This is the first sign of them.

They stay out of the backyard due to our herd of dogs.

That one of the bottom is a mythical chupacabra.

Had a really bloated hairless one that I just threw down the drain cause he was so nasty smelling.

They tear up my yard like the gopher in caddyshack

That's so disgusting. I can't believe I've never seen a mole in my yard, my entire life. Now I have a shite ton of squirrels and they drive me crazy and destroy my house. I also have snakes now by my pond that I find periodically. Never a mole.

What you have is a shrew, not a mole. Also eats insects so crickets and mealworms should work.

I've never seen one alive. Only the ones I fish out of my pond. Got a snake nearby. Picked up its skin off of the rocks on side my pond. My outside cat kills pretty much everything else

You're right.

It's a shrew.

Wikipedia says shrews are venomous.

You need to tame that shrew.

I'm feeding it shrew meat and cocaine.

He's going to be a terror in the illegal shrew fighting circuit.

We named him Bill.
