okay, what critter did this ?!?


I dropped several new seed packets into a bucket on the patio. Three days later I go to retrieve the packets so I can plant the seed.

WTH? A corner has been nibbled off each packet, and there are no seeds inside!!!

Who did this?

from a half a mile away. I once witnessed a groundhog amble up my long driveway, onto the carport, and jump face-first into a empty 5 gallon bucket next to the house.
I was shocked for a moment as that's not the sort of behavior I'd ever seen before.
I realized later there were a few sunflower seeds left in the bottom of the bucket.

You probably delighted some mouse with some exotic cuisine.
