Friendly wild Fox feeding in my House

This Fox visited me for a few nights after I saw it in the garden one time. I left some food out for him after that and he started to rattle at the front door each night to be fed. He even took it out of my hand on one occasion. I think he got killed on the road a couple of nights after I shot this video as I saw a dead male about half a mile from my house and it hasn't visited again since.

Totally disagree, A car killing it and the urban sprawl around me caused the untimely death, foxes have to cross roads to feed, FACT !!! Since you have no knowledge of "People like me" or my neighbourhood I suggest you keep your comments to yourself. Foxes fearing humans do not prevent roadkill.

if you think a fox will lose its hunting instincts and trust all humans simply because one man feeds it you greatly under estimate foxes. scooota did nothing wrong other than feeding the fox by hand without a really sturdy glove :) It's actually amusing to read the comments by the whiney, anal retentive, perennially indignant, animal behavior "experts" who mistakenly believe this man's actions somehow led to this beautiful animals unfortunate demise. I say good job scoota! thanks for posting

My iPod accidentally flagged this video, but I totally agree. Sorry about that flagging thing, please don't be mad! X.(......

@scooota Agreed! How many domestic animals who spend their whole lives around humans suddenly feel that it's neccessary to go head-on into a vehicle on the road? That's just silly, "Oooh a human is in that strange machine! Maybe if I dive under the tire, I will get food!" ...v_v Animals are smarter than that - and the fox is revered for its intelligence and cunning.

Thats so sad! At least you were kind to it and gave it some food. I saw a fox get hit on the highway scumbag driver didn't even try to stop or help.I did get out and check on it, it died, and put him on the grass. I cried all the way home. Foxes are beautiful.

That's so sad that he got killed! We have some smaller red foxes that come around here...I live RIGHT in town. Last summer one came RIGHT up to me. We both got those big round eyes of fear and just stared at each other for a minute. lol. Thanks for the video! I've always heard that foxes are very good judges of character and an animal of great wisdom!
