Foxes

[Catzy]

Has anyone else noticed that the foxes seem out of control at the moment?.   
I am having to pick up excrement from my garden daily.  
I think the poor animals need a bit of help.   It looks to me like their faeces contains tape worm.  Does anyone know if there’s  a charity that organises a worming programme or anything to sort out their mange.

Would the council be worth contacting ??

 

has anyone else done anything like this with success ?

thank you for reading ,

Best way is too search on line to see about a charity that can help..

They are very much in control of my very small garden.

They have dug four massive deep  holes, and every time I fill one in they just dig it again.

Chilli powder does not seem to have deterred them (it just stained a dress I was rather fond of), nor have prickly rose branches.

I'm trying Scoot next.

I like foxes, but this is bonkers.

Perhaps because those who feed them, don't give them proper food, rather stuff which clearly disagrees with their digestion. plus they are scavengers, eating anything they find, 

You are not alone, likewise a daily occurrence clearing up their excrement. The worst bit is the bluebottles which feed off the excrement. IMO London needs a fox cull.

The bluebottles are getting rid of the excrement.

I doubt many people are actually feeding the foxes. What evidence do you have of that? What do you think they are feeding them that disagrees with their digestion?

I expect there were foxes in this part of  London long before there were people here.
