New foxes in the combe

The latest batch of fox cubs have been evident at one location of our nightly rounds for some time now.  Most have dispersed to forage for food by themselves but two rather malnourished foxes still remain close by their parents and 'auntie' vixens, seemingly unable or unwilling to go it alone.  Only in the last week or so has one very young fox (approx. 4 months) picked up scraps of chicken thrown to it rather than waiting for another fox to take the food and then chase after it screaming to be given some.  I'll try and post some footage in the next few nights.   Badgers are all healthy and quite troublesome as they advance fearlessly to grab food from the foxes after wolfing their own supply down.  Now with food freely available, I will be cutting down on distributing food, only giving to the more timid or malnourished animals.  Fingers crossed, no signs of mange in all my foxes the past winter and now.
