I mean, I know if a fox regularly visited my garden I wouldn’t be too happy, let alone with a baby in the house, I’d be making sure my property was secured if for nothing else for the safety of my child. All seems a bit mental when you think of it. Although I did like the line ‘you don’t expect a fox to behave in that way’ what? Like a fox? They aren’t spaniels ??‍♂️

I would be making sure I fed it a lead tablet, but you know my take on them anyways.

 

The problem is, given food, urban foxes are becoming more bold, they loose inhibitions like thier rural counterparts, increased population, and increase in urnban foxes, expect to see more reports like this.

I agree. I’d be making sure something was done about it. Luckily we don’t get many urban foxes round my way although I’ve seen the occasional one or two.

We get a lot around work to be fair. Regularly see them on our cctv and wandering around. I have seen my fair share on the way home from town or the pub after a few

Is that the one lounging about... cause if it is they are far to comfortable out your way ?

There are plenty around here, winter before last used to have one follow me and the dog (about 5 am) just a few yards behind, and it used to re-mark every tree or lamp post my dog pissed up. Generally see a few most mornings, dog doesn't take too much notice of them now although now and again he will decide to chase one. A woman who I speak to had her chihuahua ragged by one in her garden, cost her £200 in vet bills, and that was during the middle of the day.

I don't think it's a new thing I lamped dozens of fox,s in the 80,s of Durdan downs near the centre of Bristol, while all the late night revellers were making there way home from town dropping miss milleys fried chicken left overs all over the downs, the place was alive with fox,s,  they were worth good money in those days and you could just sit in the van waiting for them to arrive
