I live in UpState NY, in a small city of about 70 K people. Anyway, I think I've seen a fox about 5 times in the last 15 years? When I was in London for 3 months, I saw foxes multiple times!
My English friends thought I was odd because I got so excited about the number of foxes...but I've NEVER seen a fox in Manhattan!
Lilly is such a beautiful fox, you are a very lucky man! I wish our foxes were as friendly to us, but their perception of humans has been ruined by our hunters. They do come up to the house when no one is around from time to time. I throw chicken bones, mice we kill and other scraps out by the forest for them when I can.
Beautiful!! I love Foxes,i see them all the time where i live in edinburgh,normally at night in my garden & street!! Just last night one ran past me when i was walking my dog.i have never seen one as trusting as this though!
A wild animal doesn't just "forget" how to hunt. If a human feeds them they just get lazy and become dependent. If someone fed you good eats you wouldn't wanna go chase rodents anymore would ya? :P
I don't care anyhow, i used to feed Raccoons and I enjoy providing for them but there are so many risks to feeding a wild animal you have to be aware of.
you could feed and love that gorgeous fox for the next five years and then uproot and move far away, that fox would be fine , and you too , enjoy a foxy friend while it lasts , lucky you
@billygeorge230845 And what seems to me, this is a similar process which happened to wolves becoming dogs (settleing in then urban environments). As I have recently found out, the London foxes do not have as much adrenaline as their wild counterparts (the same goes for wolves-dogs).
No it doesn't make them not know how to hunt anymore. but that means that they will most likely hang around your house more. and scavenge around you garbage. but they will always know how to hunt
While they are cute animals, feeding them and interfering with their lives is not recommended because it habituates them to being given food by humans, and they lose their natural fear of human beings. The former will discourage them from hunting which makes it more difficult for them to live on their own, and the latter can be dangerous for both humans and them, because there are humans who are not as nice, and they will stray close to other developed areas and potentially get hurt or killed.
Just so you know people, this is probably a tame fox, you know one trained as a pet, but not completely like a dog. They are still dangerous when they bite you, they get annoyed pretty easy. But otherwise is probably a exotic pet license (depending on the state)
Wow, she's lovely. Foxes are my favorite animals, we get a few roaming around here in St. Louis, but not many. They mostly hang around parks and cemeteries, but they aren't friendly or trusting like Lilly here! She's just SO pretty, too.
What a beautiful little lady. Little minty who comes here each night has a Family. I have a thing about shopping for the fox family and then for my own. have I gone mad? I hope so.

@skycrysis
Foxes born in the urban environment have nothing to hunt.
They are just scavengers living off human wast, and their good will.
Post mortem inspection of dead urban foxes in the UK indicates that their main diet is earthworms

Not true. Foxes still hunt small rodents.
