I have just seen a fox in my garden!
We know they roam the nearby streets and last year they attacked and killed one of my cats!
I have never ever seen them in my garden. It is not a cut through, we back on to a school with very high fences and are basically a dead end. My neighbour has been building next door and taken the fences down, replacing them with some metal fencing until he is ready to put new fences up. Luckily since he did that I no longer let the rabbits free roam in the garden as he has a terrier and I’m worried about the terrier getting through. I also now have a puppy who despite all training just cannot calm down when he is near the rabbits, so they get playtime in a heavy wooden run that we weigh down with bricks.
We put the rabbits back 20 minutes before we spotted the fox! It was small, not much bigger than a large cat, so it was young I think. The puppy ran after it barking. My husband is now blocking off all round our shed as it ran behind there. We think it might have squeezed through a small gap into the neighbours garden.
Argh!! Does anyone know how to deter them?
The puppy chased it off!
Hutch is really secure with a catch and a bolt on each door. It’s also really thick wood with strong weld mesh, so I’m pretty confident the bunnies are safe. We also cover them over when it gets dark so they don’t get spooked (they are not at all bothered by noises - puppy barks at them when they are in their run and they just stare him straight in the eye and carry on eating - I do tell the puppy off when he barks at them)
