OD'd on ducks

[Dandy's mom]

Very exciting! Don't they understand that ducks are special and not for them to just help them selves. I have plenty of squirrels in my yard they can have

I feel the same way. I had my Dumplin for 10.5 years, and nothing could get to her... Or so I thought. I had wire mesh dug into the ground 2 ft down all the way around and steel grid tiles on the top tied together with steel cable. Then the back covered with double layer aluminum, all held together with 3" screws into 4x4. I was not going to have anything get to her. Then I came out one day and the steel grid tiles were torn apart from the 4x4. My poor Dumplin was gone, just so something could take her eggs Now, my Dandy Lion is a strictly inside duck. I can't go through that again.

Oh my! What was it, do you know? That is terrible and so discouraging.

I don't think we have too much fox activity here, Only thing I can guess is a raccoon. They're pretty aggressive here, and extremely bold.

Dreadful creatures!! I'm amazed at how strong they are. The last problem raccoon I had straight up ripped the hardware cloth away from the 2x4 and got in. I have improved my pen but now I'm having second thoughts that I did enough.

Isn't this the coolest thing that could've happened?

The panels that were ripped away on top were way stronger than the mesh. If you have trash pandas (AKA raccoons), be sure that the mesh will not keep them out if they want in.
