017 - May: Weaning cubs wander


Listen Later

The fifth of the series exploring what foxes are up to in each month of the year. A vulpine calendar of events, if you will.

MAY - The fox cubs continue to grow rapidly and spend much more time outside the den, exploring their surroundings and engaging in playful behaviour. By now, the vixen has weaned them off her milk, and they are learning to rely on solid food.  What does the vixen do to stop the cubs relying on her milk? Why do you need to make extra sure your small outdoor pets are securely housed this month?

Listen to this episode to hear about what's going on in May in the world of urban foxes and see if it relates to what you've been observing in your garden this month.
