today I went to my loft and saw one of black and white roller 25 footer all torn up and dead on the floor while the others were okay...it wasnt just torn up but also the head and one of its chest were gone...I saw this little 3-4 in gap on the wires. My first time having this kind of incident, what usually cause this kind of thing?...my yard don't really have animals around...will it come back for more...and yes I lock my loft

Sorry for the loss. Weasels will rip 'em up but a weasel will not just take one, they will kill almost the whole loft and the only eat about one. Seal it up as fast as you can because it will come back whatever it was..

Even then if the hole wasn't stretched.. it couldn't of gotten through.. Even it's head didn't get through.. I think it could of been a rat.

you mean possum? yeah that's could very well be.. I can see a dove, but I don't a roller though actually.. They usually just eat mice don't they?
