We have a little fox family living in the garden of our office (it’s not frequented by humans too much and has a lot of foliage and undergrowth). A few weeks ago I spied the cubs with their mother cuddling up in the bushes, but now the cubs are out and about chasing each other around and exploring. They have gotten so big!

This is in South London in a very urban area so it’s lovely to see them so happy here. My colleagues and I like to watch them from the office windows. It’s a wonder we ever get any work done! 😉

She said she'd enjoy some chicken. Or maybe a little cube of cheese. Anything really, she's not overly fussy.
She did say, though, to note how nicely she's sitting.

(Napping on the garden furniture, now it’s stopped raining. She’s smiling too, isn’t she?)

We’ve had this sweet fox visiting our garden for the last few days. A couple of times we gave her some raw dog food (the same food our dog eats). Since then, she’s started coming by every morning and evening. Been reading that feeding foxes regularly can make them dependent on humans and affect their ability to hunt. Today she’s been sitting quietly in the garden for over two hours and honestly it’s breaking my heart. I’m torn between wanting to help and worrying I might be doing the wrong thing.

What is the right thing to do? PS - I live in London

We had a seasonal visitor to our garden for the last few years who liked to sunbathe, here's some photos from last year

This one is always going onto our neighbours trampoline or sitting in their shed
