Awww, he's lovely! :)I have two different foxes that come into my garden; one that's a bit chunky, and a skinny, grubby little one, a bit like that one up there.
EDIT: I'd check with the RSPCA before you try and restrain him. Oh, and apparently foxes like cat food.

I spoke to the RSPCA first and they said it would be easier if I could catch him first, then call themso then I went of freecycle, and found a nice lady who is lending me a dog cage.
Execution of plan may not be so easy but I've some left over meaty bits to woo him.

You could Dick-Dastardly it and set up a trap with the string and all that.But it's like Ad7 said, I don't think the fox would appreciate being out-foxed. XD
But it's for his own good I guess.

The RSPCA would most likely deal with releasing him.We have to remember your garden and the surrounding area is his territory; it'd be cruel to dump him far away.

Joking aside, I'd hope he'd get release back here in the garden, or even treated here.Plus his mum might be nearby. Hopefully it's just a bit of conjunctivitis and fleas and can be easily treated. fortunately I have big motorbike gloves so I won't get bitten.

Yeah, it'd be a good idea to tell the RSPCA what the fox's symptoms seem to be.All being well, all he'd need is an injection, maybe a flea bath, and he'll be out and about within a day or two.
I think one of the foxes that comes into my garden has mange. My neighbour said it was losing fur, but I haven't seen it in quite a while. I hope it's okay.

Mange is indeed a terrible affliction.The little fella should be back fairly soon, if you've baited it and all that. Then again, the weather's been a bit shit lately so I dunno.
