We normally have the usual assortment of birds, mice, shrews, frogs, rats and bats...but last night we had a worm :sick: You'd be amazed at how much mess one of those makes when it's been played with in the hallway! :sick:
-
:evillaugh: Mine frequently bring them in! I usually only find the dried up version though! :sick: :hug:
-
Where do they find them? I don't really ever see worms lurking around on the surface!
-
Well we have a concreted back garden and when it rains there are loads that flood in from next doors lawn! ;) :sick:
-
I think its when it has been raining heavy and the worms surface, then the cats grab them ;D
-
Yep I bet there's loads about our lawn has loads of tiny blobs of dirt like miniature mole holes when it rains and they surface. I once read that when birds peck at the grass the worms surface thinking it's rain, not sure how true it is though.

Birds walk back and forth on the grass to immitate the rain! :wow: Mayby FB's puds have been watching the birds to closely! :rofl: :hug:

Yeuch!! Worms!!
I used to really, really hate them! :sick:
I remember my brother stirring up a mixture of washing up liquid and water and pouring it onto a corner of our lawn in the back garden (My Dad would have gone mad if he had seen him)!
I didnt know what he was doing. Just as well!! The idea was to catch worms .... :shify:
The washing up liquid irritates their skins and they all come up to the surface :tired:
Then you can catch the worms :wow:
Id like to say that he was going to use the worms for fishing (at least that would have been vaguely understandable, then)
But no - the worms were to chase me and my friends with!!! :evillaugh:
-
Just thought of a song we as kids used to sing! :sick: (I must of been a very sick child!) :shocked: :rofl: :hug:

I was told off as a child for collecting worms and snails and putting them down our outside drain that the kitchen sink went into. :-[
