Dead moles????????

[skyhuck]

Over the last couple of weeks I have seen 7 or 8 dead moles, 2 of which were still alive on my yard road, they were in a bad way so I finished them off.

 

I presume its dew to the drought, we are on bed rock, so the soil is very shallow, I guess all the worms are either dead or deep in cracks in the rock. I imagine moles get most of their water from the worms they eat, so are dehydrating.

 

Has anyone else noticed this??

 

So thats one more advantage to the hot weather (although I do feel a little sorry for the "little gent in his velvet suit, but they make such a mess:thumbdown:)

[jpbeaver]

are you going to make your own moleskin trousers?

[Tommy_B]

Probably not enough if there is only 7 or 8. You could probably stretch to some shorts though???

Don't think they'd even do that, perhaps a pair of socks:lol:

Maybe a nice warm thong for the winter!

Has anybody else come across a white mole, I caught 1 in a trap once, showed it to my boss at the time and he chucked it on the fire, found out later that a taxidermist would pay good money for white moles, very rare apparently

Keep your eyes open Dave, could be black and white thong!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You could be on to something here. I found this in my bottom field last night.
