Neighborhood has a fox den near by - what to do?

I see foxes out at night or early morning. Worried as most people in the small neighborhood have dogs/puppies and about 75p of people with young kids. Animal control said they can’t do anything about it..

Leave the foxes alone. They won’t hurt you and you shouldn’t hurt them.

It’s probably their habitat that you and your neighbors invaded. Leave them be and be responsible about your pets.

Fox are definitely not dangerous to humans and most dogs or cats. Coyotes are different story.

Personally I would enjoy them. If you think they are nuisance contact your local animal control.

Are foxes even a threat to humans?

Not really. They are generally skittish of people. I have a den near my house and see foxes out and about once in awhile. We had a gray fox around my parents house for a bit. If humans are approaching them, they usually run off.

You’re fortunate to have foxes. They are beautiful, smart animals and they eat rodents, which are a scourge everywhere. I would say the only danger, which is true of any wild animal, is the possibility of rabies. Teach your children not to touch them or go near them and if the animal seems unnaturally friendly and to let you know if they see this behavior. That’s the time to call animal control! Otherwise, be grateful that the world has blessed you with a little bit of wildness. It’s wonderful!

My parents regularly see foxes around their house and both neighbors have dogs. It was really only a concern when we had a cat and it never actually became an issue. Foxes are relatively small and I don’t think they would want to fight with a dog. They leave people alone unless they’re rabid

I’ll trade you the foxes for the bobcats and coyotes I have in my neighborhood, and I live in the middle of Dallas.

Thankfully no mountain lions here but I have a couple possums that live around my yard. They trigger my ring almost every night. They are so good to have around.

Not a real threat to dogs or children unless rabid. With rabies, bats, raccoons and skunks are more likely to have rabies than foxes.

My parents had a fox den in their backyard and the fox never came close to us or any of our dogs. They’re out most at night so it shouldn’t be an issue

Damn I only have rats. Big disgusting rats.

A wild fox is definitely not a threat to a kid and most likely not a threat to a dog. Seriously nbd, enjoy the view. Be happy it’s not coyotes.

Hey friends. My wife and I are looking to start investing in the market outside of our 401ks, hsa etc. We opened a Charles Schwab brokerage account and planning to transfer 2-3k/mo.

Thinking of splitting evenly across large, mid, small caps, and growth, value funds using DCA.

Is anyone else concerned about how to raise the expectations and students’ self-discipline back to pre-enabling levels?
