Foxy problem

I'm soon to be moving into a new house which is perfect in every aspect apart from the local fox population around it. So I need to do some fox proofing and find a fox proof run for the rabbits when I'm not home.

Any suggestions on fox proofing a garden?

How does this look? Anyone know if this sort of thing works or not?

Or how about this?

Re: Foxy problem

I think the rabbits will also hear the sonic thing, the spikes look good although I don know how effective they would be,

I like the thick metal runs that trixie make, they come with pegs to stick them in the ground although u'd be better off building something on concrete or using boards with mesh for grass areas

Re: Foxy problem

the sensor things are prob similar to the dog training thing that postmen use, on some sites they are rated as good but a dog can learn to ignore it so maybe its the same with foxes? heres a link to them

Re: Foxy problem

The ebay run does look pretty solid,
I guess the sonic thing isnt on all the time so wouldnt be too much of an issue even if they can hear it
I have the trixie run, its cheaper here Outdoor Pen with Fenced Covering: Great Deals on Small Animal Pens at zooplus the only thing being the foxes could dig under it
