Mating Season for Mink

From Horicon National Wildlife Refuge:

#USFWS




According to the Wisconsin phenology calendar, mink begin mating this week. They will have a litter of 3 to 6 kits in April or May. The young are born hairless but in about 25 days their eyes are open and they will have hair. Shortly after that, they are weaned from their mother but will stay close until fall.
