They are a nuisance in my country, mess up many attics and are very hard to get rid of - and they love to kill guinea pigs and rabbits. Our guinea pigs therefor live in a hutch resembling a fortress, a marten can easily chew through thin wire.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>Re: guinea pig injurieshttps://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/49759?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 20 Nov 2011 19:53:27 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:6e657ebf-aa97-4732-88b1-ad6583ea56b7Catherine Williams<p>Sadly seen similar when a family had a pair of guinea pigs then got a pet ferret, kept in separate enclosures but same shed and unfortunately the pens weren&#39;t secure..... owners hadn&#39;t considered that it might be a problem <img src="https://www.vetsurgeon.org/emoticons/v2/headbang2.gif" alt="Frustrated" /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>Re: guinea pig injurieshttps://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/49758?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 20 Nov 2011 18:12:51 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:2d683ad3-9a4d-43b9-81b6-abd3e03440b8plantagenet<p>Ah, of course, stoat or weasel, I should have thought of that. &nbsp;Has anyone seen similar with hutched small furries?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>Re: guinea pig injurieshttps://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/49757?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 20 Nov 2011 18:08:55 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:3bf0cad3-eaef-4378-a97a-8d052cf7d27cGerry Henry<p>1.5 inches more than enough for a small Mink, Weasel or&nbsp;Stoat.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
