Wish I had taken photos. I had filled the big pots on the front porch. Planted caladiums and had a stick where they were located. Came out a few days later and the pots were half full and all thye dirt was on the porch.
What ever did this must have teetred on the rim and just dug with both arms head down,left a wide scatter pattern.
Next morning the pots on the deck end were half empty.
I mixed our hosehold compost with potting soil,that must have been whet attracted the kritter.
It was a nocturnal animal.
