Moles (animal)
On the list of burrowing rodents is the mole, whose original name in Germany and Scandinavia means 'dirt tosser'. The mole uses its toxic saliva to paralyze earthworms, of which thousands then can be stored in underground larders for fresh eating. Contributors typically want to know about the mole's environmental role in opening air passageways underground, geographic ranges, most effective controls by gardeners, and predator/prey roles within soil food webs and surface food chains.

How is the mole crab adapted to live in the turbulent surf zone?
The mole crab has a smooth, streamlined body, which diminishes the impact of waves and lets it burrow and move (by use of its swimmerets) efficiently through swirling mixtures of sand and water. Mole crabs also have featherlike antennae, which they use to capture the mircoscopic organisms that live between sand grains and in the surf.

Will peppermint oil get rid of moles?
Moles eat ants and grub worms and cinch bugs and so on. Peppermint oil suposedly drives the insects away so the moles won't have anything to eat and they too will go away. Its much cheaper to go to Walmart and get a bag of bug killer to spread on your lawn. As soon as the moles have nothing to eat they will leave. By the way, some folks don't like to use the bug killer because they think it finds it's way to the water table. By the time it gets that far down it has been filtered more than enough not to cause a problem.

guinea pigs eat :
All vegetable and fruit portions listed are for one guinea pig.
Red or Green Bell Peppers: One slice of a whole pepper, given daily, remove seeds. My favourite fresh food for guinea pigs and is loved by most guinea pigs. Very high in vitamin c, especially the red, but all colours have high vitamin c content. Please note: Bell peppers are not to be confused with red hot chili peppers which are a totally different food and should never be given to guinea pigs.
Broccoli: Half a floret, including the stalk, twice weekly.
Kale: Two to three small leaves, twice weekly. Not always available in our supermarket.
Carrot: One baby carrot or a small slice of a large carrot, every other day.
Romaine Lettuce: One large leaf, every other day. Never give guinea pigs iceberg lettuce, its not nutritious and it can give them an upset tummy and diarrhoea.
Celery: One 1/4 of a stick, weekly. Very stringy so needs to be chopped up into small pieces to avoid piggy choking.
Dandelion Leaves: Two or three, average size, twice weekly. A seasonal food during spring and summer.
Fresh Grass: Small handful, three to four times weekly. A seasonal food, spring, summer and autumn. Sometimes my piggies go outside to eat fresh grass for themselves on warm sunny days. Never put guinea pigs out on wet grass, always make sure the grass is dry and never use grass that's been cut by a lawn mower. When spring has arrived and your grass has started to grow, just give your piggies a small amount of grass to begin with so their tummies adjust. More about safety tips below.
Baby Tomato's: One baby tomato or small plum tomato, twice weekly. Remember to remove the poisonous tomato top ( green part ) If using a slice from a larger tomato, remove seeds.
Cucumber: Very little nutritional value, but has high water content and is loved by most guinea pigs. One slice, include the outer layer which is their favourite part. Given every other day. Cucumber is really appreciated by guinea pigs in hot weather, it acts as a liquid and is nice and cool. A little like us enjoying an ice lolly.
Parsley: A few sprigs , given weekly. Very high in calcium so should be limited if your guinea pig is prone to developing bladder stones.
Apple: One small slice, include peel, give weekly, remove core and pips. Royal gala variety is a favourite. Many fruits are full of natural sugar and have fruit acid. To avoid your guinea pig getting a sore mouth, cut all fruit into small pieces and just give as an occasional treat because of the high sugar content.
Pear: One small slice, include peel, give weekly, remove core and pips.
Seedless Grapes: One or two, must be seedless, give weekly.
Satsuma Pieces: One or two segments, remove rind and pips, give weekly. You can give a little of any orange citrus fruit.
Corn on the Cob: A recent new food. I'm unable to find corn on the cob with outer leaves, but the leaves can be eaten by guinea pigs. Roughly a dozen tiny segments, twice weekly.

What do born field mices eat when there motehr left them?
Orphaned field mice will drink milk for the first few weeks of their life. Warm: goat's milk, cow's milk, or other animal milks will usually sustain their health until they can eat solid food. Try to feed them every chance you get unless they reject the offering, however, amke sure they eat at least 3 times a day. Keep the babies in any sort of a cage under a light sheet so they get darkness, but so they can see when their eyes begin to open. Make sure plenty of blankets are in the cage to ensure that the babies stay warm.
