That's really bad John and your right there's pretty much no chance of it surviving outside over winter. If the temperature drops below 0 degrees (which you and I both know it will!) then it'll freeze to death.
I know you've tried to do the nice thing and offer to take it kindly but I'm thinking if you don't hear anything you should phone the sspca and let them take it - then you can adopt it and give a nice cosy home!
Poor wee thing deserves a good owner like you :(


yip, im givin it a week, if no word calls being made. brakes ma wee heart :( :(

Well I was right about the thunder storm, and its pouring down now!
Still air feels fresher.
I think Lola knew it was on the way too as he went into his tube and stayed there just before it started.
Did Lola get outside to play? (Before the thunder storm of course!)

Yes he had a couple of hours - caught him balanced vertically on the side of his enclosure with his little legs dangling trying to make a great escape again. Wish I'd had a camera it was quite funny. Taller sides needed.

Won't recycling take those in Scotland?
I've had a successful day womblyn again!
5 bags of gold gravel recycled for someone else's garden.
The man gave me very strange look when I said it had to go so that I could grow weeds.
He thought I said weed!

Aww lyn I'm moving house next week and because I'm renting just now I need to take all the weeds out my garden or the letting agency will take them out and charge me for it.
I'm leaving it to the absaloute last minute because it's beasties food! So was thinking about replanting them at my new house - more specifically the sow thistle because beastie loves it and I can't see any wild ones at the places I usually pick because I know they aren't sprayed. Silly question but can I do that?

I phoned the estate agent and asked if the people who are selling my new house have been using weed killer - they are getting back to me lol
They must think I'm insane :p

Worth a try - weeds are pretty tough. As long as you have the roots to keep moist for a day or so,they should be ok. I put some dandies with roots in pots last year and they came back in the spring.
One thing I've noticed though is that most weeds seem to do better in well drained soil.
