Pictures to follow.

Circumstances dictate that ending my brief rabbit enterprise is best, once this litter is weaned.
There are:

1 x female silver fox, approx one year old, successfully raised/-ing two litters of 6 (10 kits were too many for her). Not overly cuddly but sweet and never nipped etc. Likes weeds from the garden, pellets, straights...

1 x male silver fox. Believed to be brother to the above (reliably informed this is not a problem as long as linebreeding doesn't continue with their offspring). Very sweet and calm. Eats well.

Bunnies are now sorted for homes.

2 x cages for the above. Each home made from panels approx 3' x 2'. Double layered wire mesh floor. Cages are on legs for easier access/cleaning underneath. They're not masterpieces of carpentry, but they are functional and safe outdoors in a secure area, or in an outbuilding.

2 x nestboxes for the above. Upcycled

from mineral buckets - but good size and hygienic.

1 x lawn run. As the cages, but not on legs, and a single wire mesh floor. Again, fine outside in a secured garden but I would not claim it to be fox proof.

[color=red]£20 ono[/color]. Solway automatic watering system (cost just shy of £40) comprising 4 x 6cm troughs, 4x 10mm inline taps, 1x 10mm T connector, 1x 10mm outlet (fits to "header tank"), various lengths of 10mm tubing. You can even have the bucket!

8 x extra mesh panels , approx 3' x 2'. NB - some panels have had troughs fitted through the wire, holes are patched. Will photograph!

+ Any other bits and bobs I find

Let me know any questions

No, don't bother. It's all far too complicated and expensive. [/Arvo]

I think it costs around £35 for hvd, which seems to be my problem. Thanks for the offer; but I think, just this once, I will listen to Arvo/Sean. Obviously I promise not to make a habit of it.

Are they for cuddles or for food?
