We live in a strange land.
Last winter, we buried a dead snake over by our back pond, and the next day, it was dug up and gone.
Yesterday, I found Winnie dead on the bottom of the cage. She was a rescued feeder rat who pooped everytime someone tried to pick her up. (She spent two years in a cage...running on a wheel for exercise.)
I buried her out by the woods, in a grave about a foot deep. I tamped the dirt down so that my 9 year old wouldn't be able to tell where the grave was. (She's curious, perhaps she'll be a scientist.)
Today the dead rat is gone. Someone done ate her.
Who would do this?
An armadillo?
A raccoon?
An Opposum?
Or, something else?
