@Micky Duck Yes but maybe a slightly smaller diameter hole. 4mm rather than 6mm might make a difference

The 6mm hole was nearly all of the flat area of the nose so might have been excessive
But it does prove the point that the hard cast is very hard and might need just a little encouragement to expand

Then entirely suitable for wallabies and fallow deer
