cragman 2,766 Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) Badger. Foxes tend to live above ground, they won't use a hole day after day like badgers unless the weather is really hard. And when they do, it'll be the nearest hole they can find in their territory. The only time you'll find a fox using an earth regularly is when a vixen has cubbed in it and then not for long. As soon as the Cubs eyes are open and they are up and about, they'll be moved to another spot in cover with holes to use for bolting to. 20-30 holes in a row? Definitely a badger sett which a fox will use now and then. Probably over a hundred years in the making! Edited December 5, 2015 by cragman 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ferretingnewbie 66 Posted December 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 If you're not sure young man, then stay well away. Havn't been near them.

hjckcff 1,738 Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 i wouldnt be standing there with two dogs off the leash taking pictures to put up on the web. if you are not sure about these things you are better to keep your dogs on a lead and stay back from any hole that you think is big enough to allow a small dog to enter. and make sure you get yourself up to date on these matters. or you could end up with your two dogs took off you by the rspca. and that can end real bad for boy and dogs. if you are interested you will learn. best learning the easy way and take the advice off folk on this thread. also if your dogs run free maybe think of getting a locator collar also.
