Not my capture but my better halves. This little one has taken up residence in one of our underground water drain pipes. We will be re-locating him/her soon.
How fascinating! What exactly is he/she? And how do you go about relocating him/her? And how do you stop this happening again..? Sorry about all the questions, but it really is so interesting! :)
@robz This little one is a gopher, my husband was able to get very close with his phone due to their poor eyesight. I believe that their sense of smell is much more important to them. We will be using a have-a-heart trap to catch and relocate. As for preventing an additional 'visit', I wonder if we can fashion a mesh cap of sorts on the end so that the water can continue to flow out. Ah, the joys of living out in the country......
@joysabin Thanks so much for your answer. He's very cute but he sounds like he may be your version of our rabbits! A mesh cap sounds like a great idea - effective without being cruel.. Cheers Rob
