At 5.30am on Sunday I looked out of my back patio doors and was taken by suprise with a lovely fox half way up the garden looking at me

. Guess what, my first instinct was to open the patio doors and say hello like a fool

, and sure enough he turned round and trotted back off up the garden and out of site. Well this morning at 5.40am I opened my patio curtains and there he was again, this time much more closer to the house just on the other side of the patio. Well what I would like to know is what food should I put out for him/her. Also would you put the food out at night or in the morning, it's just that if I put it out at night and it doesn't visit till morning it may attract rats.
Thankyou
