On now until September 4th — and the picture that Time Out have chosen to illustrate it is of some very lovely fox cubs at the London Wildcare centre…

Learning from domesticated foxes
Posted By Foxy Lady on July 31, 2011
The Dog Zombie has posted an interesting roundup of research comparing domesticated foxes with their wild cousins. It’s worth a look if you’re interested in what makes the domesticated foxes different.
Rescued fox…

Family snapshots

Well done, Penny!

Three Counties Radio have a phone-in this morning (Thursday 21st) on the JVS show on the topic of proposed urban fox culls. Apparently they were struggling to find anyone to speak on the foxes’ behalf; I’ve offered to have a chat to them but if anyone else feels like phoning in, do feel free 😉

Any human parent — well, any parent with a child over the age of about two — will be familiar with just how persistent children can be. It turns out that this is a cross-species trait. One May morning, Mrs Fox was sitting in a sunbeam at the bottom of the garden, and peering thoughtfully in the direction of the camera; one of her cubs was quite determined to attract her attention, though…
