I was surprised to find a vole in some grass in the wetlands who appeared to be munching on a foxglove flower. But here's the thing-- Foxglove (digitalis) is highly poisonous! Much online research suggests that voles don't have an immunity, so he was either not eating the flower, or the flower was not foxglove, or he's no longer with us. I'll go with either option 1 or 2.

What a cutie. I am sure he is still roaming about :-D
He certainly looks as if he is munching on what ever the flower is. Fingers crossed.
That is so sad to read about it. That is natural selection process
I would like to go with option #1 please. I am surprised this vole posted for a photo. They are shy creatures because they are mostly on the menu for so many creatures.
Esperemos que la flor no fuese la que tu indicas.
Uh oh. Poor little guy, but what else could the flower be?
Yo creo que tienen una sabiduría natura que les hace saber que puede y no pueden comer. Por eso, al igual que tú, me inclino por una de las dos primeras opciones.
Un abrazo.
Yo creo que tiene ya conocimiento de las plantas y sabe distinguir entre las comestibles y las venenosas.
Un abrazo.
