Can anyone post a link or show me pics of how to cover up the top of the lids on rub's?

I think you use a sheet of plastic of somthing because of the holes around the top - anyhow, any one got pics?

Thanks -

I did mine with "backing board" from B&Q, mine isn't fixed in and is just a second lid, it does make the clips of the lid harder to getr over, but that eases somewhat with usage



before(looking through the side of box)



after

Thanks so much for that Didn't want to put anything in one without making sure it was safe!

yeah, i put the white side facing down, that way you have a coating to stop any moisture affecting the board, mines still like new after 8months(or whatever time its been), and its only about £1 a box, if it does need replacing in future years

Would i still need to add somthing like that for a royal? or just somthing with a head big enough to get stuck?

If that makes scence

Very useful post, never though of doing that. Brill.

not sure, i cant imagine a royal getting its head stuck, but.......


There was a few incidents of corns pushing their heads through and getting stuck(and dying), i thought its not really worth the risk of not doing it

from what i remember it was yearlings and sub adults, there is the possibility of a small adult doing it too
