Ooh, your foxy-friend is much fluffier than mine 😍 It's amazing that he ate from your hands, never heard of such a thing, he felt your kind heart. It's strange that you haven't met again, because foxes are tied to their territory. Maybe he had to move. I'm sure everything is fine with him.
You're right, I think this fox came to us because of hunger, they are usually more cautious in these parts. We left quite a lot of raw meat when left.
I know some people set out snares
For the sake of fur, or are they protecting their farms?
I think the snares may be for rabbits but other animals get injured or killed in them. I’ve heard of dogs getting caught in them. Some mean people just don’t like wild animals such as the raccoons and skunks near their property.
We don’t have any large wild animals here, such, as moose, bear, not even a porcupine. A few coyotes on the Island now and they will kill foxes. The fox didn’t eat out of my hand right away. I left food out for him and would come out and talk to him. He trusted me and would even chase a stick like a dog would. Never brought it back though. 😊
I have a whole true story about a fox that came one St. Patrick’s day and sat on the snowbank by the back deck looking through the window at me. Maybe a leprechaun in disguise. 😆 I think this was the same fox with fluffier and redder fur in the winter. A magical night with orbs around him,
I do try to help for the wild animals and birds that come into my life. They are like nature spirits except need food like humans to survive. 🤗
Hope you are having a wonderful weekend, Northman.
Haha, I will have to call my wildlife friends after the seven dwarfs.
