Armadillo in the Backyard

Well, you just never know what will show up in your backyard in Florida. My dogs were barking their heads off and I went outside. I thought it was a turtle in my yard but nope, it was an armadillo.

I had noticed for a few weeks that there holes in my yard where an animal had been digging and Calvin told me it was an armadillo who was doing the damage to our so-called lawn. I say that because right now it is a sandy, brown-grassed yard. No rain.

I have been looking up information about armadillos and they appear to be rather destructive. My daughter and I are going to figure out some way to catch the animal and then release it somewhere else near water. I have a fishing throw net that we could possibly throw on it. Then there is always the option of buying a cage to catch it in. Ace’s Hardware has one. Maybe I will look at it and see if I can build one myself. lol

I will keep you guys updated.
