    So presumably your 'eats anything' dog didn't think of eating rabbits?  ;)

    Oh but didn't he just! Full of ambition, limited achievement.

    The mesh may not stop them - I've got very fine plastic mesh over a water butt, and have found leopard slugs stuck in it a few times - the birds dropped them there, they can't get out once they squeeze themselves half way through.

    Thanks, @Slow-worm. I'll look forward to stuck slugs then! But I suppose if they do get stuck at least it means they've not got through.

    In West Green House gardens they have a mass of healthy hosta on islands in a pond.  Apparently slugs don't swim.

    Ah! La limace de mer.  But I think they only slide along the bottom.
