sunnyvalley said:I had to google 'gophers' - we don't have them. Those teeth look like they could do an awful lot of damage! The only thing we have is hedgehogs! Everyone comments on how lucky we are and they would love to have them in the garden but they are making one hell of a mess of my lawn right now!! But roses and iris are not on the menu thank goodness.

We get hedgehogs, too, Sharlene, also moles, badgers, foxes, occasional deer and rabbits, of course. But hedgehogs are good - they love to eat slugs so are a gardener's friend. They are also on the endangered species list. I don't think they burrow - they have certainly never burrowed here. Are you sure you don't have rabbits, moles or even a racoon (which apparently are spreading through Europe)? Or marmots, which we have seen on the mountains when walking in Switzerland?
