I've Seen It All Now!

I can go peacefully. 8)

[Allegra]

Once I had this dream that I was living the song "I Don't Like Mondays" by the Boomtown Rats. The song was playing all through the dream and the story was playing out in front of me. It was really weird and then I woke up and...it was Monday!

I hate it when that happens.

You have a mushroom that eats squirrels?

[ApplegateRanch]

They have cast iron guts. Rat poison (usually) doesn't kill them. Gopher poison (usually) doesn't kill them.

They can eat massive amounts of most poisons, and survive, asking for more.

Squirrels have a short digestive tract that allows them to handle many foods that humans cannot. Because the foods are not in the system long enough to make a difference, trace amounts of poison found in acorns, mushrooms and other problematic natural foods do not bother squirrels.

Anti-coagulation poisons need to be fed to ground squirrels on a daily basis for at least five consecutive days in order to be effective. If you have pets or children, these poisons should be in appropriately safe bait-containers.
