AIBU?

Not to want foxes to rip open my bin bags to get to DS's nappies?

Bastard foxes, every week it's the same, they go for the bags on bin night and rip open DS's nappy bags (yes yes, I know I wouldn't have this problem if we used reusables).

The other week we found a nappy in the street and a fox had done a poo on top of it

Anyone else had this or is it just our foxes that are nappy-obsessed? They leave everyone else's bags alone...

Perhaps you should leave a potty out for them?

Perhaps you should try putting the bags out first thing in the morning, on collection day?

Are you emptying out the poo into the toilet from the nappies?

This happens to me too! Can't understand the interest in nappies, thought it was just coincidence but obviously not!

It must be a territory marking thing. Hasn't happened to me (yet!)

Ugh and they like sanitary towels too - found one in our garden on bin day.

Can you get a wheely bin? we had the same problem ,had to put bins out 15 mins before men came, otherwise cats and foxes destroyed them. Wheely bin means you can out it out the night before.

Put food out for the foxes and they will leave your bins alone....leave bones/leftovers on a tray at bottom of garden and they tend to not bother searching any further
