This is the male as he looked about two weeks ago. The foxes are all looking pretty moth eaten since they blew they're winter coats. But this little guy seems to be having a more difficult time of it. I'm pretty certain that he's got a touch of mange on the back of his neck. Sure hope he doesn't spread it to the others. The ticks are partly to blame, as they've been thick out in the south meadow this spring. The little guy's appetite seems to be pretty good, so he'll probably do okay. I watched him run a full grown raccoon up a tree a few days before this picture was taken.

I shot this photo of the dog fox earlier this past spring. The foxes love the bits of boned chicken breast we toss out to them periodically. As usual, the dog fox is stuffing his mouth full, so he can take it back to the den site.

Here's another shot of the dog fox paying us a visit.

Mmmmm... Even more chicken bits, just for me!

In this picture, one of the vixens is checking out the surrounding area to see if the coast is clear. She's wanting to come in to have her meal, but just doesn't feel comfortable with the situation.
