I'm sure it's probably been mentioned lots of times on forums about securing hutches and sheds against predators but sadly I have had a huge increase in the number of people contacting me to say their hutches/sheds have been broken into by badgers or foxes.
In most instances all the guinea pigs have died One lady had 8 guineas living in a summer house and a determined badger got in and killed all but one. They have lived in there for over five years and never had a problem.
I notice many hutches are sold with swivel closings and I just dont think they can be secure enough. Predators are feeding their young just now and will go to any length to find food.
It's up to all of us to properly secure our outdoor accommodation.
