Some unusual friendships have developed between a number of Co Offaly farmers and wild foxes, largely due to restrictions associated with Covid-19.A wild fox began visiting his home over two months ago, and since then, the trust and friendship between the two has developed.After a few whistles and calling him, the fox appears.Mr Bergin said that he has been cocooned at home for over two months and that the fox has broken the boredom for him."He comes nearly every evening when I call him.
The organic farmer has been feeding them three times daily for the past two months. He said that the restrictions of Covid-19 has given him a better appreciation of his natural surroundings."Before this, I wouldn't have given much heed to two fox cubs one way or another. But now I find that I'm more alert to nature and my surroundings."
Mr Guinan said that the fox cubs were very small when he first saw them, but that they are now growing strong. "I really love watching them grow, it's really fascinating to see their individual personalities develop, but I'm careful not to get too close and respect their wild nature," he added.

One thing I've known before this article started trending, is that many foxes are unbelievably friendly. There's tons of videos on YouTube about foxes getting along wonderfully with humans, this is nothing out of the ordinary at all.
They are SO CUTE!

Beautiful story. Unfortunately hunt scum will now descend on these men’s farms come October and rip their furry friends apart. Bit of forethought wouldn’t have gone amiss.

Oh that makes me heart sing. Beautiful.
Please don't feed wild animals bread and milk. These beautiful creatures need protein 'The bulk of a fox’s diet is made up of meat protein, so the best things to feed your local foxes are cooked or raw meat, or tinned dog food. They are also fond of peanuts, fruit and cheese.'
