bronze Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 (edited) entice her with treats maybe throw a trail of them back to where she got through have you a ladder? anyone else around? friendly neighbour the other side?

Olly Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 don't panic ... if she got in there, she can get back! get her favourite treat, rattle the tin/box whatever, or call whatever you usually call - mine will come running for mealworms, or just if I shout 'chook, chook' and rattle the box. hope she comes back soon!
