Quick question

[JoeD 24]

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,

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.

Ok thanks guys, I will take some pics when I go up there tomorrow to get some blackberries :-) but if it is a badger I don't think the ferts will be going down there.

Yeah this one seems dead but I am not going to risk my ferrets so rather get it checked out first to be on the safe side.

if its badger there will be signs of their toilet where they dig first, could be traces of straw where they clean bedding out and possibly paw prints, best of luck mate
