Bobbys Girl Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 OH has just spotted a stoat/weasel bounce across the top of the garden from the neighbours side and dissappear down the side of our shed/hedge on opposite side, the chooks noticed and were rooted staring at the hedge. I have just been on ebay and ordered a humane trap, but I am now worried about my girls. I have shut them back in their eglu & run, my question is, how safe is the eglu/run? is there anything else I should be doing? Will this visitor attack my girls? they are scots dumpies. Any advice greatfully accepted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I understand they can get through small holes so I would put some bricks behind the dropping tray so it can't be pulled out and make sure the eglu is on a paving slab so it can't get in the drainage holes Not that familiar with the eglu to know what gaps it has got.

Tweety Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I would also wedge something under the nesting box drainage hole, to prevent anything getting in that way. The paving slab is a good idea, but you need something more to block the drainage hole - as I found out to my cost when a predator entered my eglu that way and killed one of my bantams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
