Unfortunately lots fall prey to our strimmer I've been trying to persuade the hubby to leave the orchard do its natural thing this year, so to give them a break, but he's starting to niggle about it!

dog fox 16 Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 (edited) never pick one up by the tail as they reject them as a defence to escape any attach ,the tail keeps riggling for ages and still makes me cringe now when i see it ,the one in the bottom pic looks like he,s rejected his a long time ago and they can only do it once ..my lad kept some for years they eat worms and slugs mainly , do many people see any grass snakes ,for all my time in the fields i have never seen one Edited August 1, 2009 by dog fox Quote Link to post Share on other sites
