Luckily he's outside in the garden and not inside! Chase cornered him up in the BBQ last night. It appears that he had eaten all the foil off the grease encrusted drip pan. He escaped and ran toward the storage building.
I also found supersize mouse turds in my covered up outside workbench. That would explain why many things were eaten off in the garden last year...things like pea pods up the trellis and tomatoes still on the vine...he could climb up there on the plant supports. So we may have been blaming the wrong critters (raccoons)!
He is probably living under the storage building with his mate and babies! So the next available nice day will be spent putting wire mesh around the base of the storage building in the gaps between the concrete blocks that support it. Could get smelly if they are trapped under there and die but I'm willing to chance it!
Seems like it's always something when you live in the country!
