Voles have a big appetite and eat anything they can get their paws on, including fruit, nuts, small plants, and animal carcasses.
- House Mouse. Commonly brown or grey, house mice have small bodies, oversized ears, and long tails that are typically double the length of their bodies. They are drawn to enclosed environments that are well hidden, such as sheds, barns, underbrush, dog houses, dark corners, etc.
