Would you feed urban foxes?

No, there are now too many urban foxes and too many people who think it is acceptable to feed them, it is not.

No don’t feed it, foxes are perfectly capable of finding their own food. They are wild animals and should be treated as such.

I love foxes but I think the other posters are right you shouldn’t but it would be very tempting you are so lucky I d love to have a resident fix

I probably wouldn’t but it’s tempting. A friend had her pet rabbits taken by a fox recently. She assumed it was desperate because she has a secure garden and the pets were what has always been until now a secure enclosure. Very distressing.

I wouldn't feed the fox in your position.

Personally, I wouldn't feed it or encourage it to trust humans. A lot of people don't like foxes so they're safer if wary. If you do leave food out, don't put it near the house.

Foxes eat birds, rats, mice, frogs worms, insects, fruit etc. and there's a plentiful supply. Of course, they'd rather have a 'ready meal'.

I'm suspicious of reports of cats being taken. Foxes don't usually risk being injured. They would go after a kitten or poorly cat though ( a good reason to keep them indoors).

I often see the most majestic fox sitting at my front door in the middle of the night . I’m so tempted to feed him/her but we normally just look at each other for a brief moment and it runs off into the night . There were no houses before I moved here over 9 years ago .

No. It's wild and you will simply encourage it to continue coming to your door. They are not pets and must be left to fend for themselves.
