Default Holes in the lawn

Yep. Over 100 years old floorboards - in some places I can see the
light of the cellar.

Pulling on a slow worm is a bad idea since, like other lizards, one of
its defence mechanisms is to shed its tail.


Hence the 'orrible stuff. Mind, it happened only a few times. But I
deal on a daily basis with ordinary worms ...

Are you sure you mean slow worms?


I'm worried now. What do you mean if I'm sure. I don't think it was an
anaconda if that's what you mean LOL!! And it's not 'all the time'
that Lilly brings me the slow worms, only sometimes - my fight is with
ordinary worms too and anything long, wire like she brings in, even
used cotton buds, and sadly sometimes they're not ours .... Disgusting
lil' cat she is!

Can anybody advise the likely cause of 10-15mm diameter holes in the
lawn? They look as though something has come out, but I haven't seen
anything.
