The message
from JB contains these words:

Are the bones clean enough by that stage that they won't attract
foxes? I've avoided using bonemeal in the garden as I don't want the
local foxes digging up everything in the vicinty of bonemeal.

No. And rats will dig them up.

I planted a grape vine over a big pile of (mainly) chicken and bacon
hock bones, and despite their being a couple of feet down, the local
rats started a bone mine.

Had you cleaned off all the meat, or left those gristly bits in the
hocks, and how deep did they have to sink the mineshaft?
