Title: Foxes - to feed or not?
Post by: twinkletoes on June 09, 2008, 10:11:22
Our allotment site backs on to a chalk pit which is currently being filled to accommodate housing in the future.  Thing is, we have foxes which have made their home in the hedges and trees along the back corner edge of the allotment site and they are raising a 5 cub family. The tenants are split - should feeding be banned because it encourages the foxes or would it make no difference if they were fed or not, they would still make the place their home?  Your thoughts and comments would be most appreciated.

Don't feed.  They don't need it - there is plenty of food for them in the wild.
