Handling

Many states have restrictions on relocation of wildlife, so check with your state wildlife agency before relocating a live weasel.

Many states prohibit the translocation of weasels and other wildlife species, so check with your state wildlife agency before moving a live weasel.

Euthanasia by carbon dioxide is suitable for weasels. When performed properly, shooting the animal in the back of the skull is appropriate.

Check your state regulations regarding disposal of carcasses.
