I have a gopher in my tort pens! I keep flooding the holes and the next day there’s a new mound! The mound is huge!
Do they actually come out and walk around? I wonder if he’s eating left over greens.

I believe Gophers do but moles just randomly pop there head up unless antagonized by something. My husband has had days where he will sit out in a lawn chair with a rifle just waiting on movement.. (like watching paint dry!) but he has been successful and has decreased our population at times. We have tried traps but I can’t stand them because they catch (painfully) but don’t kill.. can’t use poison because of all my other animals. Our options are limited.. I wish you better luck than I have!!

A late good afternoon/evening to you all
Hope you have all had a good day.
Lola was a bit livelier today and up and about before me -
the first time in about 3 weeks that I haven't had had to get him out of his hide for his morning soak.
He has eaten more dandies and plantains too so I think the critical care mix is energizing him.
Long may it continue.
