We live opposite woodland with a small field behind us.
For the last 3 years a Vixen has had her cubs in a bank in the field so the first place they discover is our garden. As the very end of our garden is not useful as it is so shaded by trees on the boundary that do not belong to us it has not caused us any trouble & the babies are very sweet.
We have 4 cats & the foxes are very wary of them & they do not pose any threat to the cats. More the other way round. We have had to net the ponds as they do like a goldfish or 2! I think they are keeping the mice down though.
The GC love seeing the babies when they stay so all in all it is not a problem.
However last night I went out to out some rubbish in the bin & snuggle together on my sunbed on the patio were 3 little cubs- fast asleep.
Talk about taking the you know what.
I hosed it down this morning & I'll fold it up tonight but it does make you wonder how they will manage in the wild when they move to the woods when they get bigger.
Maybe I'll have to take a duvet over for them!
