rabbit demon 302 Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 If its digging into your garden put a fox snare where its coming through. You can check it easy enough. Its probably not wanting the ferrets but it can smell what they are eating and wants that instead but it could still cause them to escape or worse if it breaks into them. Still try and secure the garden to stop anymore of them trying their luck. Bury rubble in the ground where they can dig in and make it harder for them to get into your garden. 1 Quote Link to post

max abell 196 Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 It hasn't been back since but I'm sure it will, shooting it isn't a option so will have to trap as you said.As the weather gets colder and the food scarecer it will be back alright it's probably after what food it can smell in the hutch but if the ferrets get in its way they are no match for a hungry fox Even if it damages the hutch your ferrets will be out and gone. Hope you sort it mate good luck 1 Quote Link to post
