Incredible Footage From Motion Sensors

Sharing a photo that really scared me to see from my new trail camera.
This is a Fox. One of the biggest predators for small animals. And baby rabbits.
Thankfully he could not jump the fence or dig his way under. He tried both. I watched a video and was very afraid for the babies. They are safe. He gave up.
Since then, we talked to farmers and the local co-op for ways of deterring the foxes. And the story continues.
Photo is from the trail camera. This was snapped by the motion sensor at 2:am. You can see the date, time and temperature is at the bottom of the photo. Amazing, right!
The arrow is pointing to the rabbit nest, in the ground.

@CarolDM It would be good to have such a camera, because my yard is huge and I don't have a fence. I believe I would be surprised to see everything. I believe the fox will come back because she sniffed them and won't give up until she finds a way to get to them.

Oh No! So glad the fox was unsuccessful. Hopefully the local farmers have good tips on deterring him.

@CarolDM I do not blame you! I am sure it was heart stopping to watch the fox approach on camera!

@ScribbledAdNauseum Yes it was, still afraid for these tiny babies.

@CarolDM It depends on what they cost before I get one.

@Scrapper88 They range in price, depending on the type and the extras. Anywhere between $35. and up.

Those rabits are lucky that the fox couldn't figure out how to get to them.

Foxes are beautiful animals, but they have nasty eating habits.
Great picture. You’re obviously loving that camera!!

Its a great photo of him. I dont know personally if it works, but have heard many people say to have a boy or man pee in the area you see the fox. In this case on the fence posts as that is where an animal would mark. That is a common answer when I see people ask in the chicken groups.

@CarolDM Hope it works. I have been seeing one way in the back here. Told it out there it is fine. I see it getting close to my coops it will be a goner.

Amazing what your camera has captured. Hope those poor little bunnies stay safe and certainly glad that fox couldn't get to them.

@CarolDM we've had bunnies here but never followed them from nest to freedom. Should be interesting to follow your babies
