While I was growing up decades ago. My Grandparents were farmers. With all types of stock and poultry, the biggest fight was with skunks. I can recall many a night my Grandpa, was up with a shotgun. And how I remember laying in bed for the rest of the night with the smell of a dead skunk.
Now in my latter years of life my grandchildren first wanted bunnies ( and most of you know how we bend for our grand kids) I built a rabbit hutch. Knowing how to weld it was all diamond 1/2 metal sheets of steel. Well then it was baby chicks. Then the head ache of snakes. So once again went back to 1/2 diamond metal sheets of steel. Now the only problem of a snake getting stuck trying to get into the run. And they do get stuck.
