I know that many of you are curious about how our fox catching is going...well we have caught a total of 4. Yes we have become the neighborhood fox catchers...all it takes is a live animal trap and some cooked chicken, any marinade will work :-) The last 2 nights we didn't catch any and I have suggested to my obsessesed with catching fox husband that if we don't catch another in 2 more nights that we are taking the cage back to the animal control. I think it is safe to say that we won't see anymore...they apparently are telling their foxy friends to stay away from our house. We actually had one that would get the chicken without tripping the cage door, it was pretty smart...Brad actually saw it with his own eyes. I feel like I am getting my backyard back. We had to take the dog in to the vet to get a rabies booster because I noticed a couple of days after she had the close call with one of our intruders that she had a sore that she licked all the fur off of on her tail, the vet said it looked like a bite mark. We don't have any reason to believe that the foxes were rabid but you just can't take any chances. I felt bad at first about catching them but in the end they will go to a better more safe place for them to live.
