Yesterday I made a temporoary repair to a new hole in the fence. Which you can see in the footage below.
The coypu twins arrived at 3:30 AM and were at the fence until 5:45 AM. I have forty 15 second clips of them chewing and digging.
Look at the size of the teeth on this little bugger.
The three strand electric fence has been disturbed and the witness sticks away from the fence near this corner have been moved.
My guess is they gave up on the wire fence and risked the electrice fence as dawn approached. Having been shocked they went in the pond away from the electricity.
I’ll probably put a fourth strand in the electric fence this afternoon.
The local farm store sells a battery operated electrificator which has 2.8 Joule pulses at ten thousand volts. That is more than a factor of ten higher…
Might be worth a hundred euros…
I have ordered some more fencing to repair where there are other holes.
