In the wild, they survive for 2 years on average; most do not survive a
second winter. In captivity, they normally start to deteriorate in
condition as they approach their third year becoming thinner and losing
much of their fur, nearly all die during their third winter.

Correct Bouler, this was the one I mean to mention, my mistake.

Indeed it is the Muskrat who do al the damage I referred to in my previous
e-mail.



In Holland it is a big problem, but the Dutch can handle the situation, they
had bigger problems with water before.
