It knew where the safe haven was that's for sure! They are very clever the older foxes. was early morning the kids saw him snuffling around. Currently the girls sleep in a metre square extremely tough cage, normally used to keep working dogs in so I know they are safe at night, but far too small for during the day. We did some walking around and found the old chicken run for here, had four lines of hot wire around the run and an extra zap wire around the shed part. Sadly the termites ate the shed part be we may just be able to rebuild that.Can you imagine how terrified that fox was? I'm sorry it chose your yard to hide in MW. I wouldn't want one in my yard either. We have them too but so far if one has ever been inside the fenced flocks property it has been at night never seen one inside during the day. Thank the Lord.
