fracking animal planet in my backyard. have a window well and a little bunny was stuck down there today. thought about grabbing him and skinning him and starting a fire with a camera lense like they did on the kody/army guy survival guy show to cook him. then thought i'd just grab him and let him out. would his parents take him back though? he'd smell all human and stuff. took a sierra nevada pale ale twelve pak box and forced him to jump in and them picked the box up and put it in the yard and let him out.
w/in the last year i've had frog(s), snake(s), a mouse, a hamsteresque type creature, and now a baby bunny down there. i asked bsac if he'd purchase a weatherproof camera out of the site profits and we could stream animal type footage for the site. haven't heard back. thoughts? ideas? suggestions?

yeah. no doubt. i'd want a rotating camera that i could control w/ a remote control type device though. that's not cheap. there's the hold up. had some kind of ladybug invasion last year as well. insane.

post pics of the snake and rodents. tia.
snakes have all been garter snakes from my untrained eye. most small, some kinda big though. mowed the yard about a month ago and saw three. one popped out of his hole at an incredibly inopportune (sp?) time and i ran over him. total accident. i'm mowing a straight line in my byard and he just hops his head and body up the eff out of no where two feet in front of the mower. surprised the hell out of me. felt bad.
rodents, not so sure. field mouse or something i'm guessing on one. the other one was weird. really weird. don't know what it was. not a mouse. not a rat. will def start taking pix of these fuckers though. may start charging for tours or something.

hmmmm, not sure. don't remember a long tail of any type from memory. didn't really look like either from what i remember. it was last year that we had the weirdo though. will check w/ people who saw him more than i did. ithey seemed to have an idea of what he could've been. maybe give me names/options and i could figure it out.
it was like a constant zoo last year, cause the basement window looked directly into the small well area. non stop animal viewing. threw a branch down there for the snake to help him get out. didn't know if he'd need it or not but he liked to hang out on it. eventually left.
-
the second one has a v. short tail. probably what he was, although there are a couple of other short-tailed options (look pretty similar).
prairie vole - really, really common on the prairie, but you don't see them in town that much.

yeah. dunno. i mean, i'm in town, but i'm kinda not. big fields all around me. did not mention the v small weird frog type thing that was down w/ the mini rabbit today. i did not rescue him. not sure why looking back on it. should have. also did not look normal froggy type. i will go back today and take pix and rescue it if appropriate.
also will show pix above to people who were more familiar w/ him and report back.

might not be a bad idea to leave the frog as mini rabbit bait. just a suggesto.

We've trapped two bats in my house in the last week.

Clearly mini-rabbits lull mini-frogs into a false sense of security. At the end of the day, its a heartless rough ridin' killer though.

Wow, think about the upcoming FamilyReunionPak. All the elites decked out in wristbands (serious) and helmet necklaces, Pete warming up the helium tank to make another 50 balloons, and newshound coming down the block to join the festivities only to be greeted by a mole wearing a KSTATEO shirt. This is going to be great.

Guys, I think rd has made up this frog thing. Seems like we'd have seen evidence by now. Mods?

Being from Manhattan, I pretty much know every animal in that area, and I've never seen one of these frogs.

I had been staying out of this this thread because I KNEW where it was going. Frogs? Really, Rick?

if it'd been the mini rabbit, he'd be there trapped, right? so it had to have been a full sizer.
tough luck. get another mini frog and try again?

:surprised: I had a mini-bunny that got trapped in my window well too, and I've got pictures, I was just thinking about breaking it's lil mini-bunny neck and tossing it in the weeds but my heart is just too big, and I was worried about the smell of a human, mommy-bunny not taking it back thing too, but I just put on a leather glove and picked him up and put him in the weeds. I've also had 2 mice down there, but I just beat the hullabaloo out of them with a shovel (call me bear grylls) and threw their dead bodies into the undeveloped lot next to my house. Was thinking about buying a plastic cover thing so I don't have to worry about stupid animals getting stuck down there.
And bro you do NOT want moles they will make all kinds of bumps in your yard and you'll have to put out mole killin traps, just kill the thing, (I would recommend a shovel)

Rick Daris, do you own a BB gun or pellet rifle of some sort? One time a frog got stuck in one of those window well things at my friends house. Well anyway, my friend got his BB gun and loaded, like, 10 BB's into the chamber and pumped a crap load of times. Shot it through the head, killing it instantly. I felt kind of bad but pretended like I thought it was awesome and stuff.

re pellet gun: i think i might. not 100%. when i was little i had one and i shot a cardinal (red bird) in my backyard and it was all half dead freaking out on the ground and then i went and shot it a couple of more times to kill it cause i felt bad about it freaking out and all. decided then that i'd never kill another animal on purpose. obviously spiders, bugs and other non amimals don't really count.

You probably should have (no homo)ed this post.

Same for me. Shot some sparrows as a kid and then really got bummed about it. I usually even let bugs out the door if they aren't going sting crazy on me.

One time there was a box turt (FULL GROWN!) in my back yard. Its shell was caved in, bloody and there were fruit flies/maggots that had infested his wound. He was moving at a crawl (even for a box turt) and I freaked out and went rifling through the yellow pages. I got animal control and pleaded with them to come get him, and they were pretty noncommittal. I don't remember if they straight up lied to me, but I think they said they were really busy or that he was probably already gone or a good excuse to tell a grade schooler. When I went back out to hold his hand as the lights went out he was gone. I think he probably went to the compost pile or the woods or the neighbor's garden to die.
