john b 38 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Hi Whin No I've never made any - the Midlands is just too far from the sea I suppose I'd like to have a try though - do you have any pics of how you made them ? What materials did you use ? John Quote Link to post
Guest buster321c Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 So is the trap door spring loaded, or just slightly off center enough to close ? And is there thing to go under, or do you just leave it as it is and put it over a hole? Looks a good job John , i`ll see how i get on and if it all goes pants i might be wanting a copy of your book , cheers guys . Quote Link to post

stubby 175 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 is there thing to go under, or do you just leave it as it is and put it over a hole? rabbits are very good at digging, yes it would have a meshed floor box attacthed to it, or wire basket Quote Link to post
