Foxes are true omnivores capable of devouring a large variety of plant and animal matter. On the vegetarian side of the equation, possible foods include various grasses, grains, fungi, berries and fruit. Itīs much better known carnivorous diet might consist of insects (especially grasshoppers where abundant), rodents such as mice and voles, rabbits, birds, eggs, amphibians and small reptiles, fish, mollusks, earthworms, carrion and more. Foxes are also quite famous for scavenging human garbage, which can provide a major portion of their diet in urban environments.

Too bad I couldn't feed my nasty neighbour to the fox. LOL

Wildlife should never be fed. When wild animals link humans to food this is when they become a problem, and you risk the animals learning behaviors that could lead to their destruction. Foxes also have a lot of bacteria in their mouths, and if you get bitten (they could puncture by accident when trying to grab food) you risk a very serious infection.

It is also illegal! Please do not feed the foxes!

Many years ago we had a fox the liked humans. She would sleep out on the deck at night and look in the windows. She stole dog food all the time so we made sure she had her own. We actually had her vaccinated ( brother worked for MNR) so we got the wild life pac. She stayed around for a few years and brought her babies with her. She used to tease the crap out of our dog. She would come right up to you but we never touched her. Her fur was so shinny and healthy and the look on her face was so nice. Sigh...I love all animals with the exception of the 2 legged variety.
