🦊Inside the urban garden fox hole den - where the vixen raises her cubs - Ajax's maternity home.

A first look at new mother vixen Ajax's maternity den where she is currently raising her fox cubs aided by her husband and foxy companion Brutus.

The Den Entrance (Hole)

The entrance to the den is a hole that is about 7-8 inches in diameter.
Sometimes the hole will be hidden, beneath a boulder, or within a fallen tree.
Inside the entrance is a dugout area, where the fox can sit and watch for predators.

The Ramp

The ramp leads down to the main den area, this is the main tunnel of the fox den. The
ramp goes down at a slope and leads far into the earth. This ramp usually goes down
about 6ft vertically.

The Inner Den

The inner den is the main den, that is used for raising kits, and taking shelter from storms.
The tunnel sometimes has a food cache, and a secondary den, with other entrances.

The Food Cache

The food cache is an area that is dugout keep food eatable for a couple of weeks.
Foxes know when it’s time to store food away, for the kit season, or the winter.

London is the ultimate urban landscape when we look out of the window or take a walk down the street, these views can appear to be devoid of any natural life, with everything being artificial and man-made. But when we look again, with the right eyes, we can see that nature is actually here in abundance. and that includes one of nature's great survivors and adapters the urban #fox.

Here at Ajax the Friendly Urban Fox we are proud to support The Fox Project which is a registered charity dedicated to the Red Fox.
