We carry out soft releases with the fox cubs we have in. They are put at the release site in a pen where they are fed every day for around a week to 10 days, then the pen is left open but the cubs are still fed for up to 3 weeks until they are finding their own food.
Hard release is straight out into the wild with no back-up support i.e food & shelter.
