Thank you! Not very... a few months maybe.. he was still smallish when he escaped... a friend of mine who does wildlife rehab asked me recently if I wanted one she had as they are not releasable... they are invasive and are destroying our wetlands.. there is a bounty on them.. $5 a tail! But I said no.. that was kinda hard as they are adorable and make sweet pets.. they will follow you around like a puppy! But they will destroy your yard so you really need a good strong fence that they can’t dig out of and a yard of their own... they also eat huge amounts of vegetation!
My husband said he was thinking of tagging it with spray paint and letting it go, to give the owners a chance to confine it! I told him that I didn't think that was a good idea, because they probably wouldn't catch on to what that means and then we might not be able to catch him again, I don't even know if we will be able to trap him at all, I'm hoping so! He told me today that we should be getting the trap tomorrow!
