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 […]

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

The topic was whether urban foxes should be culled; Peter Oborne, columnist, and Neil Hamilton, former UK MP, were putting the case that they should, and I was acting as counsel for the defence, for the foxes.

Apparently snakes are in a global decline. I can exclusively reveal that it is in fact the fault of urban foxes (well, why not, we’re blaming them for everything else at the moment). I startled the fox cubs earlier on by opening the back door and going out to find out exactly what they were […]

… well, not that that was any great surprise 😉 The Bad Witch has posted to her blog about an acrobatic fox cub in her back garden, with a link to some cute video too…

Many of you (in the UK, at least) will have seen the report of a fox attacking two babies in east London. There is some discussion here on the BBC News site about how unusual this is. Perhaps the foxes in Hackney are bolder than those around here — several people seem to be describing […]

Well, perhaps not quite; the cats still stroll around earlier on in the day, before the foxes come out for their constitutional around 2.15 pm. They’re quite regular about that; emerge and lounge around on the lawn for a while, sunbathe, possibly indulge in a little chasing one another round the pond, and then head […]
