Cute is in the eye of the beholder, but they do keep my garden free of snails, slugs , and grubs. Unfortunately, they sometimes overturn pots in their search. They are also fond of avocados, and have been known to break limbs trying to get to them. I also caught one in the act of draining my hummingbird feeder! They do love cat food! These little guys thought they were going to eat with the cats (the cats thought different). When they got bigger, I trapped them and took them to the wild, near a resevoir.
