Foxes under shed

How come our local ones do it on the lawn? No tagging there...

Unlikely to do any damage to the shed. The only problem we have with our foxes is that they get themsleves locked in the garage sometimes, then trash it during the night when trying to get out. One of last years cubs got locked in an made itself a nice bed under the workbench. Couldn't get it out - It just kept hding from us. We managed to trap it in a big cardboard box and forcefully evict it in the end.

Our foxes are very tame. The resident female comes and taps on the patio door when she's hungry, then sits patiently on the patio watching us until we take her food out. If the door is open during the Summer she'll poke her head in to attract our attention.

Great fun to watch (especially the cubs when they first appear), but the manky smell and the s*it is rather less fun ;-)

Favourite food for ours is cheese sandwiches, cut into little cubes, but they'll eat anything. I'd avoid dogfood as it makes them crap more (and usually all over the patio). Dry food leave the garden a bit cleaner :-)

Oh, and your neighbours will hate you - Especially if the foxes use their immaculate lawn as a toilet. Bonus!
