JoeD 24 Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Ok sorry about no pictures at the moment but I will upload them within the next week. But on one of my permissions there is a big hedge warren with 60+ holes anyway near the end of the hedge there are 3 big entrances which are about 2ft high by about 1 1/2 ft wide, I have never seen an entrance this size before and don't want to put a ferret down it just incase it's a fox hole or something. But it is within say a metre of the rabbit warrens. Are they just big rabbit holes or are they something else. Thanks in advance, JoeD Quote Link to post
bobndog 0 Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Possibly badgers, have a look first thing in the morning, the next time that it rains, for footprints. Badgers, foxes and rabbits will quite happily co-habit in circumstances as this. Quote Link to post
