What Does A Fox Eat?

Answer Question

13 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Foxes are generally omnivorous and though they prefer meat, they also eat nuts, berries and any sort of fruit. It is not uncommon for them to eat vegetables and even grains. Many species of fox (especially Red Foxes) tend to prefer living close to human settlements especially farms. They are smart animals and realize that this is a hunting haven for them as they have access to mice, rabbits as well as the farmer's poultry and crops.

    Gifted with a keen and good judgment of smell and hearing foxes make superb hunters. Those living in the wild tend to be better hunters. They easily uncover birds' nests or animal burrows and dens. They eat almost anything including eggs, frogs, lizards, earthworms, insects, and if desperate for a meal even decaying animal flesh. They are generally nocturnal hunters and often bury any uneaten food so that they can come back for it when they are hungry.

          Foxes are omnivores that prefer meat. During tough times the fox can eat nuts, berries and any fruit. Some types of fox (especially red foxes) live near humans. As they are smart animals they realise that they can eat mice and farmers meat and poultry.

            Seriously, someone I worked with woke up drunk last night and found a fox eating her toes. Luckily her overweight cat rescued her. She's limping quite badly now and if she stands still she starts to fall to the left because her big toe is completely gone.

            Fox most likely would eat any kinda of meat, animal type.
            Veggies would also be delightful to the fox.
