I'm looking for ideas on temporary marking techniques for small rodents in the
wild. What I need is something noninvasive that will identify an animal as
'captured' for 4-5 days max and is very quick and dirty. I've used sharpie
markers and find they can wear off quickly, i.e. 1-3 days in wet weather. In a
quick internet search, I found mentions using of Nyanzol A, Nyanzol D,
blackpowder, clothing dyes, human hair dyes, red and orange aniline dyes, and
picric acid. Suggestions?
Thanks,
Sean
