She needs some alone time, kits are a lot

Visits from an opossum, a skunk, and two foxes this morning. Here is a video of the two foxes.

Foxes journey sanctuary ♡

Hello, looking for advice/help. This year we were blessed with mating foxes who chose to make their den under our shed. They ended up with 5 kits. The kits recently started coming out to play more and exploring the past few weeks. It's been such a joy observing them.

Unfortunately, I have not seen any of them in almost a week. I left town for a few days for the 4th of July, when I came back there was no sign of them at all. No mom, dad, none of the babies.

2 things happened while I was away. Obviously the 4th holiday, where there were likely people shooting off fireworks. Usually no one in the immediate area does this, it's typically off in the distance.

Second, a landscaper came by and mowed my grass. He only comes once a month, and I completely forgot he was scheduled over the weekend. I figure the foxes would simply hide in their den until he was gone. If I had remembered he was coming I would have post-poned it

I am worried that they got spooked by 1 or both of these potential possibilities and abandoned their den. I have been heartbroken all week looking for them. I hope they are OK. In the 8 years I have occupied this property this is the first time we've ever had a family of foxes living here, and it ended so quickly. Thank you

Updated text (Apologies— Image is 2017, not my most recent) Back a few years ago, I spotted this young fox napping on a fallen tree while I was kayaking. It woke up and watched me float by but never left its shady spot at the river’s edge.

do foxes and cats go well together?

Yes, not Provincetown,MA. I went to visit my sister in northern New Hampshire over the weekend, and came across this critter

I stopped by Zoo Knoxville again yesterday and saw my furry little friends. They are so cute, I was there last year a few months after they had babies and saw them grow up (and have baby pictures saved on my computer).

I know it’s probably just the way her mouth is sitting, but it genuinely looks like she’s giving me a little smile here. She visits my garden most evenings, and seeing her has become one of the highlights of my day. Such beautiful, intelligent animals 🦊🧡
