Guest john the baptist Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Could well be mr brocks house, though he would normally try and bury his crap in little freshly dug holes. The droppings sound like they belong to a fox. Was there any bedding outside the holes? Quote Link to post
DIGZY 4 Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 sounds like a badger sett but foxes will use badger setts to best to stay well clear of it Quote Link to post
