Expert: Stephen Vantassel Date: 7/16/2008 Subject: 2-3 inch holes in yard, San Antonio, Texas
Question Just a couple days ago, we spotted two holes in our front lawn about 2-3 inches wide, and we're curious as to what could have dug them. Any ideas what would be common for our area that might have done this? I know there are armadillos, skunks, and squirrels here, but we haven't seen a single one in our neighborhood since we moved here 1 1/2 yrs ago. Possible it could be one of those even though we haven't seen any here? Also they are not near the house, but rather close to one of our trees (also only about 1 1/2 old). It seems funny that it would be frogs doing this, but those we have seen a few of here lately. Any help would be greatly appreciated. ::Laura::
Answer Unfortunately need more information. Are they true holes as in they disappear or are they merely scooped out depressions?
