Moles Moles Scalopus aquaticus and other spp. The fore feet are enlarged and have stout claws. They are pink but are covered with fur in 14 days. They also feed on millipedes, slugs, snails, and earthworm cocoons.
Moles also feed on carrion.
However, as they tunnel along in their surface runs, moles damage turf roots and may destroy newly seeded lawns. In established turf, the mower may skin the tops of the runs and dull the mower as well as create gaps in the sod. Moles also tunnel deep, and they throw the excavated soil out of the opening thus forming mole hills. Most moles are born in April and May, although some are born from February through June. Five weeks later, the young are weaned and begin to fend for themselves.
