Measley is introduced in the second season of The animals of farthing wood. He falls in love with Weasel and follows her around throughout the series. Although Weasel often treats Measley with contempt, she does eventually enter into a relationship with him.

Season 3

At the beginning of the third season, Weasel is apparently furious with Measley for something. "What do I need a mate for? Look what you've done to me!" She tells him. It comes as a surprise to Fox, Vixen, Plucky, Dash and, Mossy that she has a "condition", and is "with weasel". It just so happens that she was expecting babies!

After getting chased by Trey, the new tyrant leader of the park, she is frustrated and leaves the park with Measley to have her little one in safety. In a barn miles away from White Deer Park, Weasel has given birth to two little weasels, Cleo and Fido. She makes Measly do all the work in raising them. She yells at Measly for losing them, and compares her "skinny, starving" weasels to the goslings the twins were following, and makes Measly teach them to be weasels, instead of goslings. Because of the twins, the farm animals make the family leave the barn. After a series of misadventures, Weasel is convinced by Measley to return to White Deer Park.

Upon learning of the Park's invasion of rats, Weasel claimed that she and Measely didn't want to participate in helping the Farthing wood animals against the rats so that they can raise their family peacefully. This decision was soon changed by Measley, who finally stood up to Weasel and wanted to help the animals. He and Weasel then taught Fido and Cleo how to fight the rodents. In the final battle between the Park's inhabitants and the rats, it is Cleo who puts an end to the hostilities, biting off the tail of the lead rat, Bully, and rendering him a laughing stock in front of his troops.
