Are Minks Trainable?


We have a couple of minks that live close to the lodge.  Although some people told us that you can't train a wild mink, we had a lot of time on our hands this winter, so thought we'd give it a shot.  The large one we named Marvin.  The other one we worry about because she has mange and it seems to be getting worse.  Her name is Marge the Mangy Mink.

Marvin down on the dock.  We were told they wouldn't fetch, but we found it depends on what you throw for them.

It works fine with crab legs.

Madge is a little slower, but she's fetching this turkey bone.

Marvin having fun fetching a turkey leg.

He'll fetch a turkey breastbone as well.

We've trained Madge to clean the Barbeque and take the old salmon skins to the compost.
