The hair makes a great bedding material for burrowing rodents, keep them toasty warm during these cold winter months!

We used our hair as we cut it at home we would put in baggies and then put some holes in baggies and post them on the posts or fence around guarden. Don't know how much it really helped just figured if you didn't have dog hair could try your local barber and get some sweepings to toss down the hole also.

I just hang pictures of my mother in law everywhere. That's enough to scare even the most determined predator.

Wait...I'm confused, what exactly does the dog hair do??

Its suppose to act like marking the area. The scent is suppose to help deter them from going there. They smell something they wouldn't go around normaly.

It doesn't do anything except smell and the smell sometimes scares rodents away.

Now I don't hesitate to say it, but I had a ground hog under my coop when I first started and I you know whated down his hole a few times and he left. However I have rabbits there now and it didn't work for them. Hence the term "dumb bunny". I just leave the rabbits alone and don't cover the lower part of the coop with hardware cloth cuz I don't want to risk blocking the Kits in . The other three bottoms/sides of the coop are all covered.

I actually had the chickens digging in the run to get out by going under the corner of coop. I never thought it might be the chickens. You might want to get some hardware cloth in the spring.

Nope, no documentary on ducks, although that would have be cool to see! I'm just the kind of person who has always been obsessed with animals and since the age of three I have always watched nature shows and researched and just generally learned as much as I could about every animal I could. I know more useless animal facts than I will ever know what to do with, except they do come in handy when I pack up my menagerie each spring and take everybody to the local junior high to teach the kids all about animals and evolution for a day. It's really fun and they get hands on experience with animals a lot of them would otherwise never get. One year I brought in a silkie rooster and the kids were baffled as to what he was

I hear ya i try and learn as much as possible as well. That is why i want muscovy ducks so much.

Hahaha silkies def dont look like chickens.

Dogs are predators for lots of burrowing g things, so the fur makes the creatures decide to move away for safety's sake. People also throw mothballs down, but my critters have brought them up again. Bella has lots of fur she would donate. I would rather you had it than finding it in tufts all over the way I do.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Moth balls give off a highly toxic neurotoxin in the form of gas. DO NOT USE THEM NEAR ANIMALS OF ANY SIZE.
