Mole who likes sandy stoney soil


Recommended Posts

Lovely answers thanks.

Having now monitored the runs for a few day, I finally found the main point where moley is coming in.

I think the reason why the first couple of Talpex failed was that I hadn't found the main route and thought that as the tunnels were collapsing so fast, that there wasn't a definite regular tunnel system.

Probing hadn't worked as the little sucker consistantly entered the site just below the surface so there were no deep tunnels to find. In the end I found his /her regular route by sticking cocktail sticks in the tunnels and watching for any disturbance.

Talpex installing tomorrow, will let you know what happens.
