[Foxy]

sounds brilliant! What a wonderful dad you have! You could always have a couple of electrified wires at the top for safe measure dont think hedgehogs climb!

[tallulah]

Sorry to hear about more run-ins with that fox.  Do you think it's just the one?

[slowef]

My sympathy I was a victim last night too.  Blast the b**gers

[Jellyhead]

Babe and Sandra, what a horrid start to the New Year. Big hugs from over here

[wildeone]

Blast the b**gers

Babe intends too!!!!!!

[GrannieAnnie]

Oh girls, I am so sorry to hear about your chooks!  That blasted fox Babe, he is persistent isn't he?  

I know lots of people say foxes should just be let to get on with what comes naturally, but not when it means you keep losing your poor chooks!  

Brian's sitting next to me saying go on blast the bu**ers!!!!!!!  But your Dad's idea sounds wonderful, let the little sod try to get in there.  Hope you get him soon!!!!!

[babe]

Babe do you mean poisoned bait or bait to tempt him into where your Dad can shoot him/her?

[babe]

i dont think i could poison any animal, not pleasant.

foxy will be humanely dealt with.

[Selkie]

Phew, I thought it was a bit out of character, but I know some people do leave poisoned bait for foxes/stray dogs (at least they do in Ireland) and then don't care whether its someone's pet cat/dog or a wild animal that eats it.

Thanks for clearing it up Babe

I do feel kind of sorry for the fox, but I can imagine how you feel, and I know your Dad will make a clean kill so at least it won't suffer.

Don't forget to update us.

[babe]

i do too rosie, as having seen him/her several times, its a stunning looking animal up close.

left to me, id never be able to pull the trigger.

[Aunt Sally]

left to me, id never be able to pull the trigger.

I think I would if it was snacking on my chooks Babe  :evil:

[babe]

last night if i'd have gotten hold of it, id have ripped its * head off with my hands. but in the cold light of day, not so easy.

[Selkie]

Babe, did your Dad get the fox yet?

[babe]

lets just say 'fox gone'  

have spoken to dobies where i bought foxwatchs from, then had a nice call from the managing director of the makers of foxwatch.  they have had numerous complaints and are changing their advertising as they have realised its not as reliable as they thought.
