Little update on the fox cubs!!

After reading the comments of my last post, I decided to let nature do its thing, thinking it’d be a cute David Attenborough moment. Spoiler: it’s not. They’ve turned the place into a full-blown war zone! digging holes, chewing everything in sight, and using every corner as a bathroom. Fences are trashed. Soil everywhere…

Their mum pops by now and then to supervise the mayhem (or maybe just laugh at me).

They are still ridiculously cute though, which makes it harder to stay mad. But seriously… help?

  2. I think the best course of action is to keep updating and sending pictures! They are little terrors but lovely animals nonetheless. Don’t think there is much you can do except to let them roam, as they will move on eventually.

  3. You can buy a water praying pest deterrent. Or, automated water turret as inrefer to it. It was the only thing that helped me recline my garden from the foxes

  4. As cute as they are the do transport various diseases and if the garden is somewhere you use often I think it would be worth following the advise if installing deterrents.

  5. My two are a bit smaller. Their mum brought them a dried up rat to play with, like rat bacon. I buried it. Mum dug it up again. I chopped the rat up with a spade and buried it again. Mum found them a new one!
    Currently they are playing with a headless pigeon.

  6. Just think of what noble Foxes they’ll become, like those Farthing Woods dudes.

  8. Same here. Spoiled my raised bed. Poos in places where we used to sit and relax. Big holes in the garden. And they broke my fence at different places. Adorable but I can definitely live without it.

  10. My mate left her door unlocked and the next morning awoke to find a fox had raided the house!

  11. You could try putting some toys out there that you don’t mind them destroying? Might help keep them occupied. The ones round here seem to enjoy balls, shoes and cushions.

  12. Hounds and horses. You might upset the neighbours when their cats get eaten too and a few fences trashed (and of course it’s strictly illegal) but if you say you were just out exercising your hounds or following a scent trail you’ll get off easy. Works for the countryside alliance brigade.
