Charley458 blog: Backyard to the little foxes

Last Tuesday (2/15/11) this afternoon, looking through the Windows to the back yard, a golden puppy feeding the bird go under. I think who's dog ran out. Carefully at, no, is a Fox! It underground arch to arch, in the fall in the ground bird found in the food to eat. Fox's legs are black, ear-tip is black, and later for online search is the Red Fox.

I shelled sunflower seeds in feed and feed birds. Results of ground out a lot of sunflower seed shells. At the same time many did not eat sunflower seeds are bird to the ground. Although the birds could fly to the ground and then pick food, there are always many haven't eaten, it is wasted. The well-fed Don ' t know how the starving suffer. I often call them, taught them there are many birds in the world did not eat.

Similar claims are everywhere in the world: when I was young, and they are often education cannot not know Fu in Fu, there are two-thirds of the world's people living in an abyss; it is said that many years ago, United States of children was often their parents a lesson "eating clean food in your plate, Chinese children starving it. �� Now I moved to this package of educational methods education cat, dogs, birds.

Feed the birds foraging under Fox

It seems that not only hungry bellies of birds in the world, there is a hungry stomach's Fox. No, Fox is in a sunflower seed shells in the pick of the remaining seeds eaten. I think he must be very hungry, otherwise how will pick up the bird picks left the meal to eat here.

Lived in it for ten years, occasionally seen foxes, deer flashed, but never in my backyard, foraging in broad daylight.

I quickly found the camera took. With a telescope and look carefully.

The Fox I have ever seen. After a few weeks before the heavy snow, everywhere the yard 1-2 feet of snow-covered tight. I see the Fox from the window from a brisk walk through between the two houses. I noted that the second half it was a big no.

This time with a telescope I carefully, the bust after it was terrible, hair has gone, and there are injuries, injury of blood red. No wonder he risks to the food, certain physical condition we regret, unable to hunt.

Bust after hair has gone, and there is blood red wounds

The Fox in feeding the birds ate on the floor near the 40-50 minutes.

The next afternoon, the weather was good, fat dog sitting on the balcony refused to go home. Suddenly she heard barking, out at the Fox came again, squatting under the pine trees in the distance. It has also been bold enough, CP pre ride on the Rails ��ʳɷ֡� give a talking-to teeth on her mouth, I tried to bring her home, Fox regardless of disregard in the CP frenziedbarks sound go to feed the birds to look for food to eat.

Finally Home CP, see half a hard old bread on the table. Originally wanted to feed the birds, feeding the Fox right now. Cut the bread into several smaller pieces, water bubble, under sent to feed the birds. Fox I stood on the balcony, but do not like to feed the birds so close to me. It ran away, that did not come back again.

That night, I told LG Fox is back. From his mouth from the first sentence: "this is not to a hung on my house does not take Fox? ��

We smile it is a rascally Fox, Fox is also a public lecture skin.

Third day afternoon CP and shout, and Fox came again. It ate the bread, and also to eat for a fish pond to drink some water and then eat.

Ate the fish pond to drink some water.

Hey, this is really good, and eat or drink tube

Do not know any dessert after a meal?

Later, he sat in the corner of the back yard chasing its tail, a bit like a dog. This time it also stayed for 50 minutes in the back yard.

Down for two days, it is and where it came. 9 in the morning, a 10 o'clock, at about 1 o'clock in the afternoon a, 4-5 points also to the evening. LG came back from work on Friday, it had not gone.

I bought a cheap cat food to feed it. I find it most like to eat meat, followed by the cat food, bread. I milk residue is left to do it, it seems to have little interest. Pork ribs there were fresh in the fridge, I give him two yesterday, two today. Start it like thieves held up a runs into hiding in the Woods eating, eat today to have generous does not hide the second block, sits not far from the House under a tree to eat.

Holding the root bone hid under a pine tree on the edge of the yard Meng chew

Hey, good bone, two bones better.

Although the Fox body hurts, but the spirit is also full of good. Walking road, tripping. This telescope, blood red wounds on him was gone, hope is starting to heal, hope it can hurt good soon.

I want to check it online this is what these two days, gain access to the Fox (Fox) skin (cutaneous)/fur (fur) disease (disease), results results are articles on Fox fur. No solution, with LG said I may have to make a phone call to Fox of Philadelphia Zoo to see if I can find the breeder or veterinarian and ask. LG today Internet search has found, in this praise him.

According to the description on the Internet, the Fox skin may be mange (mange), caused by a skin parasite, and it looks like it this Mange is not the most severe of the skin but not light. Online article also said that sick Fox because of frail unable to hunt in broad daylight in people's backyards, and especially in winter, also feed the birds under food, made with exactly this situation in my family! Also say if not treated, strength will become more and more weak, can take advantage of many other parasites, and finally ended in starvation. Fortunately there is a wonder drug called ivermectin (Ivermectin) will cure, quite effective, inexpensive, as long as 30-40 money can buy a bottle of 50ML. Fox just 0.2ml, the bottle will never be finished. The medicine fat dogs can also be used to prevent canine dirofilariosis. I have Internet access to fixed, 3-4 after day will come. It can be placed in to eat the meal, once every three days. Online there is also a United Kingdom wife was home to a long Tinea Fox, she gave her the name "58", is also to take this medicine, said to be much better after two months.

I know this animal illness in nature is the law of nature, I can't see where every happening, I could not only care about. But since this Fox walked into the backyard of my house, I couldn't look at no matter. Watch it so hungry, I don't have the heart to give it away to keep it to eat. It was sick, often to be afraid of fat dog is infected with. Spend some money to cure it, Fox life better not only fat dog safe.

I always feel Fox, deer wildlife blame the poor. Those of us who (myself included) in order to live in a big house, real estate developers to make money, as cover as possible to the development of the country house, and Woods, farmland area is shrinking, the wildlife living space has become smaller and smaller. Our side of the road the deer there are often killed by a car, occasionally have hit a dead Fox.

We have Fox hunt around here (Fox Hunt). Ever watched a movie or on the oil painting art Fox Hunt (Fox Hunt): wore a black hat, dressed in red uniforms, pedal high leather boots, riding high right now, a group of hounds at the foot, it seems to be a very elegant, very gentleman's sport. Until shortly after moved to now live in the place of one thing that I changed his mind. One day suddenly has a large group of hounds, and ROAR and called loud decibels through my yard ran away, surprised me dumbfounded. Drive out, the dog didn't catch up with, encountered the same community of neighbors, asking to know that is the fox terrier dog group. Neighbors say that hounds Chase Fox Chase has red eyes, we will bite a dog be smashed to pieces of bones not have. Do not know what neighbors said was true or false, this ten years only one see also hound from my yard has run, but after that as long as heard distant cries of a group of dogs know Fox Hunt (Fox Hunt) I quickly cats and dogs are kept in the home. If we immediately turn out for a walk home. Think that was chasing little Fox, must have been scared of fascination, poor thing!

If we could saved them the little Fox is also a little bit of negligible compensation.
