thehandthatfeeds Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 We have 2 Indian Runners, approx 6 months old now, 2 girls. Very cheeky but they HATE any change in the garden... If we add or remove a plant pot, they won't come out their house for 2 to 3 days, you have to force them out...then it is a right old panic and they can't wait to get in their house again. Also I was cleaning some horserugs in the garden and the ducks were nearly suicidal, they went to hide underneath a load of junk in the shed so had to dismantle all that very carefully so they could get out without getting harmed. I normally dry my washing indoors due to my daughter's hayfever but I decided to hang some washing on the line outside and again, they were shaking and wouldn't come out...then when the washing was gone, it would take another 2 days before they got their confidence back. is this normal behaviour? I need to do stuff in my garden but even moving the patio table a foot, freaks them out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miller30 Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 This sounds normal to me their creatures of habit and just hate change can you not give them their own section in the garden where nothing will be changed or is your garden not big enough to do this leanne.

thehandthatfeeds Posted September 24, 2010 Author Share Posted September 24, 2010 They basically have the run of the whole garden, along with the 2 rabbits, which they cuddle up with. I could section something off but their house is at the other end to the pond, so need to have a rethink. They are fine when you are out with them, little funny things they are!

zoejames Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 This is totally normal! What colour are the plant pots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
