Woa! I missed this one! Now I'm curious...what IS that mystery creature??!! LOL LOL Need some help, or backup support?? LOL LOL Have you been able to get near it? One time when I (illegally) had mice in my dorm room in college, I came back to my room only to find they had all escaped! I had 3! I was so scared that they would get out of my room and scare the people in the dorms! Of course if the mystery rodents were traced back to me, then I would have been in BIG trouble. Anyway, I blocked the bottom of my door with a towel that night and turned their glass tank on it's side and put a bunch of food and treats in there. When I heard some scrabbling noises, I looked and lo and behold they had gone back into the tank to retrieve the snacks, so I tipped the tank back upright...and wha-la...I had my mice back again!! LOL LOL I suppose in a situation like the one you're in, if this critter isn't too scared of people and you notice it outside again...go out there with some rodent food, seeds, or treats and something to trap it with (maybe a large plastic bowl or something, and a very thin but sturdy piece of cardboard). If you can get out there and give it some kibble close enough to you, you can quickly put the bowl over it, then slip the cardboard under the bowl to the critter is concealed and you can move it into a more appropriate place. That probably didn't make any sense just now! LOL LOL Anyway, let me know if you need any help! LOL LOL Keep us posted
