Tough times for foxes

I've not really felt like posting the past few days as all is not well here for my foxes. Some of the autumn regulars have given way and a new set of foxes have entered our domain. Jackal has not been sighted since November 22 - the longest absence had previously been 6 days so I'm concerned. A fresh menace to animal welfare has manifested itself, though I'll not go into details, suffice it to say that feeding at this time is vital for their survival through the winter. MR CRUISEDOG and I haven't seen a single badger for about a fortnight now, which is extremely unusual, though I know that they have been around in the very early hours.
