Re: Holes in hoses

Whatever it is, it's probably going after the salts used in  
manufacturing.  Racoons are my first guess.  We had a piece of old  
barn wood - four inches thick, that was obliterated by some animal. It  
was stored near a salt lick for many years.  Opossums are also on my  
hit list.  They do a good deal of digging and chewing. The best one  
was top of  the cap of the a bottle of super thrive that was chewed  
off and the animal drank
it all without spilling a drop on cardboard box that was under it. The  
metal caps on those bottles are thin as paper.  That had to have been  
a coon.
