The bold vixen is blooming and in a few short weeks will have some extra mouths to feed. Whether we'll be fortunate enough to see them depends on how close her den is. The young foxes will spend the first few weeks safely underground and won't venture a great distance for the following month after that. If their den is very near we may be lucky, but even a few gardens may be a few gardens too far.
