Hi Hedgie Lover
Have you considered just using an upturned transparent storage box (without the lid) for the feeding station? I know people use lots of different things for feeding stations but it’s always seemed the most practical to me.
Pros:
Simple and easy to lift on and off.
Easy to clean.
The base of the box is much stronger than anything with a lid so no issues putting a heavy weight on it.
No plastic floor to clean mess off, just sweep up any old food remnants.
Cons:
I suppose if you put it on grass/earth a fox may try and dig underneath but I’ve never seen or heard of this and it would involve a lot of effort.
I can’t really see any other cons but if anyone can point any out please do. I get foxes occasionally and although they often sniff around as they can smell the food, after they’ve pushed it a couple of times and realise it’s immoveable they give up. You do need to put a decent heavy weight on the box.
