Will a fox eat my babies??? I just drove up to find a fox in my front yard. Of course, first thing I did was run out back and bring my babies in. Would a small fox eat them? This is going to be a PIA if I have to worry about them everytime I let them out to go to the bathroom... |
i would be careful with any wild animal, dont trust it ever... |
I wouldn't trust a fox, or any other wild animal when it comes to my yorkies. Do you let them out by themselves? They can be attacked in a matter of seconds by all kinds of creatures, including hawks, raccoons, coyotes, fishers, the list goes on. Personally, I would never let my dogs out unattended. When they go out, I go out with them. They are never out of my sight.:animal-pa |
I wouldn't trust ANY animal! If I we are outside and I need to come in, even for a minute, I take them in with me...Better to be safe than sorry |

I never, ever leave mine unattended in the yard. Foxes are unlikely to attack, but it has happened. They are carnivores. They are distantly related to wolves and coyotes. |
That's what I wasn't sure of. Only problem is that even when you stand there with them an animal can still come right up. There have been cases even on this site I believe where a hawk has come right in front of the owners eyes and taken the baby. |
Have any of you seen the Funniest Home Video segment (didn't think it was funny) with the little boy and dad sitting at a picnic table playing with a little hamster? Well, in the segment they had it walking on top of the picnic table and a hawk swooped in and took it, right in front of them. I wouldn't trust my babies hardly 3 feet away from me. I am constantly watching the sky while I am out with mine. When we have our fence replaced I'm going to have it into the ground at least 10 inches and a cover over the top. You just never know what can come under the fence or over it. |

They make very large covers for them that I've thought about using and I've also thought about a lightweight fencing. I would want them to have plenty of sunshine so I'll just have to wait until we get the new fence installed. |
I think there is a person on here who lost her nursing female to fox when she let her out to potty. It jumped the fence, had a hold of her dog before she could get to her and killed her...It was very sad. |
I would be afraid of a fox killing my dogs |
I remember reading a thread on YT that someone's yorkie was killed by a fox. I tried to search for it, but didn't find it. I'd have to say to be VERY careful and be on the lookout when you have your babies outside! |
Agreed! |
