When I posted a video where I was looking for badgers, and found an inhabited fox hole, in the comments one person reacted very negatively to the fact that I stuffed quail guts into the fox cubs ' hole. Because the fox will leave the hole and oh, that's it. The Fox will leave the hole. Which to devour directly in a hole brought!
Yes, if the foxes did that, then I would not have to work, not look for these foxes and not invent how to remove them from the controlled area of the airport! We would just fill all the holes with food, and the foxes would go away from there!
And I also just carried a bag of meat chew with me, and not to make bait, yes.
Seriously, 99% of foxes born on the territory of the airfield die in the first year under the wheels of equipment. They go to the lanes in search of birds and insects shot down by the air flow from the aircraft engines, and they themselves fall under these flows. Or under the wheels of cleaning equipment, engineering, etc. Some get tangled in the barbed wire, some fall into the sewers.
We are trying to prevent the death of foxes and the possibility of accidents with them.
I was specifically looking for burrows to catch their inhabitants and remove them from the airfield. And specially left the bait.
The plan worked, we were able to catch two young foxes and send them to the @Sirin Wild Animal Rehabilitation Center"
But first they came to Kristina's @Hare House, where Ksenia took them two days later. Hares are very cool, be sure to look at them on the channel.
Well, you can follow the foxes and their fate at Xenia's in Sirin.
Thank you very much to Maria, who on Sunday, when we were all at the Reptilium, was able to deliver the second fox cub to the House of the Hare. It was very relevant and prompt help!
Adult foxes can not be caught now, so as not to leave the puppies without parents. We will catch them in the fall and winter. It will be enough just to take them out of the territory and release them in the forest.
