Hi, /an/. This fox stops by everyday for food. He seems to be

Just confirmed she's a girl, also I dunno why but she always takes a poo and pee in our neighbors yard before leaving

>>2168133
>Has mange
Damn shame it's coat is worthless.

>>2168146
I could be very wrong, but I see some bumps on her skin, so I suspect she does.

If it's a girl, then name it Vixie like the one from The Fox and The Hound

If it gets bad you could try trapping her and giving her to a wildlife rehab

Oh...

Dude you hit one with an axe? I hope you didn't injure it, you could have just yelled and ran towards without risking another foxes health

>>2168133
Name him lil nigga

>>2168273
No worries, he was ok as it was a light axe. He bolted out of there but came back and he wasn't limping or anything when he came back

>>2168339
>op hits a wild fox with a throwing axe
>proceeds to not give a fuck

>>2168341
Yeah that fox was really something, much bigger and the alpha male or female. I had to shoo it off after it came back several more times because it really wanted to get to that food or harm the smaller foxsis.

Update: I bought some puppy chow as it's much more nutritious so I can put some meat on her bones. She seems really sickly but isnt limping quite as much anymore. I notice that she has trouble standing on one paw, though.

It was a hot day so when she was downing the chow I set out a tub of water with ice and she lapped it up before jumping off into the sunset. I'm determined to defy natural selection so this fox can live a happy life, because she's obviously the runt.

>tries to hurt a perfectly healthy fox and rather wants a sick contagious one to thrive

Fucking why? Its mange is not going to suddenly get better and its at risk at spreading diseases to healthy animals.

>>2168364
cause its cute and humans are irrational

as a disclaimer this is not my normal board

few nights ago walking talking on my cellphone at night. see fox under the street light. fox looks at me starts running towards me. oh shit its about to go down. never seen a fox run towards a person. stay calm stand there its still coming. turn and walk away. it stalks me tree to tree for awhile. think maybe I should call animal control because thats not normal. Then I go to another neighbors house and he say man did I tell you about the fox. I left some food in a groundhog trap in the middle of the day and fell asleep outside in my lawnchair and woke up to a fox staring at me three feet away. Someone needs to kill it because its probably rabid. Then I'm thinking some asshat is probably feeding it. You are probably taming a fox to get put down for possible being rabid. Thats all I want you to know.

>>2168364
Because he has compassion, unlike you you sick fuck

>>2168498
>
I wrote it out of compassion. Training wild animals that carry rabies to come to people for food is practically a death sentence if you have neighbors. most likely your helping it not hunt for its own food and have other people call animal control on it. you don't know what compassion is. If he is in the middle of nowhere whatever.

also language this is family friendly board.

>>2168498
Do you think nature has compassion?
If the fox can't survive on its own, then it will die
This is the real world not some happy cartoon where you get a pet fox

>>2168505
Where on earth did you get the idea that I don't know how nature works? I know that that fox would die in the wild. But if the fox doesn't have rabies it's just a nice thing to do, letting an animal live.

>>2168505
ok this board is clearly full of trolls or you didn't comprehend what I wrote. I dont want a pet fox.

>>2168506
yes its nice but if you have neighbors it might be scary. if you are in the middle of nowhere whatever I would probably do the same thing

>>2168505
This, OP is just allowing this weaker fox's genes to survive long enough to potentially contaminate the local population.

>>2168133
By all means feed the vixen but taper the food amount day by day until she has to hunt for it on her own. Otherwise she'll rely too much on you and may not make it in the wild. You're doing a good thing OP.

>>2168504
>this is family friendly board.
This site is literally 18+ only

stop helping wild animals or you'll fuck up their genepool.

if no one cared there'd be no reason to post this thread.

>>2168549
this is stupid
almost all females breed
to think a sick fox's kits have any advantage over the tons of normal healthy ones is ridiculous

>feeding pests

fuck you op

>>2168598
Fuck off plont literally no one cares

make sure you feed her food that is good for her.
Name her runt

Set out traps and see about treating that mange. Mange can do a lot of damage to the fox. A wildlife vet should be able to treat it with timed doses of ivermectin.
