No thoughts on what opened that can... but is that the coop in the back ground. Is this the guy that sells them on Craigslist. I have eye'd the Craigslist coops often but not gone to look yet. 

We live in central Florida as well.

yeah, I could see a domestic cat going for evaporated milk...but not a bob...I would say I would try it as an enrichment project, but like domestic cats, bobcats are lactose intolerant, and I don't relish the prospect of enclosure cleanout if they actually went for the canned milk...after all, I am the behavioral specialist AND the keeper. BLEH!

 

Still don't think they would go for it though.

  All  felines like milk. A dog not so much. But now how it know milk was inside a sealed can I don't know? Ah, may it can read?

I'd have to vote for a canine - my super sweet pit bull mix destroys metal cans (full or empty) with ease!  Punches holes in them and crushes them with very little effort.  Empty cat food cans (the 14 oz size) are her favorite toy especially if there is still a morsel of cat food left inside. 

Currently sharing flock with FIL - 5 light brahmas hens and 1 handsome light brahma roo, 8 of their offspring, and FIL just added 10 RIR hens. Brahma roo thinks he is in heaven!

That is the coop and it's the guy that sells them on craigslist. He does a very good job at a very affordable price smile.png

Thank you. I will have to contact him I'd like a couple more coops/runs but my husband doesn't have time right now.
