bird 9,598 Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 Norm, don't see many, but found this in the grass while mooching on my 1st dog walk. Norm owls and foxes take them. But I've read when there left like this, it could have been a cat, because they release a gland, that gives vile smell to cats and dogs? Seen couple 1/2grown foxes up the track playing yesterday about 8.30pm, had Buck on the lead good job lol. Was bloke and woman and 2 kids coming down not far from the track, this time of the year you bump into lots walkers and dog walkers, best not to upset them, don't need the crap they give you.!! 5 Quote Link to post

shaaark 10,160 Posted July 3, 2021 Report Share Posted July 3, 2021 Cool little creatures. Just been reading up on em. A couple of things I didn't know, they're pretty venomous, and can die of stress, or if they don't eat for about 5 hours. 1 Quote Link to post

Didn't no they was venomous, my terrier type put an end to few on walks along the river bank but maybe the venom not anufe to hurt a dog . 1 Quote Link to post
