[Frontbum 76]

Been catching a fair few young ones, thought I would see them earlier than this.

Hows everyone else getting on?

Litters can be slightly later,up here.(scotland).There was still a few 'sows' bursting to drop,as late as the 9th may,in my neck of the woods.Theres been at least two golf courses,and a couple of gardens,i was to attend,but havent bothered,since mid-May.Ive decided to let the young 'wean', become semi/fully independant,etc.I dont usually do this,but i must be getting a bit 'soft', as i get older.......ha-ha-ha.

Folk say they only breed once per year.. if the food source is good they breed more than once..i was catching young small moles in january so god know's how many time's per year they really breed

I think i remember reading in an old book, they can have a second litter.But only a small percentage of moles,they reckon.
