Is this the world's unluckiest fox?!

Over the years we have rescued foxes from almost every situation imaginable, but this poor vixen has to be the unluckiest patient we've seen for some time!
Originally getting her leg caught in a fence, she was freed by a member of the public before running straight down a deep hole in her bid to escape... in a strange twist of fate, she was very lucky to have done so, as our rescuers found a nasty paw injury from the fence that needed treating.
However tempting it may be, please always seek professional help when freeing a trapped animal. Many have wounds or injuries that require treatment and would struggle if left to fend for themselves!

"he's got a bad case of stupidity" 😀Lawrie you crack me up. Good job as always, go team WAF 🌷

[@Bigrignohio]

Aw, when you removed the cover and the there it was with it's face pressed into the corner . . . so cute.

[@foo219]

Yeah, that was a very d'awww moment

[@Optimismus53]

i think it's so nice, that the homeowners care about these poor little fellows, and call your animal rescue service.☺️

[@tabby73]

It really is! It often gets forgotten in the comment sections that there's always someone who called WAF (or other rescue services). Warms my heart 🤗

[@WindTurbineSyndrome]

Yes that fox could never get out of there by itself.

[@manuelabuchmann]

Thanks

[@Ryanthusar]

"Fox food" Gotta love titles like that. One lucky fox.

[@anniemac3075]

A terrified hurt wild girl, not surprised she ran blindly into the light well. Thank you Lawrie for getting her out of such an awkward space & thank you WAF for getting her fit to live another day. Much love to you all, especially Simon xx

[@jimschuyler4339]

Foxie was in such good care that he did not want to leave, it appears that foxie said a fond farewell as he sadly scooted away.

[@WindTurbineSyndrome]

They have a tough time in the wild.

[@paolagrando5079]

But at the end. Was that fox a Lady or a Sir? 😸

[@DrBunnyMedicinal]

Poor, scared lass! Glad to hear she got the treatment, care and attention she needed and is now back in the wild. Here's hoping this is the start of things improving for her!

[@virginiatolles1664]

Poor old Foxy. The look on his face just seems to say, "Not this again!"

[@lindajonesartist]

I think he was actually a pretty lucky fox to go down that light well. If he hadn't, the wound on his leg from the fence might have become infected, made him lame and thus more vulnerable to other hazards and impeded his hunting abilities.

[@justwatching5188]

Fox was like, do not leave me, I want to stay with you and be served luxury dinners.

[@nicolavallely8076]

Laurie has had a good teacher, love to see the release of a 🦊 fox back into the wild,thank you for the video,love to Simon xx

[@Paula_Shelton]

I hope Simon is doing well. Praying every day.

[@scruffyleartist]

4:45 'Hey I quite like this spa, I'll just let them take off my mas... oh shoot!' 6:10 'It's late so I'll just relax here for the night. Wait, where's that breeze coming fro... oh not again!'

[@MeninaIsCrazy2]

Rescuer/Fox food 😂😂😂

[@clarkelliott5389]

A great effort by the entire WAF team. That is an unlucky fox who was very lucky after all!

[@haggisness]

There once was a fox from kew that got into a bit of a do she was feeling sorry so thank god for Lawrie who performed a splendid rescue !

[@gittank-sson3074]

Awesome poem 🤗🤗👏👏👏👏👏💖

[@GentleTaipan]

Lawrie Bailey, the Best Fox Food of the Realm! Made Fresh Daily! Jokes aside, thank you for rescuing and treating her!

[@foxsinger]

Thank you ! So happythe fox is safe. Love to all, especially Simon

[@sabimail]

Thank you very match.

[@JazzyWaffles]

I love the cute little hop he does out of the cage at the end!!

[@letolethe3344]

A beautiful creature. It hurts me to see him so terrified.

[@gathsfamily2866]

Lawrie must be Simons son !! The same humour blood runs in his veins !!! Bravo !!!

[@DanielRenardAnimation]

Clumsy little fella. Although I don't really understand all the little narrow pits along the side of houses. 🤔 I mean, it's in the name, "lightwell" to give "(day) light" for the basement, but it just seem like asking for wildlife to become trapped, with no incline or climbable installations present; It wouldn't be very difficult to have a diagonal beam, going from a bottom corner, to the opposite top one, with small steps or rough, anti-slip surface, or at least a mesh cover. It surely puts you guys to work, I see! 😅 Great job! 👏

[@paolagrando5079]

A metal grid, like I've seen plenty of central London houses have, would avoid such problem for medium-large-size animals.

[@johannageisel5390]

Yes, they definitely need to secure the lightwell better.

[@mortanos8938]

Bless you all. I am currently in a very bad financial spot and I don't know for how long, but my intention is clear and honest. I fully intend to support you guys once I can. Please stay as you are, you guys and gals are amazing ! Thankyou

[@marieslabbert6009]

Shame, he was quite scared laying with his face pressed into the corner of the box and equally surprised to see that the box has "disappeared"! 💞💞💞

[@Stewart5225]

What lovely people!

[@lisayamamoto3148]

I really like the "did you know?" boxes (most times I didn't!) but could you leave them up a few seconds longer?

[@johannageisel5390]

I second this!

[@Fuchsschwester]

Yes, please. I also have to pause the video to read them properly.

[@ShortOrderCook]

What a handsome looking fox. Another great foxy rescue!

[@jsh2479]

Thank you all for saving such a beautiful creature! 🦊💖

[@yuliavorobyeva3946]

Thank you!

[@JyttesTrailCamera]

It was actually a good thing she fell down that hole, so you could catch her and get that leg treated 😊 Goes to show, that rescues are best left to people who know what they are doing. Job well done, yet again 😊

[@rosanna7644]

So happy that you all take care of animals in need. 🙏🏻God bless you all always and greetings from Zürich🇨🇭

[@onetuliptree]

I'm glad Foxie got the wound treated.

[@-sil]

Animal people are the best people! Thank you for your generosity in saving these animals and sharing them with us too.

[@Wissle]

Thank you 🦊

[@mildredthegoat8340]

3:26 How many animals have come into your animal hospital diagnised with a bad case of stupidity?!!! So glad this lovely fox got the help it needed.

[@whathasxgottodowithit3919.]

You are doing a great job for Wildlife Folks, I am also amazed you managed to keep the bandage on his leg for more than a few minutes.

[@johncochran8497]

Love her reaction just prior to and just after the blindfold was removed... Hmm. I think I'm being moved, but it's gentle and nothing to worry about. Just a strange dread..... (Blindfold removed) Ack! Human! Run away!

[@richardjohnson5529]

Great Job Thank You

[@emilywhatley5889]

Aww, she has the prettiest eyes 💜 Great rescue work from Lawrie, and care from Meriem and Alannah - I always love seeing a little of the medical treatment :) Bless her there at the end... I hope this lucky little girl is making the most of her second chance xXx

[@manuelabuchmann]

Great rescue, Lawrie! 👍🏻 …and the cutest 🦊 release! The way she was hiding in the box, as if she didn’t want to leave. 😄🥰

[@RohitKumar-ub5bn]

Good Rescue Team WAF 🧡🧡

[@margreetanceaux3906]

Bedankt

[@ladyaudrey9976]

Thank you for all you do. 💚💚💚💚.

[@adrianaferreirapimentel9961]

GOD KEEP BLESSING YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!

[@arcticwolflover263]

Poor lil guy atleast hes in good hands

[@cajsheen2594]

Thankyou to ALL concerned, Great Team Work! XXX

[@sharonott7513]

This must be fox season. The poor things keep getting stuck in somewhere. Thank you for rescuing them.

[@charlotted6247]

You all are saints. You are such a beautiful blessing and animals probably can't realize how special you are. I can't help but cry when I see your videos. You could be anything and you are angels. God's amazing angels. Foxy Loxy liked her box!!!!!! 💗💗💗💗

[@miketobin2324]

Bravo! I love a happy ending!

[@MegaMan87]

Glad you saved the Poor Foxy and healed her Leg Injury that it wasn't too bad. (Thank god) It looked Mortifying when Blood was everywhere. She still had the Zoomies even Bandaged when put in cage. Hehehe! Glad shes set free to the wild as she finally Zooms away hopefully to a safer location.

[@ironix1]

The quality of your video is only surpassed by the skills and care of those good people that work for you. Brilliant!

[@wildlifeaid]

Thanks so much, glad you like our videos!

[@ltpinecone]

"Right Fox, you're going in a box" Made me laugh. Good rescue as always guys!

[@AlbertaGamer]

The fox will keep getting itself trapped on purpose until it gets a ride in one of those swan bags.

[@jakobbraun5180]

ty rescue team - you are all awesome 😊👍

[@judil3294]

Funny how I have to change my brain around to them getting into the right side of the car to drive each time I see it. For a split second I thought he had a driver.

[@ValeriaRossellini]

Wonderful work, thank you for caring. 💗💗💗💗.

[@u.e.u.e.]

Thank you! 🤗 This fox wasn't much into humans, was it? 😉 Is there an advantage in a nighttime release or was it just by coincidence?

[@wildnfree101]

I was thinking the same. Foxes are usually out and about during the night. So I suppose there is no panic in looking for a den to sleep in, or escape to, like there would be in a daylight release.

[@santiagobenites]

Most likely because foxes are primarily nocturnal creatures

[@penanna850]

Just going to say I fully appreciate the lovely little titles being given to rescuers. xD Poor Fox Food Lawrie!

[@janetdear6429]

💪 awesome job and video thanks guy's 💖😁

[@TeeJayDeluxe]

I wish there was a foundation like this in london. The urban foxes round my area suffer horribly. My local fox has terrible mange which is completely curable.

[@TimeTheory2099]

Thanks Wildlife Aid team 👍 Hopefully you are getting all the financial help you need to keep going. 💗

[@galadriel4101]

Poor baby glad she did great. You're an awesome team.

[@ineinekleinencafe7102]

I love 🦊 beautiful rescues videos thanks 🙏👍

[@mazay83]

Not at all so unlucky, just the opposite - this way you guys could treat her wounds and keep her safe to recover - great job again !

[@Daud76]

Thank you for helping him/her. Such beautiful animals they are. 😊

[@malcontender6319]

Laurie buddy, been hitting the weights i see?

[@richardbool4232]

Great save guys as always love foxes, I saved a spotted woodpecker on the weekend believe it or not it was lead on the floor in the middle of the shopping precinct in Newport I thought it was dead but it screamed like a banshee when I picked it up, I took it to the vets in Newport by ASDA.

[@GotAnUmbrella]

The fox was so shocked when you took the lid off! 😄

[@user-go4ob2fb3d]

He is lucky to have you❤.

[@Spike-ck5tj]

I'm glad she wasn't hurt too badly. That was very claustrophobic in that light well Lawrie, though I have seen you in tighter spots behind fences before too. Great rescue and aftercare. Thank you to all involved.

[@angelapinnock3793]

That was just the cutest moment when he looked up out of the topless box🥰🦊

[@gerry343]

Brilliant job, well done team! (I'm surprised the fox was not more badly injured going down into the light well)

[@marygames8003]

Poor foxy Fox. Kind of sad he got stuck in the fence, then the light well. But it turned out to be lucky in the end because she got the medical help for her tail she needed. So it all worked out in the end.

[@rattus3102]

NICE RESCUE LAWRIE, THANK YOU!!! 🙏🙏 I love foxes! 🦊❤

[@williamzeber4836]

Lucky fox got 1 month free food & shelter.

[@santiagobenites]

More wonderful people doing wonderful things with wonderful animals. I love your channel. ❤😁

[@leospaz2012]

Me 2

[@annika5893]

How could he be unlucky? The wonderful people of WAF helped him out. ^^

[@MajesticalHonky]

I hope Simon is doing well.

[@Yumenga]

The fox's delayed reaction at 4:50 gave me a laugh.

[@sharonharker9942]

Lawrie sounds so much like Simon sometimes when he talks to the animals. Great rescue...silly fox.

[@trojanpussy]

I would think twice before leaving you too💝🙏🕯😘

[@ceciliag4219]

Great ending to another rescue 💜

[@omrivol]

Well done!

[@OneCatShortOfCrazy]

💜

[@vjary8142]

Lawrie, a fox and a ladder, but that's not an unusual combination with the wide variety of work the Wildlife Aid team do to rescue and recuperate injured and trapped animals back into the wild where they belong to live.

[@pauldurkee4764]

Sounds like we need to put fox flaps into fences. 👍

[@Lukiel666]

Need to stock up on green eggs and ham now. Would you eat them in a box? Would you eat them with a fox?

[@TunTavernWarrior2]

Outstanding video as usual! Give Simon my love. God bless you Simon.

[@capucinebellucci3476]

Thank you for looking after all the wildlife 🦊🦊🦝🦝🐭🐭🐰🐰🦔🦔🦢🦢🦆🦆

[@HelenaMikas]

Such a beautiful fox :) Well done all at WAF👍

[@paulfoxanimator]

Awwww poor foxy this look soo painfull... hope leg get well again..

[@jimschuyler4339]

He is really a quite lucky fox in that he clotted so fast and did not bleed out.

[@KyriaNunNuit]

Foxie: "But I don't want to leave all you lovely people and go out into the big, scary city again Oh. Ok. Maybe freedom is worth the effort after all."

[@KTPurdy]

such an awesome rescue.

[@leftylou6070]

It's a shame they don't make Fox Bondo. When a fox gets a hole in him the vet could fill it with Fox Bondo, then sand it, put textured red hair from a Red Bearded man on it, and he's good to go! Something to think about, and I'm glad the little guy is OK! Thanks for the vid!

[@01Thal]

Foxes look so embattased in these videos, like they know they are destroying their reputation of being a very smart animal

[@avacat8852]

nice rescue and release of this beautiful fox !! Thank u all so much for taking such good care !!! 🦊
