Christian Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I wasn't sure if you were serious Richard so i thought i had better explain. I should know by now that you are never serious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Apparently they have to be meat eating males, veggie wee is no good so I'm told. Eh? I never said that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 can I ask where the camp site was, Tony? It sounds brilliant, I'd love to go somewhere like that!! It's in Bude, Cornwall. If anyone watched the BBC series "It's not easy being green" it's the site run by two sisters that Dick Strawbridge (Photo of him with my Land Rover in My photo's) helped to install the turbine, compost loos etc. http://cerenetycampsite.com/ We specifically searched for it on the web before we went because we wanted a "Green" site to camp on. They had Alpacas and loose chickens everywhere hence the need for meat eating males Some holiday photo's here if anyone is interested. http://www.cig.canon-europe.com/a?i=CvgXBe3qIm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I didn't say I was 100% sure they had to be meat eaters, I said... "Apparently they have to be meat eating males, veggie wee is no good so I'm told." I was told by these people http://www.itsnoteasybeinggreen.org/ when I spent the day there on a Bio Diesel course and they are a pretty reliable source. They have dozens of rescue chickens and had eight taken by a fox in one day. They put up an electric fence to keep the fox out so maybe the urine theory doesn't work at all, carnivorous, herbivore or otherwise.

Gallina Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I wouldn't rely on urine alone. In any case, wouldn't the testosterone in the male urine deter just the territorial male foxes? The vixens might be attracted to it and come looking for a new kind of furless mate. Male urine is good for the compost heap, incidentally, but not female urine because of the hormones in it.

Tony Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I have heard that Lion poo works wonders. I know, I know, where does one get Lion poo from in rural England? Maybe a zoo or circus? Take home a bag of Lion poo instead of Candy Floss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallina Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 You can get lion poo online from quite a few places, e.g. Crocus I have heard, however, that tiger poo is better for deterring foxes. It may be true, as I don't have any tiger poo and I certainly do have foxes. What I can't find online is male urine. There is a gap in the market here.

Tony Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 What I can't find online is male urine. There is a gap in the market here. Well don't look at me. Judging by this list alone I don't think my supply could keep up with demand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickaboo Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 You poor things. Exactly the same thing happened to me, its an awful noise to wake up to, I am now alert to every sound in the garden. Like you I think it was good thing it happened because I had become a bit complacent, letting them out unsupervised etc. However, I was sure the fox would be back, and since then (about 18mths ago)we have had no sight or sound of a fox by the girls, and we live in a big 'foxy area' and frequently see them crossing the road or on the streets but strangely they have never seemed to go near our girls again. I can't explain it. So hopefully you will be as lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by this list alone I don't think my supply could keep up with demand Well now, surely between us the males on this forum could make something of this business opportunity. Need; something to transport it in, method of delivery - can you send urine by post? - method of ordering. I'm happy to sit here drinking cups and cups of tea in order to supply the good ladies of the Omlet forum with fox deterrant - at a price!

I'm willing to travel, perhaps we could all cover our own area. They just supply the tea and pay travel expenses...
