Mating Moles

[Paulfreebury]

Sorry i got carried away! you may have guessed that I'm a traditional mole catcher

[Dean Lofthouse]

Good info there Paul, you've certainly taught me a thing or two, thank you

[Paulfreebury]

Anytime! I'm a wealth of knowledge me

Only caught one mole Paul and haven't seen any fresh mounds since, surely one mole can't be responsible for so many mounds. I was getting 2 or 3 fresh mounds daily

 

Sweet the way you named your caught Mole "Paul"....how did you tell it was male:lol:

I was going to hold a funeral for Paul today, but my dog found it and ran off with him. He had to be a male because he had a particular liking for neat little mounds

Paul the mole man, :thumbup1:I was told male moles have straight mole hills, female moles have them all over the place !!

 

True or false??

Total rubbish I'm afraid, its all about where the worms are

Amazing info Paul... Often the topic of many customers lawns!

Sexing moles is fairly easy, turn it upside down, with its head towards you push your thumbs into the area behind the back legs and you'll feel if its male or female, it's testicles are not visible but can be felt under the skin

jumping in on the mole Q&A session. Moles are cool, but ive only ever seen them dead, on the surface, several feet from the hole, without any obvious injury... why? do they come out on the surface to die of old age? or does something cause them to abandon the tunnel and they then die of exposure?
