My cats have figured out the gentle art of teamwork when dealing with the foxes. As the cubs are roaming around a bit more, it’s not unusual to see one cub on its own coming out to look for some food. Yesterday evening, one of them was pottering around on the lawn, initially keeping a […]

I’ve recently been reading The Dog Zombie‘s blog — she’s studying to be a vet with a specialism in dog behaviour (and doing a MSc on the side). She’s made a couple of posts recently which might be of interest. One is about how to greet a dog, and how dogs are likely to react […]

Points to take away from these photos (from June 8th): I do wonder how noisy some of these cub wrestling matches/play fights are… I’m always behind the window so I don’t really hear them; Mrs Fox is still happy to let the cubs use her as a pillow occasionally; Foxes seem to flop down flat […]

Today I have another couple of high-definition videos for you (I haven’t forgotten Foxcam, I promise — but I have a huge backlog to look through). The first is the cubs wrestling with one another again — well, two of them are wrestling and the third one just wants his or her dinner! In the […]

I have, today, a FIERCE fox cub for you — at least in the first of these pictures. I’m not sure what he was being fierce at, but it’s a fair bet it was one of his siblings… or possibly the grass… or something that existed only in his imagination! Also in this set: more […]

As the fox cubs have grown up, I’ve started to notice black marks on their tails, about a quarter to a third of the way down from the root of the tail. At first I wondered if they’d rubbed against something dirty, but then when I saw that all the cubs had it, I wondered […]

The evening of 24th May was sunny at Fox Towers, and the foxes themselves were making the most of it. There was the usual complement of rolling around and gnawing on one another (from the cubs) and watching with faint bemusement (the vixen). Mrs Fox also made another attempt on the world record for How […]

Although the cubs have been entirely capable of eating solid food for quite a while now, and indeed of choosing their own food from what’s put out for them to eat… or play with… sometimes, only the Milk Bank of Mum will do. Apparently fox cubs may still suckle up to twelve or fourteen weeks […]

The Aspidistra Blues has an excellent summary of the current urban fox flap, with a well-balanced viewpoint.
