Can anyone offer any explanation? I came home and one of the setters had been sick in his kennel and there on the floor was a dead mole. He definitely didn't have it when I put him in there! And I doubt he'd regurgitated it! So would it have wandered in by mistake? (big mistake - that dog has a history of killing ::) ) Do they taste nasty and might make him sick? ( he has a sensitive tummy). He seems very fine and bright in himself and has eaten his tea. I'm just curious.

One of our chicken pens has a run with a wire roof. The other day we found a dead mole on the wire roof.
Can only assume that a bird of prey or the like had dropped it there!!!
Could the mole have been dropped in there and doggy had been messing with it????

oo - never thought of that ITH - there is a roof on the kennels but if it was dropped just outside he has very long legs and could have dragged it in. OH is very pleased that he has one less mole :-)
My sons land is near a driving range and gets loads of golf balls dropped by birds on his land!
