FOXES:

Red foxes are most commonly active at dusk and night. They are often solitary but they occasionally group together in a pack.

Foxes will forage or hunt alone in different parts of their territory, which may extend from 20 to 5,000 acres, depending on the environment. They use faeces and urine to mark territories and will often fight to secure their territory.

Foxes are capable of causing significant damage to the land by digging up grass and creating earths resulting in subsidence and damage to the land. Foxes are also well known for their prolific attacks on livestock, chickens, lambs, ground-nesting birds and other small mammals.

AGRICULTURAL ENVIRONMENT

Foxes in a rural environment can have effects on working farms or estates. Foxes are capable of taking lambs, lame calves and poultry whether it be game or domestic. It is important to find and control foxes quickly as they are known for their destructive capabilities.

WHAT ARE THE PROBLEMS CAUSED BY FOXES?

Foxes are omnivores that will eat practically anything. A typical diet includes worms, beetles, berries, carrion, small rodents, rabbits and birds. Although an efficient predator, foxes are basically lazy and will not bother trying to catch elusive prey when scavenging produces an easier meal e.g. from dustbins or other food put out by residents. The lazy characteristics of the fox have seen their populations spread into more towns and cities over the past few years.
