It is that time of year when the young polecats are starting to look for new territories of their own. Since the beginning of October the numbers of dead on the roads between my home and Coventry [UK] has be increasing. Like the last three years I have been collecting the corpses where it's possible to get out of the car in safety. I note the sex, approximate age i.e.. adult or kitten and the location, all this information is sent to the mammals society as part of an ongoing survey about the movements of the polecat in the UK. http://www.smartgroups.com/groups/house-ferrets http://www.smartgroups.com/groups/head-gardener http://www.geocities.com/houseferrets13uk/index.html http://www.webspawner.com/users/ferretwelfare/index.html http://groups.msn.com/UKHouseFerretsSmallPetsAssociation Artis Pet Sanctuary, Doncaster, Yorkshire ,UK.
