    By the time the sun was setting the Fox Kits would gather back at thte den and cuddle near the entrance or go in for the night. They like their sleep, we were back by sunrise but it turns out Furbabies sleep in till at least 7:30, if we had known that we would have slept in.

    End of the day.

    Dad keeps an eye on the Fox kits as they romp around a field last evening. One of the best shoots I have been on, two days of baby foxes, love, love this time of year.

    Mother Fox had a frustrating problem after investing the time to bring home the bacon, so to speak, her little fox kits would not eat it. They grabbed the dead rabbit from her, ran with it, played with it and fought over it but they won't eat it. She gave the same rabbit to each kit at different intervels during the evening not one of them would eat it. So what does Mom do? She uses a little pshycology and eats it herself but she won't let them have a bite. I have a hunch it was a different story the next time she offered up rabbit dinner. Unfortunately it was our last day with the foxes so we didn't get to see how long it took before they became meat eaters.
