Ken's Deputy 4,456 Posted October 15, 2021 Report Share Posted October 15, 2021 Are they pairing up about now? I only ask because I was out, yesterday evening. Coming back, I said to my mate that Fox fox would likely be waiting for her grub. But, surprisingly, she wasn't there. Short while later, I went out with her grub and saw her down by the trees ~ she's usually right up by the track, waiting. Then, to my great surprise, I saw another pair of eyes, close enough to her. I don't really keep a calendar of what foxes do, when. But, am I not right in thinking they start getting together about this time of year? Wonder what I'll find presently?

walshie 2,804 Posted October 15, 2021 Report Share Posted October 15, 2021 Bit early really. You normally hear them calling for mates from the end of November onwards. At least round here you do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken's Deputy 4,456 Posted October 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2021 Hmm. Thanks, Walshie. And, interestingly, she was alone, tonight. Back in her usual place. Wonder what That was all about then? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

She probably had a friend come to visit and thought she’d show off a bit and took her to see the human she’s trained to fetch her dinner .. 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
