- this inquisitive young fox started hanging out in the garden and very quickly wanted to come indoors. as you can see, he was suffering from mange, but thanks to the amazing RSPCA and my local vet I acquired medication for it and within a few weeks its coat started improving and it stopped scratching.

The fox must trust you very much to hop on your lap, glad you helped he or she.
hi andrea. yes.....it didn't take much 'training'....they are very trusting animals and if you offer them food and don't hurt them, they come back again and again. thanks for watching.
@@UrbFoxFact (:
@@UrbFoxFact I hope you take neccessary precautions though like making sure it doesn't have signs of rabies and so foreth, it is deadly to humans after all but amazing video none the less. LOVE it
@@Cryton12345 rabies was eradicated from this country (uk) in 1900. maybe do some research before you make yourself look stupid online.😂
@@UrbFoxFact Wasn't being ignorant, just cautious. sorry though glad it was eradicated
Amazing how you've developed trust of each other. Love it. Keep the videos coming. Foxes are beautiful animals.
Indeed. They are very beautiful and majestic creatures.
thanks guys
He’s looking so much healthier. ❤❤❤❤
gave him meds. 👍🏻
yes he need help, you are really cool helping him with medicines....
thanks jaime.
Well done for helping him/her out. I had the same thing this summer just gone, a family of foxes living at the bottom of my garden and all four of them got mange. So I got hold of some ivermectin and, because they were fairly tame (like this one), I could make sure they got the right amounts at the right times and they all recovered completely. It was such a joy when they stopped scratching and I realised they were on the mend - then their fur grew back
hey adolfo - yes agreed....it was amazing to see the medication working so quickly and seeing the animal's quality of life improve dramatically.
@@UrbFoxFact I thought animals need bath treatments for mange. Amazing how you can help him so easily. Well done!!
@@nataliatsapidou3661 I don't think a fox would let you give him/her a bath 😁 It really depends how bad the mange gets - if it gets really bad then the fox ends up with crusty deposits over its skin, but it takes a long time to get that bad. The main thing is to kill the mange mites that are under the fox's skin, which the medicine does. It takes about four weeks of doses every five days to get rid of all the mites. Foxes groom themselves pretty thoroughly, the foxes in a family group even groom each other, so once they are free of mites they recover quite quickly, although if they have lost a lot of fur it takes a several weeks for it to grow back. Fox rescue centres do bath infected foxes to speed up the healing process, but you can't do that with wild foxes because they will just run away if you get too close.
@@nataliatsapidou3661 yes, and the results were very quick. i've been filming a new litter during covid and will post footage soon. thanks for liking foxes :)
@@UrbFoxFact I demand more videos of foxes
You are a HERO! Thank you very much for helping this little creature.
It's amazing how resilient they are and adapt so easily.
Yeah. I wouldn't be too surprised to see the fox domesticated outside of laboratory conditions at this rate.
they are definitely self domesticating. there's peer reviewed studies about this.
just got recommended like 10 fox videos at once, thanks Al
It's to soften us up for the great rabies pandemic
ha ha....rabies. maybe in the USA....but not here. rabies eradicated here over a century ago.
Dude you are awesome for taking care of that fox :)
thanks man
Cute little fox! And it's pretty rare for a fox to climb into a human's lap. Because even cats in the wild don't do that!
I think this fox grew up being fed by people from childhood because he is too used to being fed by humans for a wild animal.
he grew up being fed by me....and little by little i trained him to jump on my lap in order to get a reward snack. as long as the fox is hungry you can get it to do anything if the reward is a snack.
@@UrbFoxFact HaHa.A snack,a snack,My kingdom for a snack.!!
@@stuart38 Lol
Thats a young one. Very nice. Amazing! Thanks.
Bless you for helping this wonderful creature
i think i got the better deal michael .... look how much fun i had :) if you subscribe and hit the bell, i'll be uploading footage from the latest litter.....with much better cameras. thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Frank trusts you or he wouldn't attempt to jump on your lap, bless him.
What a sweet adorable fox. She has a bit of mange and can be easily treated if she isn't already under treatment. You are so blessed to have such a friendly fox❤🦊
yes, treated for mange by local vet and made a quick recovery. so easy. wish everyone would give mange meds to foxes....they spend half their lives scratching
@@UrbFoxFact Great news. Such a beautiful sweet fox❤🦊
oh my goodness what a beautiful little friend you have 😊❤
yes he was a very interesting foxy experiement. unfortunately he's no longer with us....these guys don't tend to live much longer than a couple of years. keep watching as i'm editing more footage from last year's cubs :)
badass man thank you for your time and effort in making this guy better - ur kindness will be paid forward by the people that see this video - thank u thank u thank u from texas
thanks ryan...more videos coming soon of this year's litter. hit the subscribe button and the bell and thanks for stopping by.
You've done really well to have gained the trust from this Fox. It proves that British rural Foxes are capable of domestication 👦👍🦊
yes definitely on a rapid path to self domestication
Love it and I'm glad you went to bother of getting it meds.
I'm kind of jealous, the most I got was a couple of foxes sniffing my legs when I feed them in the garden. So far my badgers are even less "friendly" but hope springs eternal.
it's all down to luck.
You sir just had a very special encounter. I'm jealous.
i got lucky....and have lots of patience 🤟🏻
The way he hides food in the blanket,......just like my Fox Terrier.
Truly amazing x
Bless you.
thanks dan
So great you helped him !
gave meds. 👍🏻 good now - see other video describing this.
Adorable!
so cute. I want one
they are cute in small measures and mostly destructive and selfish 🤔😀
Wonderful experience!!!!
definitely. thanks for watching.
So lucky x
yes, no amount of wanting can ever take the place of luck. it was a great experience. thanks for watching.
Foxes have been known to make food caches in rows of 10 each, then start another row. You must respect any creature that has to hunt for their food daily to survive. Most people couldnt. Thank you for making the Fox's tough life a little bit easier 🥰
She needs help ! She is pretty ! Thanks you good man
she's a he. gave meds for mange. 👍🏻 good now - see other video on this channel describing this.
Holy crap this fox has seen better days hasn't he? Really poor state to be in. So glad you got him help!
dude thanks for stopping by. yeah...it's pot luck whether these animals get infested with mange....this guy and his siblings got it bad....whereas current litter didn't get affected at all. weather conditions can play a part also. if everyone left food with mange meds in them then these guys would have a much better life.
"Unkempt and rough, the fox walked into my yard, and jumped into my lap. And despite the rancid smell of living in the wild, I couldn't think of anything more beautiful than this moment of trust between man and animal."
yeah totally.
"This is my lap now."
Love it!
Very cool
Sooo cute.
thanks....but what did you think of the fox cub?
Poor fox …looks like he/she is in poor condition..I’m glad that there is some one like u who shows kindness ….keep up the good work man
that fox was almost dead. they don't live more than 3-4 years in the wild. It was on it's last leg.
@@sixslinger9951 oh right....you're the guy with nothing on his channel and no qualifications to speak with any authority....on seemingly anything....yet here you are presenting yourself as an 'expert'. hilarious. jackass - the fox was not 'almost dead' and once treated with meds for his mange (as were his siblings) they all recovered. asshole.
#MAGICAL 💫🙌✨
Aww, you’re so lucky
yes lucky that he was ok with humans. unlucky that he pooped and peed everywhere. thanks for watching. plenty more fox videos on this channel.x
You’re a good man Julian.....a good man.
Mr. Fox knows it too 🙏🏻💜🦊
I wish everyone would respect ALL things living.....even if they don’t understand it or one animal is not as visually aesthetic as the other, respect the pulse and most definitely respect their environment.

Have you got to the stage of being able to pet this little fluff ball yet?
no alas. most foxes run.

😍😍😍😍😍
Poor thing has mange. Have you seen him after you video taped him? I wish I saw your video sooner. I could have suggested that you treat him for mange.
gave meds. 👍🏻 good now
you did a very good deed! respect!
hey thanks
Oh I wonder how he got like that? The wild fox's in my area are healthy looking. Poor thing, I'm so happy he found you♥️
yes it's all about weather humidity and amount of mites around. luck. i gave meds to him and he's good now
hi Julian...what was the medication you used to treat the mites? I have a fox (with only one eye) visiting regularly for food and I think he may have mites or fleas. He won't come close enough to put anything on his fur so I'd have to put something in his food. I did call RSPCA but I didn't get a recommended treatment from them. I read that Ivomec/Ivomectin could be effective.
Ivermectin is good but you need to give the fox 1 does and then a second dose 1 week later and to be safe a third dose another week later. You must also be very careful not to overdose the fox. My preferred choice is bravecto as one does lasts for about 3 months, hope that helps.
hey sorry for late reply. didn't realise this video was getting views. um yeah i should have remembered the name of the meds.
We had an injured fox in our front yard, I rang the RSPCA to help the poor wee thing. After having watched so many wildlife rescue shows, I imagined some sympathetic angel would appear and whisper reassuring words and remove Mr Fox and provide aid until he was well again etc, etc. We are in Glasgow BTW, and when the RSPCA dude arrived, it was some big Glaswegian geezer, naturally being Glasgow, the first thing he said was, aye pal, we canne do anything fer the beast, I'll just put him doon, but as he advanced on Mr Fox syringe in hand, Mr Fox obviously caught wind of his intentions and miraculously revived and ran away, lol, the RSPCA guy looked genuinely crest fallen that he didn't get to dispatch Mr Fox. God knows what happened to the Fox, he had been lying in our yard for hours, during the day, and it looked like maybe one of his hind legs was broken, god knows if he made it or not, I'd guess not.
note to self: never trust the scottish 😆
The rspca are not at all interested in helping wildlife, I could tell you stories that would make your blood boil. Most areas in the uk now have wildlife rescuers, if you have problems again Google for help but whatever you do don't contact the rspca
Amazing video! Just be careful... She has a sore on the right side of her jaw.. She may have mites.
hi lucieni. i said in the video description that he was suffering from mange but that i got medication for him which worked. i'll be posting more videos of him soon and you will see how his coat recovers and he stops scratching so much. thanks for stopping by.
Why the fox he on your lap? Seriously though, awesome you helping the little fellow recover.:)
why not?
The poor bugger has mange.
gave meds. 👍🏻 good now
That fox is showing the beginning of mange. It's losing it's tail fur. It's curable if treated. Fatal if not.
you're correct....but you should read the descriptions on the videos before commenting. here it is: "this inquisitive young fox started hanging out in the garden and very quickly wanted to come indoors. as you can see, he was suffering from mange, but thanks to the amazing RSPCA and my local vet I acquired medication for it and within a few weeks its coat started improving and it stopped scratching."
@@UrbFoxFact Glad it was treated!
Just remember that she is wild and unpredictable at that point

Oh poor dear fox...It's body is like 6 months of neglected body care...Hope it got some medicine for the fox treatment by the lady...
gave meds. 👍🏻 good now - see other video describing this.
He looks mangey. May need to go to the vet. Watching more - Yeah - he’s got a cut near his mouth and shoulder. That’s from itching, scratching and biting the itches. Please take him to the vet.
gave meds. 👍🏻 good now - see other video describing this.
He's still a pup that's why his hair looks nappy and not fluffy in the tail.
hi todd....thanks for stopping by. actually it was the mange that was causing him problems.....nothing to do with his age. the latest batch were really lucky and were fluffy and mange-free all through infancy. i think it all depends on weather conditions in early life and also how attentive the mother is. the mother of the latest batch was full on devoted. i have amazing footage now (i bought some decent cameras) and i will post once i've edited it together.
@@UrbFoxFact good to hear. I had a pup I ordered from a breader, he was 4 weeks when I got him and was a indoor fox, at about 8-10 weeks he looked like the one you have, then sheaded that coat , and had the full fox look like he should of.
@@toddfpacker6793 we can't have them here in the uk as pets. such a shame. i'm thinking of going to fox island in japan....it looks epic.
@@UrbFoxFact why not?
@@chrisstephens6673 It's not illegal to keep foxes as pets in the UK, but it's impractical, especially if the fox has lived wild as opposed to being hand reared from a small cub. Even if it is hand reared, the big problem is that you can't house train them; you can sometimes train them not to poo indoors, but they will still pee, and that pee has a really strong smell that is nearly impossible to wash away. They are also very active and if they are cooped up indoors they will dash around, chew things and generally do a lot of damage. So if you do want to keep foxes as pets, it's better to keep them in an outside run - but they don't like being cooped up, so it's kinder to let them live wild and, if they make friends with you, as some of them do, just enjoy those occasional contacts.
Does it have mange?
gave meds. 👍🏻 good now
Esta raposa está com problemas em sua pelagem e pele...espero que tenha conseguido cuidar dela... é um animal muito lindo..
You are right. That fox has a very uneven coat particularly on its haunches and brush. It really needs veterinary care.
[Edit] Apparently it got it so all's well that ends well.
gave meds for mange. 👍🏻 good now - see other video on this channel describing this. thanks for commenting.
dang. looks like hes got some mange or something going on. is he alright?
as you can see, he was suffering from mange, but thanks to the amazing RSPCA and my local vet I acquired medication for it and within a few weeks its coat started improving and it stopped scratching.
@@UrbFoxFact i love that! is he still around?
What was he eating?
why do you want to know?
That wild fox looks like it has mange. You should call wildlife control in the area and see if they can treat it before you get mange.
if you read the description under the video you will save yourself from writing stupid comments in future. you also can't get mange from foxes since the mites are host specific. go USA!
@@UrbFoxFact You're the idiot. Foxes die of mange all the time. See the numerous videos on foxes on UA-cam. Any mammal can get mange, so don't be so snide and so stupid. And if you can't do that, at least look up the facts, which you seem incapable of.
@@UrbFoxFact man, aren't you the nice guy? total asshole response.
Cute! I know the fox is a wild animal but I think that fox needs a bath. That fox is filthy but that'll likely take months to win that fox over
yeah good luck getting a wild fox to take a bath 😂
It seems urban foxes may be on the path of self domestication like cats. So it will end up i don't own a fox then you randomly find one in the house sleeping in the dogs bed and it refuses to leave it will be i guess i do now. There seems to be a separation between urban foxes and country side ones
it’s true - they are self domesticating. dog foxes are getting smaller and head shapes are becoming more uniform. it’s all part of my insidious plan ;)
is he your pet or a wild fox who shows up for food?
hi - i’m in the uk and we can’t have pet foxes. these are what we call urban foxes - they are very common here because the country is densely populated and foxes are now moving in to share the habitat (and our homes) 🤣

@@UrbFoxFact are you sure they don't just move to the city for the internet?
@@UrbFoxFact been watching a lot of fox vids from jolly ole England.
Poor thing appears to have Mange.
that’s right - he did. the rspca here have a deal with local vets so i was able to get free meds for him and his siblings. worked very quickly and he ended up looking beautiful and fluffy.
Ummm, that looks more like a young coyote than a fox. 🤨🤨🤨
um….so if it were a coyote, it would be the only coyote in the uk. but well done for your stupid comment.👍
Poor wild fox he got scratches.

H has the mange on his skin
it's usually where you get it 🤣 gave meds for mange. 👍🏻 good now - see other video on this channel describing this.
Wish there was something to do for urban foxes and their mange .we have a lor of foxes coming to feed and the mange just destroys them it's just awful.
there is something you can do. contact the rspca and they will authorise your local vet to give you mange treatment for the fox. you then give the tablet to any fox that visits (in a piece of soft food - if you give them something harder they'll more than likely bury it). the fox recovers quickly.
@@UrbFoxFact Thankyou so much for replying and yes I'll do that thankyou again.😘

Probably best not to have them in your house, wouldn't want the fox wandering in the wrong person's house 🤔
too late. 🤣 and they are now getting on the roof and trying to come through the open windows

everywhere......and poop too. see him poop on my kitchen counter in other video on the channel.
@@UrbFoxFact oh no !
@@tanjal2017 no no no no no no 😅
it might be rabies.
hey dummy.....i'm in the uk....we don't have rabies here....or putin.
Wild foxes are carriers of dangerous diseases. Don't forget this.
and olgert fantozzy is a carrier of dumb comments that he has to plague the rest of us with. Don't forget this.
what dangerous diseases?
Ah that's a bad idea makes the animal to trusting of people. And it may get put down if it starts to be a problem with to many people.
you seem to have the future worked out pretty well. can you let me have next week's winning lottery numbers? the fact that it got to trust me resulted in my being able to get close enough to give it medication for its mange....which meant that it didn't die or live in misery. got any more shit advice?
It's a british fox. They're known for being more friendly than most. Even the RSPCA has pages and info up that essentially say "Well, here's the best thing to feed them if you want to. Don't worry, if you don't feed the fox, someone else will."
@@KibuFox well done for being more diplomatic than i was capable of being 🤣🤣
Hope that wasnt chocolat you gave him:p. Thats poison to dogs...
hope you're not drinking petrol today.....that's poison to humans.
i know (and have known for at least 50 years) that chocolate is poisonous to dogs/cats/foxes. anything else you think i ought to know about the world? please tell me.
Nice but I’d be concerned about potential of being bitten even if meant in affection foxes can carry rabies. Also has some mange better to keep feeding in yard not home and avoid direct contact especially if you have children.
hey dumbass - there is no rabies in the country where i live. mange was treated successfully with meds....and i have no children. or did you just want to see your name on the internet and feel important?
This fox has sarcoptic mange and needs treatment.
do you read descriptions on videos....or just want to attract attention? here's what the description says, "as you can see, he was suffering from mange, but thanks to the amazing RSPCA and my local vet I acquired medication for it and within a few weeks its coat started improving and it stopped scratching".
Do not give a fox human/dog or cat food!
but darling.....i'm fresh out of caviar.
I'm not sure getting them to be THAT tame is a wise idea. For every person who will be nice to an increasingly tame fox population, there will those who will encourage one with food and then kill it or shoot it for fun. At the end of the day what you basically see is a wild omnivore that is hungry and is intelligent enough to skip over a couple of obstacles to get food. It should be seen as nothing more than this and I worry that too many of them will become too trusting of humans who do NOT have nice intentions like yourself - the consequences will be terrible.
yes it’s a common response and concern. ultimately, the way i see it is that i’m not responsible for anyone’s behaviour but my own. fortunately in this country (uk) , foxes are protected and very rarely do dumb people do nasty things to urban foxes. my neighbours don’t like them and bang pots and pans when they come into their garden (which is hilarious to watch). they also complain about me feeding seagulls (we live on the coast). i guess we all make connections with the wildlife of our choice....and that’s always going to be in conflict with the wishes of those who don’t like the animals that you like.
What the hell are you trying to do, kill it? You don't feed thing chocolate, it's toxic.
so toni - you watch a video on youtube and suddenly you know everything about the characters in the video, what they are eating and how that food affects them (based on zero knowledge). the 'chocolate' that you mistakenly label as such is actually one of a packet of meat jerky product called 'schmackos'.....sold at my local supermarket pet section. they are treats for dogs. the trick is to check your epistemology before assuming knowledge (and pretence of moral outrage).
@@UrbFoxFact Thanks for the information.
@@toni4729 thanks for the non-apology
I think foxes are one or two generations away from domestication. Hopefully, the fur trade will be extinct by then.
well maybe not two generations.....but it's definitely happening according to all the research. i'm just editing a documentary from all my most recent footage.....so keep in touch.
@@UrbFoxFact Have you heard about the longest running experiment? Some Russians have been selectively breeding foxes with the most friendly ones since the 1950's. They are actually starting to look a little different more like dogs. They have gotten friendlier too.
Some Russians have been breeding foxes to be tame and friendly nonstop since the 1950's and they are getting close. So no I don't think one or two generations is quite gonna do it.
@@actionjksn yes it’s the novosibirsk experiment you’re talking about. it’s selling foxes to americans for pets. problem is that foxes don’t make good pets (yet)
@@UrbFoxFact I didn't know that they started making it to the United States. They may never be able to make them like dogs. It would help if they could breed with dogs, but there is a different number of chromosomes.
I've heard pet foxes can be pretty destructive with your house.
We have some wild cats that look like a lynx called bobcats, and people make pets out of them and they seem to make pretty good pets.
Actually this video is not very funny or entertaining. This Fox is in very poor condition and sustained injuries as well. Playing with it like it's a pet is not recommended this Fox should of been taken to a rescue center or to a vet for treatment and rehabilitation, not been feed chocolate like a spoiled pet.
That’s what I love about the Internet, you get to witness ignorant morons pontificating about crap they know nothing about. This fox was suffering from mange. I say that in the description beneath the video. I also say that I got medication for it and cured it of its affliction. it also has no 'injuries'. I’m also not giving it chocolate (as this moron seems to think) - it’s actually a dog treat called ‘schmakos’. I'm just surprised you didn't go the whole hog and tell me it had rabies and I was now infected. go learn about foxes.....and go learn grammar while you're at it.
