MoChara 1,632 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Now I've no picture of this maybe try get one late when it stops pouring. Yesterday was walking the perimeter making sure no holes in hedges or fences where pigs could escape. Came across these odd holes in the grass, kind of hard to explain but I'll give it a go. Coming through the hedge was a run leading about two foot into my place, I doubt it was big enough for a fox but not bloody far off. On either side not even a foot from the fence was two perfectly round holes in the grass, I didn't want to poke and hoke at it in case a rat come out feck that! Lol. These wee holes was around the size of the bottom of a beer bottle. What's lurking out there. Now I do have a few mice but they live right up this end in the shed, and I doubt they'd venture far seeing as they're getting bloody fed everyday b*****ds Maybe a rat. But then what's the bigger run.. Wouldn't bother me only I've been here years and nothing like that before, there was foxes knocking about years ago but soon as the dogs were here they disappeared. Perfect circles too odd as fook Quote Link to post Share on other sites

haymin 2,465 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 What about a stray ferret ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MoChara 1,632 Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Any things possible haymin. I've no ferrets about but don't mean someone else hant lost one. Got a good tip last night to leave sand or damp soil in the area of the run to see traces of footprints couldn't do it last nite so I'll do it tonight. Also getting a lend sometime soon of one of those night vision game cameras think it's motion detect so I'll catch the bugger on cam! I was down with dogs this morning and mochara pissed up the run after giving it a good sniff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
