Pests And Predators
423 HEDGEHOG - TUMBLE DOWN BAY
685 BIG RAT! - GREYTOWN
Here’s a rundown on what predator does what, and why they are such assholes.
Rats
These guys are real survivers. Rats eat eggs and chicks. They climb trees and are excellent tunnellers. This can be a major obstacle when erecting predator proof fencing, as there is a considerable sub-surface component, extending meters from the fenceline to make it truly effective. As you can imagine, it means a hell of a lot of work to fence through a dense forest.
