Please fill blank
Dd (22)and her bf don't know this obvious (to me when I grew up) fact

Mice don't like cheese very much, it's too strong tasting. Mine liked sunflower seeds. Just thought you would like to know

Mice like chocolate. I have caught many mice with a piece of Dairy Milk in a humane trap.

An elephant in the safari park near us died recently, electrocuted. It stood on a bun and the current went up its leg

They are fruit and veg eaters. We have fed the ones at Colchester Zoo too (many moons ago). That was what was provided for them.

For your troubles you got a liberal smearing of elephant snot all over your hands.

I love elephants.

Definitely currant buns.

I had a lovely book as a child, about a boy going to the zoo, an elephant rescuing someone and the boy rewarding the elephant with currant buns. Wish I could remember the name of it.

elephants eat bums?!!!

WaggleBee, surely you mean The Elephant and The Bad Baby?

Which doesn't involve good deeds but does involve an elephant eating buns!

I thought of buns immediately, we must have all read the same books and/or watched Johnny Morris...
My mice like peanut butter.
Bears might like honey, but Paddington liked marmalade sandwiches. He was a singular type of bear, though.

Asbo, that dad joke was desperate!!

Trunky want a bun?

Cats, on the other hand, love cheese

sleepsoftly :) :) Thanks for the heads-up re scallops. Good to know.

Leaves/plants

Buns!

The elephants at the zoo in my city love fresh bamboo. Every six months when we cull back the massive bamboo wall in out garden, we are allowed to deliver it to the zoo for the elephants to eat. Has to be cut on the same day they eat it tho as they are fussy!

My mum used to say (when someone was scoffing expensive food and not savouring it) 'It's like feeding an elephant strawberries'. Only much later I understood it to mean it was wasted on them.

(but I always thought they ate strawberries )

Johnny Morris you say?

Peanuts! I've never heard of them liking buns

I vaguely remember Miffy feeding the elephant at the zoo buns in one of my Miffy books as a child, and obviously Miffy would never lie.

Patriarchal Sadly not that one though that looks lovely. Thanks. I can remember the pictures better than the story. Think someone got stuck down a big hole/ditch...It's probably still at my parent's somewhere.

We have a very loud and very friendly elephant in out family called Helfie.

I've just asked him and she says, without hesitation, the answer is Sticky Buns..

TheAnswerIsYes:

You probably caught the same mouse again and again who worked out how to get some chocolate!

The book I mentioned was called 'Roger and the Elephant'. The name just came to me and a google confirms it's the one. Obviously not just elephants who never forget.
