First look at the young foxes


The photo is a little blurry, but it was the best I could get before mamma pulled her pups back to the den.  She is on the far right keeping a watchful eye on the guy with the camera.  This is our third litter of foxes and the second year in a row we will have the little fellas running around.

The den is in the burm to the right of #15.  There are three kits, pups, or cubs depending on what you like to call them.  They come out in the evening, this photo was taken around 7:00 pm.  They are not at all dangerous, but don't get too close.  These are wild animals and we want to keep them that way.

Don't worry if you see Izzo playing with the foxes, she is tougher than she looks and knows when to back off.
