I am a soft touch
I really am.
Waffles caught a vole today and let it go in the house. It's had the run of the living room (sigh..) until Marble got it by the neck whereupon it was rescued from death by Nathan who managed to get it from Psycho Cat From Hell and put the now very shocked vole into the rescue box. It's been in the box for an hour, undisturbed in a quiet, darkened room and I've just been to check on it. Voley is alive and was sitting in the corner of the box. He looks very cute. I've discovered what a frightened vole loves to eat. Slices of soft, juicy sweet pear. Ever seen a vole's eyes come out on stalks? Similar expression to me in a chocolate shop really. Vole is stocking up on energy and liquids by munching on pear and also some cucumber. Once he's had his fill I'll let him go in a quiet corner of the night time garden :-) Cheers, helen s This is an invalid email adress to thwart spammers To get my correct email remove the dependency on fame & fortune from h*$el*$$e**nd***$o$ts***i*$*$m**m$$o*n**s@$*$a$$o* *l.c**$*$om$$ Any speeling mistakes are as a result of cats on the keybrrrdd |

All creatures great and small, Lady Helen loves them all! :-)
I'm like you. We had some mice take up residence under our house (but not in it thanks to Oliver) and we were live traping them and letting them go at a local park. I don't know if my poor husband wanted to laugh or cry when I started dowering them in their new life with a handful of sunflower seeds. The little guys were so cute!!

Of course, if you have been a *bad* vole, you'll just turn into kitty crunchies. :-) Yowie |

Could you get some of your mice to teach mine how to eat sunflower seeds? They seem to regard sunflower seeds as unedible (because of the shell), and I've been trying to teach them that they can be eaten. I gave them sunflower seed lessons by partially opening some seeds, then putting a bit of peanut butter inside with a toothpick, to entice them to crack them open. They're beginning to pick up the idea, I think, but they're still pretty clumsy at it, and usually end up dropping and losing the seeds in their bedding while opening them. |

Oops, my first thought was why would you be trying to teach mice to eat sunflower seeds ;-) then I remembered these are the wild variety. lol |
