@Nonya_Bidniss@infosec.exchange as far as I know the claim about ticks comes from a lab study from 2009 which was not confirmed. Later studies of stomach content of wild individuals did not confirm that found no ticks in the diet.

@kopimi@mstdn.social @Nonya_Bidniss@infosec.exchange @Tarnport@mastodon.green They do eat ticks as well as whatever other bugs are around, but the ~5000 was an estimation based on an experiment when they were put in a box with nothing but ticks. So yeah. Still worth not harming or killing!
