Rolfe 2 Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Had a walk round with the dogs to check a few buries and found the evidence of nests of young rabbits being dug out by fox or badger.........pretty sure this was the work of old "Charlie" and not brock as the holes were too neat and tidy for badger activity .......the holes always look more ripped apart if a badger is responsible.

martin 332 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 If they have opened the hole up to get at the nest then it would be a fox,but,if they have just dug straight down to the nest from above then it would be a badger,either way it happens...............'M' Quote Link to post
