I have a question?
If its winter n Novia Scotia then maybe the animals won't want to come out, Right?
What is the differanc between mice and voles? Those are very cute videos i would love to be there and feel the fur and how soft it is.
MK Period 1
the mouse was sooooooooooooooooo cute!
i bet he was soo happy when he got out.

why don't the voles/ mice want to get out of the trap?

I think if the voles are smart then they will keep coming back to the traps because they know they will get food and such. That could be the case if you keep catching the same one. We miss you!!!!
kt period 3
TT 1st period
Mrs. Krekeler, I think it is so cool how you cought all those animals. I am inspired by seeing what you do and whish i could do the same thing one day. I think that it was so cute how you cought all the animals and that they were so cute. I can't wait till you get back so we can here more about you trip. I hope you are having fun. I have a question, what does it feel like doing what you are doing? Trapping the animals then letting them go? I hope it doesn't rain to much while you are there. See you soon.
The mouse is so cute Mrs. Krekeler!
Is there any diferencwe between them?
That is so cool how you release the vole at the same spot you captured it. I think it would be cool if we could see a video of you taking a vole out of the trap and putting it into the plastic bag.
FT Period:5
hey Mrs. Krekeler
I want to know if the voles or other animals like to be in the rain or do they stay in their homes.
RR Period 2
Hey, MRs. Krekeler!
Sounds like a fun week! Why do you think you didnt catch any voles? OR have you? I'm really confused!
~e.k.5~
The videos are very cool!!! it seems like you are having a great time! I have 1 question though what is the difference between a mouse and a vole? RAH 4th

Dear Mrs. Krekeler,
I have a question, wouldn't most of the animals be in hibernation.
P.E. Period 3
Hi Mrs Krekeler,
It looks like you are having fun catching and releasing voles but why are you catching them? What is the purpose of catching them?

Are the traps dangerous for the little mammals? I know some traps are made to capture animals and make sure they don't escape which sometimes even hurts them. The voles look a lot like mice on the videos. I think that if they are smart, they will continue to come back to the trap so they can get food and a warm place to sleep.

That was some nice videos you filmed. But this douse not have to do with the rock cycle. But i have to emit, the mouse was cute.
Ja period 4
wow!! those voles/mice or whatever they are, are all sooooo cute!!! but what IS the difference between a mouse and a vole?
--M.s.C 4th!!
if i was a mouth i would go into all of the traps so i could have food but i wouldnt know if i was going to be let out even if i had done it before because some animals have very short memory

Hey Mrs.Krekeler!
I always thought a vole was like a big rodent or something. Have fun.
SB period 2
I wanted to let you know that the traps do not harm the animals.
From the video I made, you can see we put hay, food, and apple in the traps. The hay is for bedding and insulation. This keeps the animal warm until we check the trap. The food is for the animals. Their metabolism rate is high enough that they will need the food. The apple is a source of water for them.
The animals that go in the traps are only big enough for the traps; big animals can't fit in. The trap is just a door that closes. It is light.
There is plenty of room between the door trigger (part they step on to close the door) and the door. The actual trap is about three times bigger than the animal. The tunnel where the trap door part is located is very long.
Don't worry--I would never hurt an animal or participate in something that would hurt them.
There are a few animals that are scared too much and those are shrews. I forgot to mention that there are shrews here. They are VERY small mammals. Our traps have an escape hole that is big enough for only shrews. If the shrew were caught it would either be too frightened or it would starve to death (they have to eat every 2-3 hours).
The videos are great!!! The videos make me feel like I was there too, I hope you can make more video!

that second vole release was so cool. it reminded me of when i released a kanaroo rat i had caught in a sticky trap i guess it liked me because i played with it before it ran off.

mlvs period 2
Hey Mrs. Krekler,

hi,
I love all of the videos and i also love the mouse and voles. The animals seem really small about how small were they? The traps seem pretty cool, i would love to see one on action.
