big chief1 40 Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Been to my cousins tonight and we got talking and he told me about his fox that lives in his garden that he feeds every day, said it comes into his house, i didnt believe him so he showed me his training videos on his phone filming the fox at different stages getting braver and braver further through his front door in all the bright lights, then he said i'll call him and went to the window, opened it and whistled like he was calling a dog, 5 mins later it appeared at the window hitting its nose on glass right in front of me, he went tohis fridge got an egg and give it the fox and off he went, whistled again it came back and was eating cheddar cheese in hallway of his house, he told me he give it steak but it didnt eat it so he picked it back up and cooked it for the fox the crank, and it ate it too he said laughing. Its the fattest healthiest fox i ever seen. just wondered if any one else seen this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

salclalin 240 Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Had A Pet one myself About 30yrs ago.Somebody dug a litter of Cubs(About 3 Days old)Only one Survived.It was Given to me has i had a Bitch with Pups the Same age so i thought i would try the Bitch with the Cub.She didn't even Notice the Extra"Pup".The cub grew up thinking it was A Dog.I could call it and it would Come. He would take Food out of my Hand.However if a Stranger came into the Garden it would Hide under the Kennel until the Stranger Left.I had Him until he was about 9months old When somebody try to Steal him out of his Run and he Escaped.I have pics down my Mothers i'll see if she can Find them and put some pics up.

Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 If a fox came into my garden there would be absolute mayhem. Hopefully the fox doesn't get to brave and runs into some ones house that doesn't want it there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Rearing a tame fox from a cub is one thing, but removing the fear of humans with an adult fox is a bit irresponsible IMO. That fox will not turn it's nose up at an easy meal. I reckon that fox who attacked those twin babies probably got treated the same way by people who knew no better..

I seen Bill Oddie on the TV the other day trying to just brush over what happened to those baby twins because it's extremely rare. Well if people carry on feeding and trying to interact with these animals just as they do in Disney films then there will be quite a few more similar incidents I'd bet.

bert the fert 28 Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 When i was a kid, there was an old guy used to go in my dads pub, and he always had a fox with him. It used to curl up under the table where he sat. Everyone knew the chap as Foxy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
