We plan to implement a mole catch and release program, but not until we are certain all moles have either been captured or have vacated the premises upon seeing the fates of their kinmoles. Currently, we are keeping a steady supply of worms in the mole cooler and they seem to be content enough. The cat isn't allowed into the bedroom but the moles slumbered next to us on the floor last night in their cooler by the bed. I am an animal lover in the extreme, except for anything with more than six legs, and am a worrywort to boot, so I am worried that the moles might not survive their captivity. When I got up this morning I lifted the lid to the mole cooler and one of them was actually lying completely still on top of the dirt. He was so cute and furry and I was afraid we had lost him. Brian, with his usual blithe certitude, assured me the little guy was fine and, sure enough, when I checked later he had burrowed back into the dirt.
So the Mole Hunter has emerged victorious but continues his mole patrols today to make sure all offenders have been apprehended.
Aren't they cute? And, in case you didn't know, moles have very, very soft fur. You should definitely pet one if you ever get the chance.
