Was woken up at about 3.30am by my daughter last night saying she was hearing strange noises from the garden.. her bedroom is at the rear and mine is the front so hadnt heard anything.
We heard thumping, and then strange scratchy noises, so we flicked the floodlight on and could see the end of the garden with Pickle/Pootle accommodation and all was quiet... we were about to turn the light off when we saw a fox :shock::shock::shock::shock: It was walking down from Twinkle/Sparkle's accommodation towards the end of the garden and jumped up onto the run of Pickle/Pootle and was digging trying to get in..
We ran downstairs and out into the garden to scare it away.. which it did, but left me and my daughter quite upset and scared... Luckily the fox couldnt get in, and all bunnies are fine this morning, but it has shocked me.
Think I kidded myself they couldnt get in because all fences are 6ft. Never seen one in the garden, so just kept telling myself they didnt come in... now I know different
How many nights have the bunnies had to go through being "hunted" in their own homes?? They must dread nightfall
I have padlocks on every opening, have double mesh on one of the runs and covered over, and the other run is boarded over of a night but I still worry.
I will get some better quality boarding today as I was planning to make better night time doors for the runs anyway so will just speed things up a bit.
Is there anything else I can do?
