Are you one of the scientists who did the hot-dog-research on stoats? How many hot-dogs did it take to prove that theory? I tried 4 hot-dogs an the stoat lived two years longer than normal.

Both are same animal (stoat), in winter and summer fur.

I often see these kind of comments from wildlife experts from Manhattan. This is a Stout. They get about 4 years old in the wild. Ermine was 6 years old when it passed away. Do you know that a German Sheppard can get up to 30 years old if u feed it with human food and not "healthy" dog food? Humans, rarely gets older than 30-40 years old if they live "of the land", but tipping 80-100 eating food by preparing it. Where you learned your biology? Some text book from the same people who said earth was flat a few years ago? Btw, Hermine was fed on 90% fish. You need to live with these animals to learn about them. Seek the truth :)

Ignore him/her, but drop a treat from time to time - and you have a new pet before u know it. His weakness: curiosity.

They're actually unusually brave. I had one come into my tipi in the middle of winter and I'd be staring at it just a couple inches away and it would keep coming back. Even though it was only a time time thing.

Oh please lol hot dogs are all.the parts of animals we dont eat that they would eat regardless. I mean, cat food and dog food is super processed, and yet we have happy healthy dogs running around. I'm imagine the guy wasnt willing to fork over 20$ for fresh meat for a wild animal who would take a hotdog with just as much appreciation. Processing hot dogs involves grinding meat together into a paste, adding some salt, and cooking it. Thats all.
