Pond killed a chipmunk

connorlindeman · May 23, 2022

On friday i went to check the water sprite in my outdoor 20g pond and saw something at the bottom.

Upon closer inspection, i saw it was a chipmunk in a standing position on the bottom of the pond :-(

I took a shovel and scooped him out and it was too late for him.

RIP

you can get a metal mesh to cover the pond if possible

I was thinking Chip and Dale.

I am not a happy joyful Disney pond, get out of me or die

When we were kids the council used to fog the neighbourhood at dusk to kill mosquitoes. We used to close the doors and windows to stop the poison coming inside. One day the fogger came round and my sister tried to close the window but it wouldn't shut. They tried and tried and couldn't. Then mum went in to see what was going on and the new kitten was stuck between the window and flyscreen. It wasn't nice.

Isn't it enough to place some rocks / wood to get out when fallen in.

Would’ve never thought that would happen. Crazy, unlucky coincidence.

Wonder if I get a big enough one my neighbours cat will do the same

Last year, I found a dead juvenile rat in one of my outdoor tubs. I just wanted to remove some leaves that were floating in there. And I felt something very soft against the back of my hand. Turned out to be a young rat that was drowned. I've scooped it out and buried it deep.

We used to ride our bikes behind the "mosquito truck", to play in the "fog" it put out...maybe that's what's wrong with me?
