Check behind your Tortoise houses

CherryBrandy · 01-04-2016, 04:19 PM

After the rat scare I thought I would check behind all the little Tortoise wooden houses and cloche area.....exactly why I should have.

I thought it was the neighbour at first having a hedgehog moment (clearly he hasn't the teeth for it )

But no Mr Ratty has been on the war path directly behind Missy olive's home. Non Furry Rat alert !!!! I must admit has done a nice job of the fence though.

They seem to be able to knaw into everything! Hence why I am putting very small wire everywhere. We have spotted them going in and out of our chicken house, thinking it was all secure. At least the one visiting the roof is no longer.
