Fox's

[VALLEYDRIVE]

We have had a couple of fox's coming to our garden night and day, We are very concerned though as we have 2 small rabbits who are in a run during the day and in our shed on a night, Is the cunning fox a danger ?,Also what about our cat, A large nocturnal tom, Could he be at danger?

[Goofy]

you bet they are a danger. Even if rabbits are secure in run, they will be terrified by the blighters.
Cat could also be at risk, but he's probably agile enough to get away.
I've heard that you can mark out a territory to kep fox at bay. Male urine (as long as not vegetarian). Suggest you or Oh do a regular patrol lifting leg round the place!

I thought the male urine idea was for getting rid of cats. You don't to scare him off too!

We have several foxes visit us every night. They take no notice of our next door neighbour's cat who sits in the garden and just watches them.  But a large hungry dog fox might be tempted to have a go at your cat so keep it in at night.   Your rabbits are definitely at risk and a hungry fox, even during the day, can burrow under the run to get at them.  But foxes are normally noctural creatures so with the dark nights coming in, get the rabbits tucked away early and make sure they foxes can spring the latch on your shed.

As has already been said, the rabbits are definately in danger, a tasty snack for two foxes, the cat should be alright, An option if you want to take it up, a large cage, an oven ready chicken, and you have one or two captives, what you do with them then, is up to you.
