It wasn’t easy. Well, one of them was dead, the other was in quite good shape. It seems they had been locked together for a long time. When I found them I couldn’t deal with them but I got some help and we snagged the living one with a rope, pinned it down and covered it with a towel. Once covered it relaxed and I was able to cut through the netting. It was fraught though. Not something I had any experience of, and didn’t know what to expect.
Once freed we pulled off the towel and it ran off.
The dead one was partially decomposed so wouldn’t have been very good eating.
Thank heavens for my pocket knife. (Also that the blade locked open!, so an illegal carry too)
