From what I've read breeding takes place from January but I just wondered if January waas to early for them to be born?

We have one that passes our house every night at around 00:15 but tonight we've had 3 cubs run through the garden.

They are so cute but after having a cat attacked by one I am always weary.

Still, they are beautiful and stunning and astonishing creatures.

I'm not sure to be honest but I know the mild weather plays havoc with wildlife breeding.

I love foxes, they are beautiful. Did you see the fox attack your cat? My friend had her rabbit stolen by a fox and found its head on the garden

its usually the spring when the babies will venture out so i presume the ones you have seen were born last year

good fox then, usually they take the head & leave the body, this one seems to have had more sense & gone for the meatier bit!

awful when it happens, but they don't know any better.
they're gorgeous creatures. one's coming very close to our garden lately (i have rabbits, guinea pigs and quail)
next door had chickens until recently, and apparently mr. fox took one of their hens a while back
i've seen our dog chase him out of our garden once, and he tired taking off after him down the street on another occasion, thankfully he'll give up if you shout him back
more worried about my dog than the fox to be honest, more likely that jake would come off worse, despite being bigger, not that he'd ever catch up, the fat boy

the mild weather has played havoc with the wildlife this past year, the cubs might have been born early due to the weather
they're usually born in march-april, following the january-february mating season
by the end of September the same year, they will be just about fully grown and living independently, so they're unlikely to be last years kits, especially if they are visibly "cub like"

There's no worse feeling than sending a small dog outside for a pee and hearing a fox moving about and "barking" (more like screaming) in the darkness. Sheer terror!

I wouldn't get my dog (lakie/border terrier cross) back if there was a bloody fox near by and he was off the lead. He has smelt them and gone crazy and took about 15 minutes to stop pulling and crying to get at them. There is a similar but less pronounced reaction to rabbits and squirrels. There are loads of rabbits in the fields near by and people leave feed out for the squirrels on the footpath where we walk. However here in West Cumbria we have proper RED squirrels so there is no way on earth I want him getting hold of one of them.
