Title: What is in my caravan?
Post by: devonlady on November 18, 2014, 07:36:09 am

Is anyone a bit of a wildlife expert? Since moving out of my caravan, Something Has Moved In (cue scary music) I haven't seen it as it obviously hears me arriving and scarpers.
I know a mouse has moved in as I see it's droppings but a mouse couldn't do what this thing does. Not a rat either as no droppings.
I feed my tiny Yorkie in there last thing and being idle and the evening dark I took to leaving his food dish in there 'til next morning. In the mornings I found the dish, which always had a bit left over filled with bits of paper, small stones and a few times couplings from a hose pipe. Absolutely no droppings, except the mouses, nothing gnawed or peed on.
Any ideas?
