red fox – Page 6 – Urocyon's Jaunts 2.0

First sighting! The threadbare tummy has me assuming this is the mama fox. (the fencing in the garden in the back is where the construction is going on.)

I think Mama fox might be an asian fox spirit of some sort? would explain the glowing ^_^ eyes….

Hello potentially supernatural friend here is an offering of a dried sausage dog chew

p sure this one is one of the babbies. it’s a bit smaller and its fur looks less coarse (also, a little more wary?)

if they are a babby, they quickly worked out that I just want to give them foods, bc they take snacks from my hand just like mama fox does

the dried chicken strips seem to be an especially big hit with the supposed youngling!

Some construction workers in a garden next to mine mentioned there was a friendly fox who came in and chilled with them early in the morning while on the lookout for snacks, so I immediately decided I wanted to befriend said fox.

Turns out that not only is she indeed super friendly and perfectly aware that humans have snacks, but she has cubs in another garden next to mine, and one of them is brave enough to have learned about humans and their snacks as well!

(I’ve dubbed the mom fox tracer, bc she’s a friend wearing orange, and the brave cub winston, bc I initially got him to come over by putting globs of peanut butter down. I know there’s at least three cubs (and as many as six, according to a neighbor), so hopefully I can make even more garden pals before they get booted out to find territory of their own in autumn!
