Digging boxes...

My Jack really loves to dig :roll:
His favourite place to dig is right by the door to his run, so much so I have had to cover his dig site up because he is nearly through and out the otherside of the door, they free range when I am about but I can't risk them being out when I am not.

I tried putting in a tray of compost once, and Jack got some in his eye which caused and Ulcar and a cut which became and abcess. I am now scared to give him another compost digging box. Is there anything else I can try in there? Or do you think it was a freak accident that probably won't happen again?

I hate blocking up his dig hole but I can't have him out and about when I am not there.
 
I would mesh under the run to stop him digging out.

I would probably give him a new digging box, try filling it with topsoil instead though. There's lots of bits and pieces in compost :?

You can see a new digging box I've made on the left here:

It's a 4ft water trough I bought off eBay :)
