These two came last week
Little Dougal was excited to meet the latest addition to the 'D' herd at Horseshoe Falls - but he couldn't help feeling that there is something slightly different about Dali...
and in another part of the yard Fenwick and Ffion were delighted at the arrival of their first cub although he/she wasn't quite what they were expecting ( it doesn't have a name yet! )

Dougal and Dali are both lovely!
I like the colour of your fox cub and the blue eyes too...
Great names, all of them.

The black fox cubs are apparently a genetic throwback. My nieces saw a video of one visiting a garden and were ahhhing over it......my mind was just going "Julip......!"
please feel free to suggest names for him/her

I watched a documentary on domesticated foxes, and over a fifty year study in Russia, they found that breeding for tameness over any other trait, resulted in the following generations exhibiting a massive variation in colour as well as floppy ears and tails and more puppy-like behaviour - in other words, exactly what happened with dogs from wolves! A little OT but I thought it was interesting. :3 www.popsci.com/science/article/2012-10/fyi-domesticated-foxesm.imgur.com/gallery/q7wGh(And I'd LOVE a domestic fox one day - they're like a cross between cats and dogs. XD)

Aren't domestic foxes supposed to be quite smelly ?!

I think it depends on their diet, but then dogs can be absolutely foul, as can ferrets, so it's probably not too bad if you're prepared for it. XD
