This might sound like a dumb question has anyone ever had either a mouse or mole disturb the dirt in your inside potted pepper plants?I ask this because each morning i get up dirt has been removed from pots and is all over the counter.plants are not damaged just dirt kicked up.I am not finding any droppings and it seams to be only three plants.I've also set traps around with no results in catching anything.

Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

either may if they think there going to find something to eat, i have both in my garden full time and have holes all over, its a hunting ground for every cat ferrel or not in my neighborhoodfirchf1 said:
my friends cat always brings the mice and moles home and put them on his porch
yeah either might do it but my money with be more on the moles at this point the worms go deep when it gets this cold and i see your from PA so yeah moles would be my guess it could be a final hurrah but for the moles the hard times have begun
however Moles are not good climmers like mice are and it could very well be a mouse is using your pot for a (LARDER) or food storage area, the soil was prolly soft enough for digging too
its really hard to say wich without tearing the pot apart and it you do and find food in a cavity them it was mice
thanks your friend Joe
A mole wouldn't survive long inside at all, must be a mouse. Anything else (like a chipmunk) would make themselves known pretty quick!
