Fox in the snow
It's the mating season, and there's not been many fox visits to the garden this week, so I pulled these seasonal shots from the archive. This is from February 2021.
Who ate all the nuts?
I put some raw peanuts out for the foxes but things didn't quite go to plan.

Grooming and Slithering
As well as playfighting the foxes indulge in some grooming and quite a lot of sliding and slithering.
Play with me!

Foxes and Fireworks
Saturday October 14th was Hastings annual Bonfire Celebration. Watch the video to see how astonishingly unfazed this urban fox was by the very noisy fireworks nearby. Perhaps it's partly because these foxes live near a railway line and so are used to loud noises.
Four Foxes

Ball Games and Badgers
Rather a long one this week, but there's plenty of fox/badger interactions, plus the foxes brought back one of the balls I put out for them ages ago and they had carried off somewhere.
Full House - Three Foxes and a pair of Badgers
It's a Full House - Three foxes and a pair of badgers.
Last week the foxes chewed through a cable, disabling the microphone and one of the two cameras. I hope to fix things before the next video.
Foxes Playfighting

Duelling B̵a̵n̵j̵o̵s̵ Badgers
A pair of playful badgers. Later, a fox enjoys a rare treat - some small pieces of cheese I put out alongside raw peanuts.
Never put cheese or milk products of any sort out if you have visiting hedgehogs because they are lactose intolerant and it could kill them.
Following last week's trial of courage, the foxes have conquered their fear of the koala dog-toy.
Fox catches a mouse
Fox catches a mouse.
WARNING : This is not cute, but it is natural animal behaviour. Some viewers may find it upsetting. Please read the full text before commenting.
Having caught a mouse, the fox plays with it while it's still alive, very much like cats do. Naturally things don't end well for the mouse. Actually, things don't end well for the fox either - watch until the end to see why.
This footage was filmed with motion activated cameras, and the 'camera moves' were added in the edit. Please don't comment to say I was cruel for not intervening. I wasn't there.
Fox plucks up courage to tackle a scary toy
I put a dog toy out in the garden for the foxes, but they don't like change and are highly cautious of anything new. They were so wary they didn't use the water bowl for four days, always keeping a respectful distance from the scary newcomer. A visiting badger had no qualms. Eventually one fox plucked up the courage...

Fox cub ball games and zoomies
Perhaps inspired by the current Women's World Cup as England prepare to take on China, the foxes have rediscovered their love of ball games.

Three fox cubs and two mice
The manoeuvre in the thumbnail image (and at 4 minutes in the video) is known as foxtrotting.
The cub in the final clip certainly doesn't need reminding to chew his food properly - he spends 25 seconds on a single raw peanut.
Parenting is a tough job!
