FOXES WHEN THEY WERE ONLY 3 MONTHS OLD PLAYING

These are two of the kits in my videos when they were really little. This is a cute and short video that I uploaded in July but it is good to be able to see the foxes when they were all brand new. I added music to this one. If a ad pops up just click the x in the bottom right corner to make it go away.
I hope you enjoy the video and come back and see us.

HOME COMING

August 1st, 2010


This is a photograph of Young Mom and her partner Handsome Fox.

If you notice the mom is still showing from nursing her young. It was early June when I took this image. Mother is not showing at all any more and the young juveniles are running around, and emulating their parents at this point. They are getting braver everyday as it is not long now that they will move away from "home" and start their quest to make their own family.

This is the second litter I have watched grow up. I get pangs of "empty nest" myself , knowing that they will all be leaving soon. It will be interesting to see who stays behind the tree this fall.



August 1st, 2010 ...I just returned from my art show in Ann Arbor Michigan where the fox photos were a big hit! I heard many stories from other people about the fox or foxes they have seen but most people have never seen a fox in the wild before and rarely a gray fox.

Whenever I leave for an art fair, I am always afraid that when I get home that all the foxes will have moved on.

However, that has not been the case as they live and play and raise their young here. I am just part of all that to them.... when I am here, they know I bring them treats but they do not rely on my small hand out for food.

They are great hunters and love to eat bugs and moles and other small rodents. There is plenty of fox food around here!

When they come to the fox brunch, it is a way for them to gather and enjoy each others company and the day without fear that something will happen to them. If I had a dog, I would not have foxes. Most people who live in the county have dogs so their property is not safe for a fox. That is why I think I have so many here.

ROCKY AND THE FOXES

I always enjoy watching the interaction between the foxes and the Raccoon.

In this video there are four little foxes who seem to be giving the Raccoon a run for his money. Watch how the little foxes run back and forth when the raccoon comes near them. One little girl stands her ground under extreme pressure by the raccoon to chase them all away.

Later in the video a couple of adults come along to make sure the kids are handling the situation appropriately.

I hope you enjoy today's video blog.

Click on the screen BELOW to start the movie.

If you would like to join my blog or send it to friends I think that would be great. You may have to sign up for a google account but then you will get an email notice when I add a new blog post.

If you have a fox experience you would like to share please write and tell me about it.

Have a great day!

young fox joins his grandma

In both of these photographs there is an adult fox with a kit. They really protect the young foxes and try to keep them from coming out but they are getting old enough to not always do what they are told.

This is a great video of two of the young foxes by themselves. Watch how fast they move around.

They seem like they are having a lot of fun if you ask me... but a little scared of everything that moves....there are 2 parts to this video fox watch for July 14th, 2010. Tip: you can watch both videos at the same time if you are pressed for time. I try to keep the videos under 3 minutes each but sometimes they get a little longer.

Cheers,

Sandra
