take a chainsaw to them and cut a 4-6 inch strip out of them so they lay flat and when the fox goes in he s walking on earth best to make them pear shaped with a den in the middle of the fat end dig the den out a bit and put a layer of sand 4 in thick so it dry and warm if you do them like this you get a bolt very easy dog goes in one side and the fox goes out the otherside, simpules

i reckon you should put a why junction on then the sleeping quarters and then joining back on a y junction on the same line ........................then a chamber up below ground level with a lid .................so its always burried ,........................

i reckon a culvert is the best as you can replace the slabs back if you got too dig..............

you can make the hole drain from slabs.........any old patio slabs will do...........

Just wondering how long after an artificial drain was made would charlies start going to it ?

 

Not a stupid question just always wondered
