Fox deterrents

[Howard cordingley]

Hi all.
Just wondered what precautions can be taken to protect rabbits in hutches. We have 3 small doggies but the fox always comes in garden at night leaving his poo behind. My hutch is double meshed and has a heavy large potted plant I put in front of hutch at night.

Is it lifted off the ground and by how much? Lifting the main area up out of the fox's way/reach is a good idea. Pretty sure that if the fox wants the buns so bad, the potted plant means nothing to him.

It’s off the ground plus padlocked too with strong mesh. The rabbit won’t see fox at night as we put a Perspex screen in front which you can see in the picture to the right.
