The mole nest: The male and female will build a nest after breeding to raise the young.
it’s a 40 cm high, 20 cm wide chamber with a solid vaulted ceiling.
The nest is made up of several galleries, to enable the mole to evacuate quickly in the event of danger (escape gallery).
The center of the nest is made of dead leaves to receive the young.
The deepest gallery acts as a drain, so that even in heavy rain, you’ll always stay dry.
The mole nest is easily identifiable on the surface of the ground: it’s often the largest molehill.
It is assumed that moles intentionally line their nests with damp grass to generate heat through fermentation.
Tip: Never trap near the nest, as the mole is even more wary.
