Been seeing a fox around the neighborhood and this morning he was in my backyard. He walked over to my shed and got his partner (he may be a gay fox, dont want to discriminate) up too, then they played around and went under my house.

So, It looks like these two foxes live under my shed. Its cool to see them, but I have 6 lb chihuahua, will they eat it? Should I shoot them? trap em? make a cool hat?

Trap and transport. Where u live? Ive got one that lives behind my house.... U can bring them here if ur in BR, or I will pick up.

Re: the dog would be my only concern... But they may move instead of eating the dog. Or they may eat the dog. Shouldnt be crazy aggressive as singles... But a pair may

ill see if they come back, maybe they were just passing through, but sure looked like they were living under my shed. Also, my trash has been kinda picked through a couple of times the last couple of weeks, I think I found the culprits.

Not sure how they can even get in my back yard, guess they can jump the fence. I had to make it so my chihuahua couldnt get out, so there shouldnt be any gaps in the fence. Then again, this is a sly fox... or sly foxes

They could kill your little dog. I would either trap or shoot.

If you can trap one or both, I will take them off ur hands. Trapping them without a steel snaptrap may be difficult tho.


Yes, they are very smart. Beautiful animals tho. If my dog was n danger, I would probably shoot. Attempt to trap 1st if you can tho....

Gray foxes are the only canines that can climb trees. Crazy.

Yeah I actually enjoyed watching them. Found where they were getting under the fence, blocked it, problem should be solved.
