Patf Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Could be mice. My piano had a lot of internal damage to felts and wires, caused by mice. The repairer said it was quite a common thing to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 We had a lizard trapped in a spare bedroom and it chewed the bottom of a wardrobe. I agree with the above though the culprits are probably mice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyh4 Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Potential candidates:Mice (as above)Dormice - LoirLoiret - not sure what this is in English but a bit like a cross between a chipmonk and a loir. Never heard of lizzards having a liking for cable so I would discount that idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teeny Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share Posted September 8, 2010 Thankyou Andy and Jimmy! I thought I may have heard mice if they were the culprit.Bit flummoxed bout the dragonflie lights hanging from the tree-that only happened when I was in Uk for 3 weeks-that's why I thought possibly lizards!Not sure what to do about it now!!

Loiseau Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I have often heard that dormice chew through your wires. Angela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
