Anybody got any proven fox deterrents for keeping them away from gardens? There starting to get a bit too close for comfort to our rabbits.

Collect your urine in an appropriate vessel Rich. Then spray it around the perimeter of your garden regularly. More so in wet weather.
A pal of mine from where I used to work, tried this out at home and said it was very effective.
He now leaves a pump gun full of his own piss in his shed and his missus regularly gives the garden a liberal gong over when she's at a loose end.
Sounds disgusting but it's free and seems to work well.
I hear tiger/lion shit is an effective deterrent also, but is obviously far more offensive and far harder to come by than adult, male human urine.
Failing all of the above, if you want to have some fun/sport instead, you could always sit in the garden with a beer and one of these...

Fuck me
I'd have to be at quite a loose end before I started spraying piss around the garden with a super soaker.

Make sure the hutch is fox proof (ie. mesh dug into the ground deep enough they can't dig under. Doesn't matter how close they get if they can't get in.

invite your local hunt around for a meet, ok so your garden may get trampled by 30+ horse's and hounds but they should be able to help removing the fox's.
the larger animal piss also works, keeps cats away to 
hanging chains over and around the rabbit hutch also works as the noise scares the fox's away when they hit them.
