Please can I take a moment to remind all of you of the importance of fox proofing your rabbit's houses.
On Tuesday evening my beautiful angel Jessica was cruely taken from me by a fox on a mission to kill. I had only turned my back for 5 minutes whilst I went to get her some water. She was in her run at the time which is 10ft x 8ft and the fox completely trashed the run and took her from it. He then left her on the floor. I ran in to get my mum and he then paraded her past my lounge window. He continued then dropped her in the middle of the road. He did keep trying to come back for her but we managed to keep him away whilst we took Jessica - he was not going to kill her and take her to 'play with'.
On Wednesday I saw the fox again down my road, with a guinea pig in his mouth. Molly is now staying in my room until I completely fox proof the area, including his hutch now going in an aviary and electric wire to go round the outside.
I'm not inending to scare you all or anything, I just want to remind you that foxes will strike at any time given an opportunity. Unfortunately I was too late to save Jessica but if this has taught me anything it is never to be complacent and ignore the fact we have foxes prepared to kill in broad daylight.
I'm not ready to write in Rainbow Bridge just yet but I am ready to try and warn others of the lengths a fox will go.
