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??

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.

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.

I thought it would be around now that the young copuld be about!!!!!

 

we found a cryfish in our garden theotherday and took it to a wildlife sannctuary as we didnt know what to do with it (and I wont kill and animal of any type!) (well unless the a spider is huge then I do one oof 2 things lol mainly run to the hill screaming like a baby )
