Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 33435073 United States 04/10/2013 08:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Weasel, it ate all of the peanut butter I put out for it Quoting: Astral Goat Wen will it eat from my hand? When they get used to you putting it out every night, I guess about two weeks, maybe less, I've been doing this for five or six years now, I don't remember how long it took, but it wasn't long. Keep a watch on the tree with a flash light, and when you see them, go out quietly and hold out the peanut butter on the butter knife against the tree and let them come down to eat, if they don't come down after about three min., butter the tree and try again the next night, they will get used to you eventually. They are afraid of flashlight I guess don't shine it right on them? |

Not straight at them, just off to the side enough to see them, their eyes are super-sensitive to bright lights, use a cheap-ass low powered flashlight, not a maglight. Wild Weasels? You've got to be shitting me! |

The rain washed half the peanut butter down the maple tree and they were on the ground eating it just now as I went outside, poor little guys, it's cold out. Quoting: Weasel Keeper Hey Weas! Didn't feed em tonight. But did last night you can walk right up close to them! Really cool. I really thought I had a weird night bird or something. I'm going to see if it will eat off my finger. |

Quoting: Astral Goat Only have 2, and they spastically chase each other all over tree. They're funny little shits, running into each other and knocking others off the tree over feeding space, even though I spread the P.B. over a wide area, they have a pecking order. Wild Weasels?
