Hi
Just a quick question about feeding foxes pork. I have recently read information about feeding foxes, and this info was from a fox welfare organisation. Apparently pork can give them the runs and possibly lead to death. Now I, along with lots of others around my block have put out scraps of pork, he's had the odd chop and sausages, ham scraps, basically lots of pork related stuff, and he's around four years old now, so he ain't keeled over yet!! Very healthy looking animal, no mange - beautiful winter coat with a large bushy tail, so he's in optimum condition.
Can anyone elaborate on why pork shouldn't be given? A neighbour said cat food shouldn't be given, nor pork be given to domestic dogs, but it is the first I've heard of this, and I'm in my mid forties and owned dogs myself - they ate pork scraps with no probs!!
Cheers
Kris
