Molie1337 35 Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Ive a problem with my 6 month old patterdale bitch eating mice that she catches in the grain at work. my boss's terrier loses interest as soon as they stop twitching, but mine swallows them whole! still kicking and all! i know this is bad because they can scratch their way out! jus wondering if any of you old hands had any advice. cant really keep her away from mice as shes trolling about the yard every day. Thanks in advance for any advice! Quote Link to post
