BTW one thing the foxes won't eat is dried cat and dog food, apparently they can't digest it. Anyway I hope you see some of these lovely creatures soon
Ahhh Pat i`m so sorry to hear that, I dont know what to say

Thanks for the tip about the dried food, something to avoid then. Just been up to put the bait out - theyve got a couple of eggs this evening as well as the usual
I`ll check back to read your Fox posts/pics...theyre my favourite UK mammal bar none
