This will prevent them from digging under. And, as the ground shifts and would expose new openings between the fence and ground, the wire prevents them from slipping under a fence.

This way nothing shows, we've done this and it works great.
This is a good suggestion. The BEST part is that you will be out there with them all the time. My Juju weighs around 4 lbs. and I have seen hawks circling very often!! Too scary to imagine if she were out there alone!
