just be careful- my neighbour used to put out food regularly for the fox, but she ended up attracting alot of rats, until they actually saw one in her house... they stopped then

good luck Sam!

I live in Bristol city so there are foxes everywhere here if you ever fancy an urban adventure. I don't know how old you are but the research unit here are always looking for volunteers to help with tracking for future notice.

There's something very satisfying about spotting a country fox though

Foxes will eat more or less anything. Sultanas are fine (but not around domestic dogs), eggs, but try to avoid too much (and too much processed food because of the salt). And it's a myth that cats won't eat dog food. They absolutely do (I've plenty of video evidence from the trail cam I've got set up).
