Digging up live animals?

[Scimitar]

I was trying to dig a hole but I dug out LIVE ANIMALS (two mice and a gecko) after digging in the spot for a while. Does this happen a lot?

More information? Was there already a hole on that square?

Live animals are not supposed to randomly spawn when you dig.

I don't really understand the situation. Is it a possibility (at all) that the mice and gecko may have been in squares nearby you and moved to your square while you were digging around?
I've never heard anything about digging living creatures from the ground.

I've dug up baby mice when I was a fox digging a hole in the same square as a burrow. Maybe that's what happened with you?

[Scimitar]

There weren't any near me and there were no holes in the ground.

mabey their hole collapsed when they were in there and you dug 'em up? i did that once... i was a fox and i was digging for a hole by the lake, i dug on the rock and then loads of baby rattle snakes came out, they all had low health and were thirsty and hungry, i didn't get a really cloes look 'cos i ran, i thought they were going to poisan me... i was new to the game back then...but now im more experianced...

That's peculiar... Possibly a glitch that makes one hole a few squares away's animals inside appeared there, or as Shadow said, their hole probably collapsed as they were in when NPC parents were out 'looking for food,' and you dug them up, freeing them? It's never hapened to me, but I'll be on the lookout to see...

Ooo, I wonder what it'd be like x]

[sparkwolf111]

if this was in spring its possible they moved onto the square since there to small to see

[Alias]

Oh well, you can't expect to know all of WEO's secrets, I'm agreeing with sparkwolf111.

[Scarikas]

Why doesn't WEO post on things like this anymore?

[Alias]

You can blame the schools. And homework. Oh Bob, I haven't done my homework... *Sigh*
