Fantastic Foxes

Continuing the story of my wild urban foxes that began with the "Friendly Urban Fox comes to be fed" series. This new video covers the period 2018 - 2021 when new foxes appeared on the scene. Filmed on Panasonic Lumix GH5 and GH4 , and GoPro Hero 5 & 8 cameras.

You have the best garden in the world and an amazing kind heart

This has been so heartwarming and amazing from Mrs Fox’s first visit. My heart ached for Shy. I hope he found happiness in another garden somewhere and is still healthy. You are a fabulous photographer and good man

[@RNG-999]

This is actually my FAVORITE video on all of KZbin. Thank you, so much, Steve.

[@RobertoScognamigliorobi6826]

This video is more interesting than a documentary. The video quality and soundtrack are perfect! You must consider yourself a very lucky person to be able to live close to those wonderful wild creatures, plus you saved Shy's life... a small piece of nature but an important symbol of life. I love you! God bless you guys!

[@doreleimcmillan7924]

I feed a fox pair every day. They are such beautiful creatures. One day the pair was in my neighbors backyard and one climbed her enormous tree and watched while the other took a nap on the ground.

[@susanelainesanner]

Yes, this is heartwarming and amazing. I watched five or six of your videos before reaching the lengthier and even more mesmerizing views on Fantastic Foxes. Life and death and a good human with food and cameras. And compassion. Thank you so much for sharing these foxes with us. So encouraging!

@@ianarmstrong9594 what's your problem man? Maybe you don't know but animals are not them but us and you should consider yourself the worst animal in the world if you think so. A fox never attacks man but it's the other way around. If you don't like certain things, have the decency to shut up because people like you don't even deserve a reply! Hush!

Qué lindos, ojalá continué la historia de los zorros. Gracias por cuidarlos, alimentarlos y curarlos cuando están enfermos. Ayudar a la naturaleza forma parte de nuestro compromiso con el medio ambiente. Saludos desde Argentina. How cute, I wish I continued the story of the foxes. Thank you for taking care of them, feeding them and healing them when they are sick. Helping nature is part of our commitment to the environment. Greetings from Argentina.

[@matto789]

I loved this, please make more movies if you are able to! I have a family of Foxes that live in my backyard, and I take care of them in the USA. Mange has been a problem here too, its hard to watch, and difficult to treat. I find Foxes to be amazing, beautiful animals!

That's a beautiful story and I hope they do raise another family this year. Your footage is amazing. I have a camera trap, will have to set it up to watch my little fox that visits, I think it's a vixen. I didn't know you could get free treatment for mange...do you just contact them and explain you have foxes regularly visiting and feeding in your garden and one of them has mange and then they send you the treatment? How does it work?

[@michaeldoyle7444]

Amazing filming and kindness Steve, we have a fox that occasionally visits our front gardens, now I know what you feed them, lets see what happens?

Thank you so much for sharing this video. It has really helped me understand the nature of the urban fox better. I have two that I feed here on the Wirral and was wondering how I could vary their diet. I have listed the menu you provided and will certainly vary their meals from now on. I have just been giving them raw chicken. But will also add extra things like jam sandwiches on whole meal bread. Also boiled eggs and vegetables.

[@elrishiilustrado9592]

Thank you for sharing the video this is incredible. Wonder whether you see shy again? Hope shy is well.

[@Titaniumparts]

I've been on a similar journey. Progressively developed a trust relationship with an urban fox (in Bristol). If you're fortunate enough to be befriended by a fox you discover they really are the most gentle, charming and intelligent creatures. Anyway, my regular visitor began showing symptoms of mange and I had to do something to help. I'd heard positive reports about the homeopathic remedy you use, but I wanted to tackle the infection quickly. Easiest treatment is an anti-parasitic medication (such as Bravecto or NexGard); just one single tablet, given with food. But - in the UK at least - this is vet prescription only. Normally a vet needs the animal 'under their care' to prescribe, but they can also legally prescribe to wildlife if provided with photo or video of the animal enabling clear diagnosis and have assurances that targeted feeding will ensure no other animal might ingest the medication. I was able to fulfil these criteria and very fortunate to find a local vet prepared to treat my fox friend. The fox seems to be recovering well. I've been keeping a video diary of his progress; first instalment posted on my channel, with next update coming soon.

[@geezer4444]

fantastic photography & so patient

[@mariashaffer-gordon3561]

What a fabulous video! I love all of the animals you photographed, even the snail. Did you see all of these animals in your yard? If you did, I'm envious of you. I'm so glad you were able to treat Scar and Shy and get rid of their mange, and that you captured Shy and got him the treatment he needed. Some name suggestions for the new guys, if they haven't been named already - Rupert and Bertie. If Scar and Scarlett have female offspring next time, how about Cinnamon and Ginger?

Great film. Very nicely done.

[@panatypical]

Of course my experience seems more pedestrian because around here I'm dealing with cats. The sibling rivalry is similar though. This area is more urbanized so there isn't the opportunity for a creature to move away. I have sister felines here, one with a successful litter and one whose litter met with tragedy, as I later found out. I feed her separately and she will only eat in the darkness. I have the humane trap but the cats have been too wary for my efforts. I picked up a couple of pointers from you here though, such as putting food in the trap without setting it for a bit, and modifying it so as to entice deeper entry. I'm also going to cut cardboard to fit the bottom.

[@InaDaWinna777]

Wonder what happened to the first fox. Was so beautiful:(

[@tj6742]

This is such an interesting and well filmed and made program. I think though that the Title may have under sold it as this is such a strong and very compelling documentary mostly from Mrs Fox and her offspring . U should label it as a follow up the your viral ones (friendly fox comes to be fed) Eg. Mrs Fox) Urban fox ) Fox ) returns with youngs to be fed ) First clip . 2nd clip : eg. Mrs Fox injured young Shy' comes for food .. or to be fed.. like a series . Follow up should highlight Shy's injures .. then illness with Mange and the process.. same as your documentary but clips of Shy's ordeal .. millions would click on with the right Heading.. Or just edit Shy's picture with Mange with a strong headline. This could go viral too ! Overall this documentary is an A+

[@melissa1543]

Oh poor Shy 😢

[@regw8815]

What happened to his eye and did it heal or did he lose it. I hope he's ok.

[@rosaa4630]

Foxes tend to mate for life so I hope it’s a long and happy one it’s real sad that shy left whilst not looking at his best and there’s so many who would see him like this and would try killing him as they would say it’s a. Mangy fox and will infect our pets,and people won’t know he has had treatment and the fur will grow back,I buy a big bottle of mange drops from Amazon it’s quite cheap and againI put it into food I give it to them for a few weeks and it hasn’t failed me with any of the foxes they always get their hair back.
