Paulie - a Fox that’s out in the day, particularly one that doesn’t avoid human interaction, is probably unwell - mange most likely.don't know if you're aware of the national fox welfare society - understand they can send out some stuff to put on food you leave out for foxies that's supposed to help with mange.0 -
Yep, been donating to them for quite a while (just a few quid a month, I’m not like the patron for foxes everywhere!). You have to put the medicine in jam sandwiches - like crack for foxes!CatfordCat said:se9addick said:We feed the foxes that come into our garden and they’re bold as brass now.

Interesting point Pauli, except that we are the biggest threat to foxes by a long long way. I think you're right though is that there is a change to fox behaviour. Intensive farming makes it far more difficult to live in their natural habitat, the countryside. Many have therefore adapted to live a life largely based on scrounging and foraging through the waste that we leave in our towns and cities. This is absolutely nothing to do with evolution though.paulie8290 said:So I just saw a fox walking through Charlton by the station and it has started a debate.
IMO Foxes are evolving to realize that we are not a threat to them, 10 years ago if a fox saw a person it would run in the other direction but thats changing.
I feel that foxes will evolve to the point they realize that we are more scared of them than they are of us, and again IMO in 10-20 years foxes could evolve to like lions and tigers.
My step mum however who feeds foxes yjat comd into here garden thinks they want to live with us and be domesticated like cats and dogs.
So where do u fall on foxes evolve to be akin to lions and tigers or be domesticated pets

After mating foxes as with domestic dogs they are “tied” back to back. Mating “doggy style” as it’s know as is only part of the process, they then turn arse to arse while still attached (not recommended all you Sunday nighters😂) and the process is complete. The separation process can take a while 30 minutes or so, less mature dogs may panic at this stage causing pain to its partner.

You can’t, the experts say it couldn’t happen. 😉se9addick said:

Macronate said:We get loads in our garden so I think we’re going to have to consider putting our house up for sale if they’re going to evolve into lions or tigers.
i can’t have a situation whereby I’m cutting the grass or pruning the bushes in fear of being mauled by a fox.
Think I’ll go with Foxtons estate agents.
Thanks for the heads up @pau@paulie8290
Same here. The vermin have already killed a couple of our rabbits. I’ll be fucked if we’re gonna hang round till they start taking out our buffalo.

People say foxes (and other animals) can't code and read and stuff. But they don't have to commute, or shop for clothes online, or take exams and stuff.
Or worry about council tax.0 -
Any animal capable of producing mint flavoured confectionery for over a hundred years can hardly be considered 'dim'.9

f**king hate foxes, mainly cause they sh*t all over my garden and driveway2

How about putting out food containing contraception drugs (as is done with great success to wild cat colonies)......far better idea.CatfordCat said:se9addick said:We feed the foxes that come into our garden and they’re bold as brass now.

How many human deaths a year are foxes responsible for?0

When we lived in Eltham they used to dig up the cable for our Virgin TV.Elthamaddick said:f**king hate foxes, mainly cause they sh*t all over my garden and driveway1 -
If you give an infinite number of foxes an infinite number of typewriters.........Eventually they will rise up and overthrow the dark overlord human oppressors3

As for “evolving to be like lions and tigers in 10 or 20 years”, that’s probably the most ridiculous thing I’ve read on this site, which is pretty impressive.
They can shit and piss in their gardens after digesting the totally unnecessary extra food you give them cos you think they’re cute and need looking after, they're wild and don’t need extra food, that’s the reason they have proliferated so much and become a very real nuisance... .....get real FFS and stop being so bloody selfish by feeding them and help get the numbers reduced to a level that’s tolerable to everyone, because they clearly aren’t at present.
Local councils have huge problems with them incidentally and despair with stupid people who misguidedly feed them......DON’T DO IT!
The number of foxes in any one area depends upon the food sources available.
Kitchen staff at Bromley Court Hotel used to think it was fun and caused a horrendous problem a few years back until the management became aware and put a stop to it........just one example that I personally had to put up with when I lived nearby.7 -
Heaven forfend a wild animal does its business in your garden0

I have a dog that would keep them at bay .....I love all animals, foxes included, but we have to face it the urban fox population has become too large for their (and humans), own good.Leuth said:Heaven forfend a wild animal does its business in your garden
We humans created the problem and should set about rectifying it.
I live in the deepest countryside and it’s very very rare that one ever sees a fox.....in fact, thinking about it, in the 5 years I have lived up here I can’t recollect ever seeing one.
They’re all in Bromley!3 -
I agree with you on this, although my language and threats of death remain the same when it gets trodden in or even worse, I find I the wild animal excrement with the strimmerLeuth said:Heaven forfend a wild animal does its business in your garden
We don't get so many foxes now, one of my neighbours cut all the undergrowth away and they have had to relocate. They will eat absolutely anything and are natures great clearer-uppers of left over chicken and meat that would otherwise become maggot ridden this time of year in the organic waste bin. Unfortunately they also have no respect for bin day where the good people of medway disregard the councils waste separation advice and facilitation and put waste food in the black bins bags, thin black bags for the foxes and wild cats to tear apart and make a right mess.
Fox shit does carry a stink that other animal shit can't hold a torch to. I used to leave my work boots outside the back door and the little shits savaged one of them, ripped it to pieces and had a big wet shit into the other one. Arseholes!14 -
I read somewhere recently that the fox population has remained largely the same for years. It is just people are becoming more pre-occupied with them.0

I'm fairly sure there was an owl in my garden last night. Would seen very unusual for SE London.2

I believe that, they are resourceful beasts and as the food supply for them has moved, so have they. Why go to the bother of ripping apart a chicken coop when you can rip apart a bin bag.MuttleyCAFC said:I read somewhere recently that the fox population has remained largely the same for years.

They also run a real risk of being hunted down by shiny faced pricks with dogs and horses every Sunday. Or taking whatever a shotgun is packing.
If I was a fox I'd definitely relocate to the urban world and feast on KFC and kebabs rather than having to chase, catch and eat rats and chickens0 -
Was Karel Fraeye a Fox?MrLargo said:
Hang on. In the past few years on this website I've seen people suggesting that Roland was doing a good job and that Katrien was a competent CEO. I've read that we were right to sack Chris Powell, and I'm pretty sure there was at least one person who thought that Karel Fraeye might be alright as head coach.se9addick said:

Foxes evolving into lions and tigers doesn't even make the top 10 ridiculous comments.
Foxes evolving into lions and tigers and then opening a successful chain of vegan restaurants across South London and Kent wouldn't even make the top ten.0 -
Yeah - We're just off of New St Hill in Bromley and hear them regularly. It surprised me a bit too at first.SoundAsa£ said:

Fox shit in my garden is the least of my worries. The local field mice have evolved over the past 10 years.

Don't see many in Bexley, especially on a Friday night in The Millers.

I’m a Londoner, why would I care about my neighbours? I don’t even know their names and they are significantly less cute than the fox.SoundAsa£ said:

Will we ever see the day when a fox can swim as fast as a shark?1

That's not a million miles from where I live and that fact that the quaggy runs through our back garden (it also runs through New St Hill) would suggest it was indeed an owl. What a delight!SuedeAdidas said:
