The present study investigated how to trap and keep moles (Mogera wogura) and shrewmoles (Urotrichus talpoides). We developed a new type of live-trap for moles and shrew-moles. With these live-traps, we could catch easily moles and shrew-moles. We developped an equiment for housing moles. The accomodation consisted of three parts, a nest-box, an activity area and a foodbox. The activity area consisted of a flat box (approx. 70×50cm) filled to a depth of 4-8cm with fine, light soil. We noticed the dried-dog food is suitable for moles'food, and we could rear both moles and shrew-moles successfully only with the dried-dog food and water in captivity. The method seems to supersede any previous attempt to keep captive moles alive long, more than 20 months.
