Lifecycle:

  • Breeding season lasts for three months over the winter period. Foxes gestation period is about eight weeks.

  • ‘Kits’ leave their Mother at between 6 and 8 months old.
  • Although a fox could live well beyond 10 their life expectancy in the wild is short and probably only averages between one and two years.

Habits:

  • Foxes tend to make their homes in woodland and farmland.Except for breeding females foxes do not tend to sleep in their ‘dens’ but may sleep in the open.
  • Foxes are nocturnal creatures but do occasionally venture out in daylight.
  • Foxes are curious animals but also wary of contact and are unlikely to approach a human and have seldom been known to attack fully grown domestic pets such as dogs and cats.
  • The foxes diet is variable – whilst they are omnivores and eat chickens, rats, mice etc they also like berries, fruit, vegetable and grains. Foxes will, in fact, eat pretty much the same as a human being which is why they scavenge in dustbins.
