Hell, it was over before I was even born! The woman never did let facts get in the way of her arguments. And I wasn't joking! She accused me of all kinds of things that happenned long before my time! :beer: :beer: :beer: John

On the critter the first thing that came to mind with me is a muskrat too. didn't know if they were up there or not. Not a very good critter to have in you oasis. he can do some pretty serious damage to liners, pipes, plant roots. lilies, and if if they can catch fish, they will eat them. FAR worse animal in your situation than a dozen bullfrogs would be! :yikesu:

Well did not see a tail, have seen the critter twice, once right by the house, then the one time diving off the rock. Just not good enough. I don't see any plant damage from it eating them, according to the net they eat a lot at night. I will go out today and check out the bog well, see if it has been munching. Muskrats are throughout the usa

Well we snagged pictures of the critter, it is living under our deck, when it leaves a poop present it smells like unreal! We set up a motion detection camera and caught it coming out for its daily feed. It is crossing the stream right below our deck.

Turns out to be our back yard or the cousin of our back yard ground hog.

looks like a ground hog to me .I had a lot of them in NJ and they used to get in my big fountain and make a mess .They loved getting in my veggie garden too .I have not seen any here yet .

So far it has not done any damage to the gardens, it does love the falling apples. If I had the camera in the hot tub yesterday it was sitting under our tree with an apple between its paws, one cute picture

 

[sissy]

yep sounds like a ground hog ,I had several apple trees and they would sit up on there back haunches and hold the apple between there paws and munch away .

 

[j.w]

I think that apple tree is what may be saving your garden. Would have made a cute picture him eating the apple. Shame on you addy for not having your camera handy at ALL times :razz:

 

[addy1]

We have fun watching him/her, guess its home is under our deck.

Going to try have some better cameras coming to catch the comings and goings. I have seen it out in the field, but it runs the moment it spots me and my killer yorkie!
