about 2 weeks ago i awake a young fox who has made his/her home at my work in a back corner of the yard, the first meeting we starred at each other for the longest time , the next day there it was again so i went and got some food and just left it out and sure enough out it came to eat, so for the last couple of weeks ive enjoyed my early mornings more so , getting to feed my new little friend , it loves bubble and squeak patties and hash browns that ive been cooking up for it, anyway just thought id share my story of my new friend , enjoy and bye for now
I think it's great what your doing, but depending on the area you in , you might want to be careful.
He may get used to people and not fear them and may come across someones private property who has no qualms about culling him.
That's really cute! At my grandma's house she had a little fox that would sit on her porch, along with a lot of crows, wild turkeys (Ironically they always come around November. But they come around every year so they're okay!) and rabbits.
if its going to be your 'pet' take it home and keep it inside... foxes are eating all our native birds, reptiles and mammals...them, along with cats are wiping out our native species!
You say its close to a wetland? well the more you feed it the bigger it grows and the more animals it will eat. then it makes babies. and soon you may not have a very nice wetland area any more..bye bye natural envrionment...
its in a industrial area at dry creek in adelaide close to open areas and wet lands
I used to live around there! Maybe I can go visit him/her sometime :p
Also it's the best idea not to feed a fox any plant-based food or dry dog/cat food. Fresh meat is the easiest to digest for them. I have no ethical issues with feeding a carnivorous animal what they need.
