foreveryoung Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 foxes in "the season"???? Ive seen and heard alot of them round the front of the garden lately and was wondering if it was "that time" of year again where they are mating and producing young??

Suzie Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 I think foxes have already got their young to feed, i think (although could be wrong) that foxes have their young quite early and therefore they are on the hunt for food for their cubs.

Olly Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 They mate in late January (which is when you hear unearthly screaming and howling), the cubs are usually born around the beginning of March, and will be seen outside in April and May. This is the time of year when the cubs are starting to eat solid food, and the vixen will be having to find food for both herself and them. I don't think there is ever an 'off' season for foxes however, at least not as far as chickens are concerned. Take a look here for some information.
