what type of critter is this
 

we found her in the shed this morning. she has some babies. mink? some sort of ferret. she is brown w/ a white belly and is about 10 inches long

Looks like a Weasel......

Least Weasel.

Indigenous to NA

I'd stay well away from these......

Pop!

Also might be a stoat, but hard to tell without seeing the tail. Actually good to have around, unless you have chickens. They won't bother anything and they control mice and rats. Very cool creatures.

I bet your right Zim.

Pretty animal! Must groom itself often.

My first thought was someones ferret mated with something close and this was the result. Second thought was a weasal. however , I would not bet even a penny that either guess is correct.

looks like a stoat. she's been moving her babies. very cool. thanks for the help guys

that stoat video is awesome!

Yeah it was.Stoat is a pretty serious hunter and pretty agile creature.
