Re: Electric Netting for Woodchucks

Turtles, toads and frogs have always had problems with low electric wires. They do not have the ability to turn or back up fast enough to get away before the next shock comes. So instead they keep trying to go through the fence and after enough shocks it can kill them.
With your fence you must have enough moisture in the soil to make the ground return work without the ground wire touching the toads.
There is not much you can do except for raising the fence, but that will allow the woodchucks to get also.
