Cinnamon Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 My hubby made a sort of cover for the hole out of hard white upvc,with a large piece of pipe under it,which I twist sideways to keep it in place.Its really rather stiff,& needs a fair bit of turning to undo it,so I don't think an animal could get in. So sorry for your loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 That's awful news - sorry to hear it. I'm being a bit slow though - am I right in thinking the gap in question is the drain slot in the nest box? And that there weren't any run panels around the wheels of the cube? I'd never thought about stoats - I know that they are pretty small and sinewy - but I was really surprised to hear that they could get in above the poo tray!! Would they small enough to get in through the run mesh? Jill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAJ Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I just have a length of duck tape covering the hole so the nesting box is filled with auboise - I just but a new strip on after a clen out. Tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fur 'n' Feathers Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Presumably it was a stoat or something? Tricia Something sleek/smaller than a fox sounds more likely doesn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
