kinsk Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 The eglu runs have the skirts on them, it's not to stop foxes etc. digging in, it's to stop the girls digging out!! The inside of their run is like the surface of the moon every night, craters everywhere, bowls strewn all over the place bless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 It's amazing how deep they can dig . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abwsco Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 The favourite trick of mine is to dig holes in their WIR but somehow conceal them with the shavings so they don't look like a hole until you step down in one if that makes sense. I've nearly gone over a few times in them. I have to climb over perches as well to get to the Go and I'm sure the madams deliberately choose where I'm going to have to put my feet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenNutter Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Yup, mine dig all around the perimeter of their eglu run so that the Easibed is all in a sor ot embankment down the centre. Requires levelling virtually every night! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipistrelle Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Biryani is our digger here, I swear she's clucking for props to hold the tunnels up! we're on sandy soil so have had to put slabs outside the end of the run and are lucky that one side buts up to a sleeper (under the fence) or next door would be getting a visit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
