Olly Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 oh no! are you sure it is still working, the batteries haven't run down? I've been very impressed with mine, so I'm sorry to hear that yours hasn't worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffie Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Is it working ok, check it's working before you worry any more. Ours had to go back as it wasn't working and they replaced it. BBx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggy Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 mine works but the fox has learned how to avoid it, comes up from behind, so I have to keep moving it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janette1954 Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 yes it is still working but I have moved it because I think that is what he has been doing,creeping around behind it.just for now I am shutting the eglu door at night and getting OH to water the area last thing at night.

A few, not many, foxes actually are deaf -- I do hope that is not your problem, though. I have my fox watch based up against a the side of the house, facing out to the garden, so the crafty little critter cannot sneak up from behind. Also, do you hear the treble beep when you turn it on? the human-can-hear beeps that tell you it is actually functioning? If not, you should look into return it for a replacement. I hope it all works out -- ours has been a dream, driving on a fox (or generations thereof) who's pestered our lives for seven years. Gone within 24 hours. So it can work!
