Any self-respecting heron should be able to get that harpoon-like beak through that mesh, no problems!<br /><br />Seriously, I kind of like the fact that they try to make sure you will be able to look after the fish, but as you say, there they are selling mice - and probably live insects - for reptiles and to my mind they really don't have a leg to stand on ... rather like your fish, really, but unlike the herons!<br /><br />BTW, we don't use a mesh. Herons like to wade into water, so we simply string wires across the water about three inches in from the edge and about two inches above the surface.

At the end of the school year I sent a note home with the kids to find one whose parents were willing to have them take the fish over the summer--since I had two cats. <br /><br />Two little cousins--Rebecca and Michelle--came with a note, and on the last day of school we packed the fish up and I drove the girls home with them.<br /><br />Later on, I happened to come by during summer school and I asked the girls how the fish were doing. They were silent.<br /><br />When the new year started, I asked about getting the fish back. "My aunt's cat ate them."<br /><br />Michelle works at one of the restaurants we visit somewhat regularly. We laugh about it.Katneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13399336885633739593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17218624.post-43018658945603394592013-05-12T23:42:08.633+01:002013-05-12T23:42:08.633+01:00Oh gee, I see what you mean.
