There is a big difference in the size if the mouth on these critters. The mole has a small mouth compared to the stick of gum. What happens to him is that the gum gets stuck on the hairs around his mouth, and sticks his mouth shut. This critter eventually starves to death. The mouth on a hawg is a lot bigger. Byron
