Gallina Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I haven't seen the fox in my garden since Boxing Day, but today's snow made it very clear that he is still visiting. Large dog-like footprints show that he climbed over the fence from next door via our respective compost heaps, walked to the Eglu, sat on top of it, then walked to the other end of the garden for a drink from our little pond, and then back next door. If you think you may have fox or rat trouble, snow gives you a good opportunity to see what is going on! Check now before it thaws! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I was out checking too this morning. All I saw were Biscuit's big fat paw prints Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I never thought of that Gallina. There were definalty no footprints in the garden though as I was out there with Stefan early this morning. I bet the snow will have melted by the time I get home from work today too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Excellent point Gallina. I've never seen evidence of fox activity in my garden, but I do know that we have foxes locally, and of course can't watch the garden all the time. Sadly I didn't get out to the eglus myself this morning, had to delegate that job to daughter, so I'll be hoping that the snow lasts until I can get home and check.

PurpleHen Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Snow!??! You all have snow?!?!? Not a sign of it here As we only moved in in July - if we do get snow it will be a good fox check, as we've seen no other signs so far.....
