Oh, my cats are FAT from mousing! We own three!
Mice can swim? I see so many drowned ones .......I guess they can't swim that LONG.
So much for the moat idea. I need something ducklings can get in and out of, not a moat designed for drowning because of no exit. Perhaps the mice cannot get out of the bucket.
My muscovy are "meaties" and lumber about and do not forage much. They will forage if it is a foot or two away, the rest of the time they lumber around and wait for me to bring them things. I love them because they are mellow but the chickens do a much better job of clearing ou the bugs and such for me.
Do ducks need to learn foraging? Perhaps mine just didn't get the knack of it.
I'd love to create a pond that was dual purpose like that but I guess I'll just have to find another way to keep the rodents out.
