Shoot them.
I have a vixen and three cubs in my garden....they're fun to watch
awwww that's lovely - mind you, I would be petrified as my garden is quite small!
Or bless.
Hope bb dosn't kill them like they do with everything else that wanders in.

What do you feed them on? Last night I left out some of the dried cat food that I buy for next door's cat. I scattered it over the grass.
aaawwwwww how cute 
Is this in your garden or BB's.

Just seen your other post, how lovely. I would think they are happy with all kinds of leftovers. Placed in tin dishes.
foxes are good especialy in an urban enviroment, they keep down the vermin like rats and mice, they also eat waste food etc which attracts vermin,
AND the fact ya cant hunt em with dogs anymore pisses the upper class twats off, n thats also a good thing in my book,

I go to sainsbury and buy the cheapest dog food for them, and top it up with any leftover food.
Foxes are brill, i love having them visit.

I only feed mine in the winter when food is scarce. I do put out any suitable leftovers for them, because I'm soft

They need to be nervous as you don't want tame foxes.
Best to only feed them in the winter.Don't want them relieing on your food.

Over time they become used to you. My neighbour used to call me 'Dances with Foxes' because the vixen was sat only a few yards from me in the garden last year, while the cubs ran riot...she had my sympathies

No, they won't. Enjoy them while they're there
LAINY: If you are a keen gardener, they could decide to dig holes and that'll drive you mad. They haven't dug any in my wildlife park garden so far

If they get too tame then they might come into your house when your back is turned. Which is probably a Bad Thing.

Pet moggies destroy more wildlife than foxes.

Mine will come to the back door in winter, but no further
Not sure this is appropriate in a fox-oriented thread but those two doves I was growing in my hanging baskets have just about fledged now! Awww. They sit in the tree outside and look at me while I'm on the computer. It's dead cute when one of their parents feed them as they flap both their wings against the parent as they do it. It's like excitement.

AWWWWWWWWWWW!*goes all gooey*
The parents come to my balcony to be feed and they don't mind me standing there. I go all silly too. I end up crooning at them, asking "Where's your babies? Awww, where's your babies?" in a silly voice. Neighbours must think I'm bonkers.
I have a fox and possibly it's brood in my garden. I'm petrified
I won't go out there
