Sheilaz Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 But at least you can take it when you move & not need to dismantle a homemade run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KTee Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 I emailed Foxwatch about my unit. To their credit I got a very prompt reply and an offer to check it but, a surprising statement:- "Firstly, we do not generally advise using FOXWatch to protect animals, as the Foxes are so determined they will withstand almost anything to get to them. The main use of FOXWatch is to stop urban foxes digging gardens etc." Not at all what I expected. I will take up their offer and send the unit back but, after the Xmas mail hoo-ha has died down. EDIT:- I have now retrieved the box and instructions (they were in a trauma zone, ie in a cupboard at the back of the newly erected Xmas tree!). The notes on the box refer to the unit "protecting wildlife and "deter(ring)dogs from fouling your garden". (but obviously not foxes) The leaflet does say that a territorial fox may approach the unit and settle in front of it (!) but will eventually avoid the area. There is also the warning that deaf foxes will not be affected. Anyone know if there is a Natonal Fox Health Service to supply hearing aids? Perhaps I should start a charity............

I have a similar sort of coop and we have it on slabs so nothing can dig under it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
