Well, I picked them up on Sunday. People had told me they'd squeal but the noise they made being picked up! Once home they were so calm that we couldn't get them out of the crate! Fortunately, we just lifted it into the enclosure and they soon trotted out.
They've been shoulder to shoulder since and after discovering our electric fence around the bottom of the enclosure, they learnt pretty quickly to root elsewhere. Wasted no time in getting ploughing:
The dog is extremely keen to get in there and even a shock from the fence didn't put her off for long. Going to have to watch that one. Not sure what she'd do if we did let her in but don't want to stress them out as she is a chaser.
Currently training them to come to the bucket so we can look at putting them in a temporary electric enclosure in the paddock to start grubbing out some rushes and scrub willow. Looking forward to spring so we can try them on tree fodder!
