Hi Guys, I'm putting this here in RF section as my questions are RF specific. I hope some RF keepers from around this area chime in to give me some advise.
I start building enclosure on my backyard in few weeks and before go to Lowes for the building materials I thought I'd ask few questions here.
1) do RF's dig? My babies like to dig themselves into the substrate to sleep at times, but do I need to dig to certain depth under the fencing and line it with chicken wire or something to prevent them from digging themselves out? If underground protection needs to be dug outI may need to get one of those Bobcat heavy diggers and that would be a huge project which I could probably not be able to do this year
2) I'm thinking about using cinder blocks, with all the plants I have I can make it work so it's not an eyesore in my backyard. I am not handy with tools at all so it has to be simple but look nice in the end. The ground here is very hard if not impossible to dig in without heavy machinery. The house sits on bedrock of limestone so the fencing needs to be something I can lay on top of the ground (no digging in posts or anything like that)
Any thoughts, advice, ideas, pictures would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
