Meet Big Kev....
« on: January 13, 2014, 10:58:36 am »
My Uncle has been busy this weekend constructing my Boars new winter accommodation.  Thought you might like to see it.  Total cost £0!  Lucky enough to have hoarded enough wood and supplies over the years from past projects.

Nice house. Don't be surprised if he chews the doorway, though. You might want to edge it with metal strips. When they get bored, they often start gnawing!

That was the first thing he done Liz!!  Then they spent half hour scratching up and down the house  ;D ;D  I do have a video of him "over scratching" and falling over but A) I have no idea how to upload it and B) my dads "colourful language" would need to be muted!

He really has the loveliest temperament. His wife Lois isn't interested in human contact, just food.  He loves a scratch and a cuddle though
