    This is a new one for me. I did lots of repotting today and stumbled across this. I don't know if it's recent or over the winter and I just found it. Plastic must taste yummy.

    They never ate the plant though huh....squirrels are just as dumb as those rats.

    Years ago my in-laws purchased a beach house from foreclousure and when we went down to work on it originally we wanted to redo all the the electrical wiring as it wasn't in the best of coditions so I brought my generator along for a power source. Well we chained it to a tree in the back yard and the next day we went out to start it up and all we could smell was gas. The stupid squirrels ate holes in the plastic gas tank all the way through and drained the gas out of it!

    How tasty could that have been!
