Does anyone suffer with urban foxes? I have them all around where I live and I've spent lots of time and effort getting my piggie house totally fox, rat and mouse proof with stainless steel mesh, fly mesh, marine ply and sheets of stainless steel. I know it sounds OTT but I literally can't sleep at night if my pigs aren't 100% secure.
Trouble is, I want to get another group of piggies that would need to be housed separately, but I can't go through all that palaver again.
Are chicken coups fox proof? The ones I've looked at look swish, but security wise they are nothing compared to my piggie set-up.
I'm getting a Dobermann puppy in the next few weeks. Obviously when Dobie is pottering around during the day nothing will dare venture into my garden, but when Dobie is snoozing in the house at night, the pigs will be vulnerable.
Any advise or tips would be much appreciated!
