Next door to us is a small wood, a couple of fox families lived in there and one year they had twelve cubs between them. Some used to come to be fed most nights at dusk, but one year we had a memorable minute with four adults and twelve cubs playing in the garden.
They're very common here - urban area. I never go a day without seeing at least one. They sleep on top of our shed and leave dismembered cuddly toys (not ours, don't know where they get them) around the garden, which always make me jump when I find them! They're a pain, especially their habit of pooing on anything you're using if you leave it out (doormat, tools, toys) but I still find the cubs bouncing around and playing very cute, even as I curse their habits! Couldn't help but rescue an abandoned newborn a couple of years ago either.
Wish I was overrun with hedgehogs instead!

How did you meet grommit? Did he/she live in your garden or just visit?

Keep chickens - gotta gun!
Yep saw one at mid day watching my chickens.
I always thought foxes were more cat like than dog like.
It's only David K who keeps chickens then? They get shot round here.

Don't use milk aym, it gives them 'the runs'! Cat food is good for them.
