foxproof
Safe from predators
Foxproof describes something designed or constructed to keep foxes out: a foxproof chicken coop, foxproof fencing.
The term follows the pattern of other animal-proofing compounds—catproof, dogproof, bearproof—indicating resistance to intrusion by the named creature.
We spent the weekend making the henhouse foxproof.
