I'm charmed by it! :) I put down food after it's midday forage. Oh, I tell myself this is so it won't have to go into my pantry and start pulling things apart, but... yeah. I just like having a shrew. :)

Last time we had a shrew it ate corn chips with peanut butter on them, but possibly it only ate the peanut butter because it was ON the corn chips, because this shrew has ignored cashew butter in favour of real cashews, cranberries, and cheese. But even when it ate some cheese it went foraging all around the kitchen for other things.

On that evening forage Eor got a good look at it, and he's almost as charmed as I am. Or possibly he's delighted with the fact that I'm charmed, I'm not sure. :) As a general rule he doesn't believe that wild animals belong in his house, but where it IS scavenging bits of chips he's dropped beneath his desk and hasn't been able to get at (it's not easy to clean, back there), well, he also sort of feels the dear has a purpose.
