 10 of the chickens and hid them all in the same spot.

Today, I went to let my four beautiful pet Peking ducks and saw only three come out. I look in and find a mutilated dead duck. I am 16 and today was the worst day of my life. My pet ducks are my world, my life, and my kids. Now a horrible mink killed what was the sweetest and shyest girl duck on this earth. I would too Like to know if a mink can climb. I don't want my other ducks to die.

Lock your birds up at night in the coop. Make sure the coop is pest proof. Mink like racoons come out at night, so your birds should be safe on there roosts.I have killed one mink and a couple racoons(they died of lead poisioning >.
