Who got in?

Use child proof latches on your coops.Coons can open simple latches

Thank you I'll do that

Do you have a wire apron buried around your cage? If so how far does it extend from the cage?

There is but only like 2 inches and only in some areas. Most of the coupe has a wire grid on the floor so they can't get in there but the area where their feed is doesn't and that's where they are digging & getting in. I need to see what materials are available and fix that bc now I see rat droppings in their netting area. Thanks

Yes it was tied with a rope but just a simple knot!

That's the main gate, then the gate to coup is closed with a turn latch but they dug under

I use Tri-act-lock caribeaners. $23 each. Most expensive door lock ever. No one but humans will be getting through that. Totally overkill, but I will NOT have my coop decimated by a racoon!
