Over the last several months I've enjoyed the company of 2 young Foxes in my backyard. I've been fortunate to watch and learn their behavior and routines and they gave me plenty of opportunities to photograph them.
A few weeks ago I noticed one had an injured leg so I contacted a local wildlife rehabilitator and she suggested I feed them so the injured one doesn't have to hunt giving it time to heal on it's own. She said if it doesn't get any better trap it and bring it in to her. She also suggested I trap the sibling because Foxes do better in rehab in the company of another Fox and she doesn't have any others in rehab.
It took about 5 days to be able to trap both of them using a dog crate with a long rope to close the door once one entered the crate but I managed to catch the second one last night and it will be going to her facility this morning.
Beautiful animals to say the least and I'm glad the injured one will be getting some help now.
The rehabilitators plan is to release both Foxes back onto my property once the injured one heals.
I love the foxes on my property, except when they chase my cats.
