savage, in the beginning of the video, you can see where the young ones are trying to rip the guts out of the mother......horrible.

[Doewhacker]

I got scared just watching that!  

Better get some sponges and poison ready before they destroy all nature.

What a cool video thanks for sharing. I love how the pups scrap with each other to test who’s the alpha pup while mom just  is on the look out. Such cool animals ...

[Cabin Fever]

Cool footage Matt! They sure are cute little critters!

It looks like she's dropping mice or something for them.

The thread heading made me think of the 70/80's!!!!

[grampy]

Awesome footage my friend!   Fun to watch!

[fasteddie]

From the title of this thread,  thought for sure,  I'd see Pygmy, wearing nothing but a smile and a spelunking helmet. .........hehehe.

Thanks guys!

That was one of the clues that tipped me off the den was active again this year. She comes back from hunting with a mouth full of moles and dumps them off for the kits to play with and chew on. One of the 4 holes to this den had a bunch of fly covered moles and raccoon jawbones laying around it so that's the hole I set the cam over. I obviously hit the jackpot with that choice on the first day! 

I've got footage of her returning almost every hour on the hour with another mouth full of rodents. This fox family filled up a 32GB sd card in no time flat shooting 30 second clips. So much I just had to leave out of it.

I was pretty scared to look at this at first. Coming from wooly, I was thinking he had some odd pic of "It's not in the pink, it's in the stink."

 

Happily, this was a very cool vid of a momma fox and her young ones. 

[Dinsdale]

Cool video

[Woody Meristem]

Great catch. That video's outstanding, those Brownings take super videos and you sure found a great spot.

Short answer.... YES!

I'd spend a lot of time with him there... teaching, appreciating, observing, and learning.

and if it was under your deck or behind your shed. You'd be ok with him teeter toddering about in the back yard? Heck my 1 year old just pulls the tail and ears of my golden.

Had one raise 12 in my old house foundation

 Kits got to where they would follow riding lawnmower waiting for crickets and grasshoppers to devour.  Kind of creepy having a pack follow you around  though.

Yes again.

Maybe I just hang around too many dens to know there really is little to no threat as long as you don't go looking for trouble in and around them.

Your one year old should be under close watch whether he's around a fox den or in a shopping cart at the grocery store. It's up to the supervising adult to know just how much their kiddo can be trusted with what they've taught them when they turn their backs on them.

When I saw that title I thought someone was  making a joke about there x girlfriend or something .

Like the video. Young ones are growing like a weed.

Just another little follow up video from the fox den one week later at a different scary hole entrance. This one shot with my refurbished Dark Ops.

It's gonna be a very sad day when these Brownings die.
