The mole has relatively large nutrition needs and consumes approximately its body weight every single day. To make it through the winter months, they will store up earthworms in a storage area inside their tunnels. This storage area can be made up of hundreds of worms that are available to be eaten. To prevent the worms from crawling away, the mole will chew off their front. However, the earthworm will still be alive and consumed later when the mole requires nutrition.
