The foxes look great, and I hope they have long, healthy lives.

In Australia foxes are feral vermin and are problematic because of people keeping sheep and chickens (of which they will eat both). Around here they are pretty well supplied with field mice, squirrels, voles, and so on. They have also been seen sneaking into the feed room to snack on sweet horse feed (makes their coats nice and shiny). As another side note, around here "fox hunting" is often referred to as "fox chasing" as (in this part of the US at least) hunts don't kill foxes.
