Garden Fountain

Was working yesterday and today not...

WTF did that, no sign of a body anywhere so must have been done when the fountain was off (it's on a timer).

Andi.

I have had the same problem with my electric gates, mine was mice. An electrician told me they are attracted to the magnetic field in the wires.

Squirrels go for the lights in one of our trees, the damage looks very similar to your photo.

Unlikely as they also chew the wiring in cars, I think it's part of keeping their teeth worn down as the teeth grow constantly.

Rats,mice,etc.

I've seen a rat chew through a live mains cable in a garden, it was thrown a feet from the cable, but wasn't killed by the shock, just a bit shook up.
