Because of this, every time I'd come to check on things, I'd find another dead animal inside, drowned because it couldn't get out. The last straw was when I opened the lid and saw two drowned squirrels at the bottom.
To fix the problem, I left the lid off and decided to move it behind the goat shed so it would catch the runoff from the roof. I'm planning on putting a rain gutter in there at some point to funnel it all in. I also put a log in there, so any trapped critters can get out. Sawyer is my model, showing how a trapped squirrel would get out.
