Got to the yard late tonight and as usual jess was waiting for her tea, no sign of hank but it was dark so figured he was just taking his time coming up so went about putting the kettle on for speedibeet.
Then realised the net of carrots I brought last night were gone, I fed about 4 carrots out of it yesterday and this is all that was left tonight
The net is shredded and nothing left. Im used to rats/mice nibbling on a few this time of year but what on earth can devour an entire net in 24 hours? Ive seen a small cat get in my feed room through a gap in the wall but my jack Russell couldnt get out and he could escape from almost anywhere and the door was locked shut and the alarm was armed.
Then I hear hank come up, but he was 2 paddocks over from where he was meant to be with Jess, admittedly the elec fences weren't on but thats because neither ever go anywhere near them, let alone him pushing under 2 (both were still up and taught).
So went to put jess in for tea and shes arguing about going in (loose but I normally just say in and she goes, tonight I had to chase and grab her to put her in) then shes all eyes on stalks, snorting and staring accross to the field I found hank in, very unlike her, eventually I had to let her eat outside.
All very odd, glad I didnt need to hang around too long on my own tonight.
