Default Re: Fox down by the River!!!!!(Serious)

We have foxes in our area all the time...Had 5 kits born under our shed two years ago and 3 this year. They are fun to watch. It is true that they are primarily nocturnal but we see them all the time in the daylight so I wouldn't get concerned just based on that. A lot of people feed them because they are "cute". I'm thinking that one is probably fed by people a lot and he was looking for a free handout. As far as timid that's true but thay are very curious and if people have proved a non threat they get quite comfortable getting close. I hate when people treat anything wild like a pet.

I've also seen them stay just outside my fence (about 20 feet away) and drive my dog nuts...definitely playing with him. I like having them around because they take care of the vermin.....those I don't like.

But that last pic certainly makes your new friend look possessed for sure...HA!
