Mangy fox on doorstep

We get foxes in our garden but they're not nice, fluffy ones. It's not their fault, though.

Sometimes I feed them but the neighbours here want to get rid of them, pronouncing them "vermin". We just feel sorry for them.

This one was curled up on the doorstep when I went to get our nasty little cat in at 2am.

here in the country (west Sussex) i feed the farm fox -leave out scraps, and in five years have only glimpsed it (we have 60 acres and horses) they are huge red beautiful things - but very, very wary and not tame at all. . . .your poor mangy fox will be so itchy and sore - good for you feeding it - maybe contact wildlife rescue as they may be able to trap it and de-mange it?

It seems very comfortable with humans.

Lol so cute though... This happened with a fox once but it was just a baby... We let it in and it just kinda slept on a pillow between the couch and the wall.... It wasn't really wild. Since everyone had already fed it and stuff... And since we have a licence and the space we just kinda kept her... I wpuld rake them all in if I could :) now she lives with us her name is robin lol they realy are no more tempermental than some types of domesicated dogs. When raised right.

if I won the lottery , on my list would be a van service that goes around giving food and antibiotics to these poor little foxes .

If you go to a posh golf club in London you see foxes all lovely looking, but the small suburban ones don't know how to travel there.
