Ferrets

The largest of the Mustelid family, grows to the size of a small cat, and been known to kill adult kiwi.

Introduced in the 1880’s to control rabbits, then 100 years later for fitch farms particularly in northland. When the fir market collapsed many were released to the wild with devastating impacts on the Northland kiwi population.

There have been recent catches at Glenbervie and  near Kaiatea Rd.
