TopShould I feed the foxes in my garden?
If you want to, yes. Foxes provide endless entertainment, and have a pretty catholic diet. There are a couple of “don’ts”: • Do not try to get the foxes to take food from your hand, since they may then frighten other people by approaching them for food or, even worse, get into the habit of entering houses. Leave the food in the garden or a nearby piece of waste land and watch from a distance. Don’t overfeed foxes • Also, do not feed too much. It will make the foxes dependent on you. Also, it will encourage the foxes to hang around rather than go off foraging and can lead to excessive damage and fouling in your neighbours’ gardens. This can cause unnecessary conflict and, in extreme cases, has led to the neighbours employing a pest control company to kill the foxes you are feeding. Avoid potential problems by being considerate to your neighbours.
