After occasionally seeing Asian House Shrew at my house in Phuket (Thailand) I started putting out protein food pellets (Mynah pet food) for them. Since Dec 2024 a shrew has been coming in each evening, usually just before sunset, and taking the pellets. It is probably unusual for these shrews to appear regularly like this, and I have filmed it a few times (links given below). In Jan 2025 (Episode #3) I placed my phone 20 cm from the pellets giving close-up footage and audio; you can hear the squeak it gives each time it takes a pellet.
