How Many Rabbits Does A Fox Take

[koru 12]

That's what I've seen the foxes don't seem to make much of a dent in an area with a high number of rabbits, also seems like high number of foxes in those areas too

There's a documentary showing fox ambushing rabbits as they leave the burrow, can't find the link.

No rabbits where I live, wild staple would be nice and ground nesting bird/chicks/eggs. Sheep have guardian dogs with them at all times, neighbours chickens and ducks are taken regularly.

didnt think people used livestock guardian dogs in the uk

fox is an oppertunist, he doesnt rely on one prey animal, plus a rabbit is a good meal. Whenever I have dug to cubs Im ashamed to admit I did notice that most of the grub was pheasant and hardly any rabbit but then again it was shooting estates..

Makes sense. If I were a fox I think that I'd always go for the easy option. No need to waste time unsuccessfully hunting rabbits when there is easier game on offer (like pheasant or partridge)

A this time of year judging by their scat blackberries make up a large part of their diet.
