 Stoat Or Weasel?
Male and Female stoats and weasels are referred to as a dog and a bitch respectively.
Stoats and Weasels are quite different in their reproductive habits, this is probably due to the short life that weasels lead, forcing them to produce offspring as quickly as possible.
Stoats on the other hand only have one litter per year in Spring but the breeding takes place in early summer of the previous year, with the females able to keep the fertilised egg implanted until it is allowed to gestate.

 BirdForum - I saw a stoat!
The stoat will single a rabbit out and hunt it down, ignoring other rabbits - I've seen rabbits flying out of warrens when a stoat enters, then the hunted rabbit will struggle out as if mortally wounded - they aren't, they're just terrified.
If a rabbit is caught in a warren by a stoat they'll go to a dead end and turn their back on the stoat, attempting to stop the stoat from getting to their neck and head.
A good way of getting a closer look at a hunting stoat or weasel is to make a high pitched squeaking noise by sucking air in through pursed lips or rubbing some expanded polystyrene on glass (wing mirrors work well).
