moles

Hi all,
As usall Johnboy is correct moles/rats/rabbits do not like Weasel's but as they very hard to catch :wink: What you should do is find someone with a ferret and ask for some of there bedding and place in the run and that should do the trick (Honest) :)

Best of Luck

Galinsoga Parviflora

Hi Chantal,
I have to admit I have never heard of this plant before , I had a look on Google and the there is a lot of info about your invader. It's common name is Gallant Soldier, and it's from the Asteraceae family, also known as Quickweed.

Hope this is of some help
