Fox are in my back yard!

Hello sunshine.... The foxes are not dangerous animals. They are more afraid of you than you are of them, they will run away rather than fight. As you can see from my avatar, I am a fox lover, we have a mamma and young also in our yard. They are wonderful animals and will help keep rodent population down. The eat mainly mice, rats, and rabbits. Tom

i cannot say for sure, but if the mom feels threatened for her babys she might attack. have you called animal control, i think they can remove them and put them back into the wild. best of luck

Hi hun. We have urban foxes around here and they will come right up to the house given half a chance. It is unlikely, however, that they will attack kids, they are usually a lot more wary of us than we are of them.

Owh..you have to worried about the fox. Call the animal control is the best thing you should do before something bad happen. Don't wait so long to take an action.

Foxes in general are quite afraid for us, although they are sort of moving into our areas but kinda like raccoons and such do. They will still try to run if you approach them. Dogs in general are stronger than foxes, it's pretty much fighting a cat with a good bite. Although small dogs might not win it if they would end up fighting. I guess that because of the young the mother fox will probably be a bit more defensive aggressive, so on approach she might try to warn you off, but actually going after your kids by itself I doubt. I don't think it would have any reason to because as far as it comes to food small rodents and small birds are the biggest things they eat, and I have never really seen foxes as maniacal fighters either. You could try calling animal control though to see if they can replace them more into the countryside, but I guess because it was there with young chances are they'd rather let it stay, but that greatly depends on where you live though because in certain countries foxes are protected and in others they are pretty much killed on sight.
