What Does The White Fox Eat?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    White foxes, or Arctic foxes, will generally eat any meat they can find, including lemmings, Arctic Hare, reptiles and amphibians, eggs and carrion. Lemmings are their most common prey. A family of foxes can eat a dozen lemmings every day. During April and May, the Arctic for will also prey on Ringed Seal pups when the young animals are confined to a snow den and are relatively helpless. Fish beneath the ice are also part of its diet. When its normal prey is scarce, the Arctic fox will scavenge the leftovers of larger predators, such as the Polar Bear, even though the Polar Bear itself will eat an Arctic Fox if given the chance.

    That being said, individuals kept in captivity are usually fed raw meat from a variety of sources, including rabbit.
