although the colour's wrong for the tartan, it would keep your balls warm in this weather

My grandad had a huge garden by the coast in Edinburgh and it was inhabited by several foxes of varying ages and cstates of health.
My dad took to feeding them - he would just chuck all the leftovers out of the back door and it was usually all gone within an hour. It was great having the foxes in the garden - they'd happily frolic around within a few metres of us.
But..... They stunk the place up something awful - they'd shit on anything but had a preference for small spherical things (balls, gear-boxes, cardboard boxes etc). Fox poo really, badly stinks of dead things.
To get back to the point, don't feed them. They are wild and you shouldn't interfere with nature, unless it's by the use of firearms and for your own amusement.
So, once again I repeat my offer to come and blow the wee ginger bleeder to kingdom come. It'll save you getting bitten and allow me to make a lovely new hat.

Feed it dog food, they like that. I like Foxes, I also love the irony of a human calling a fox vermin...
Just feed mine with a little Fox fluid and some 7.5 w Fox oil once a season and it's doing just fine
There are two schools of thought how to deal with this pest.
1) Shoot it. The downside being that if you don't kill it dead it could get away and die a slow painful death, also the bullet could go astray and strike something unintended, like a bicycle.
2) Set a pack of dogs upon it. The upside being death is pretty much guaranteed and happens relatively quickly. The downside, the reds will be on your back.
