Well now that our resident red fox has disappeared, the gophers and moles have returned. Seeing lots of soft sandy dirt mounds in the yard around the cabin again. We're purchasing some of the electronic sound-emitting stakes to try to get rid of them. If that is unsuccessful, we're going to try the trapping route. I hate seing the damage gophers are do to my young plants.
I know this is an old thread but I have some fox cubs that have grown up behind our house in the woods and they have been playing with the dog toys all week long. But yesterday one nicked a baking tray lol. They are so much fun watching playing with the toys
Slightly left field but my ndn had a fox terrier with the same habits. The teenage daughter turned up at my door with a tray of goodies including a weird looking hammer and a golf shoe should I wish to reclaim my property. Mine was the hand brush that I kept in the greenhouse...or didn't keep as it turned out.
My ex. has a collection of children's toys piled up on his back lawn which the local fox cubs bring to play with. He is able to sit in his lounge and watch them every evening, from inside the house. I think probably his lawn is chosen as a playground because it is fairly large and people rarely go on it. A man goes in once a month to mow and that is it. The surrounding gardens are all very small.
