I have noticed the pond losing water at an alarming rate after I have topped it up each day. I had wondered why so many of the edge stones were in the water, the rats must have moved them in their digging forays. The culprits have gone under the edge and burrowed under the liner chewing holes in it. This is the result a totally ruined pond.
The "kids" are not amused and reduced to a plastic blow up pond which is no good at all. A very nice Freecycler has offered me a rigid pond liner to tide us over (oh pun in there) until we can cement the pond sides and plasticise and coat it with tar stuff in the summer.
The rat man cometh :evil: :evil:
Reduced to this poor ducks :cry:
My daughter was here at the weekend and her staffie had a fine time chasing the rats and managed to kill several of them for me. I have not seen any today so he must have put them off temporarily but I know they are still round somewhere.
