Re: Weasel diet

Just found a reference in "The Natural History of Weasels and Stoats" by Carolyn King. When she was studying Weasel diet by looking at scats, she put a dead white mouse in each trap, which the Weasels, which appeared to be hungry, usually ate (even if the mouse was a bit 'high') and conveniently produced a scat from a previous wild caught meal. So they will eat carrion, if hungry enough.
