Mink have a territory that they cover, and don't stay in one spot for more than a day unless it's a female and she's got a litter. They are fast and fearless, and will eat many pond critters, but they won't eat great quantities of them. They are one of the primary predators of muskrats. You done good, TJ!
Unless you have trout in a tank. Here's what one trout producer in Vermont told me:
...but I have lost thousands of trout to predation from mink over the years. In one example (years ago), predation by mink caused the loss of 100 nine inch trout from a single tank (every single trout in the tank) in a single 24 hour period!
