          Pics taken July last year. I feed my Foxes each evening by the back door, ok they do poo & dig a little in the garden, but they were here long before I was or even my my house was built.

              Nice to meet you @thriftybri, and :sign0016:. Great photos of your foxes. They look well cared for! Like your photos too, @john558, especially the first. He looks like a cheeky chappie!

                  Not had many problems with my Foxes, yes they do poo and dig a few holes on the grass, no problems with any damage to the Veg/Flowers. I truth the local cats do more damage. But ha, I love all animals ( not Slugs or Snails)
