The cemetery cubs might be teenagers now but they still carve their mum’s care and affection. This footage of Violet grooming her juveniles with great patience and affection warmed my heart. It is as if she is telling them: “Make sure you wash behind the ears!” and “ Form an orderly queue, kids and wait for your turn!” One of the juveniles is trying to push in and jump the queue but mum is not fooled. Grooming is very important for foxes as it does not just remove pesky parasites but also deepens their social bonds.
Mum now only visits her cubs at the cemetery every few days and only stays for a short while to teach them independence. Most of the remaining juvenile foxes are healthy and strong but two are a underweight. I continue to monitor them closely and support them with supplementary feeding to make sure they have a healthy start of their independent lives as young adults. During the heat wave I brought them 8 liters of water every day which were gobbled up within hours. Small acts of kindness have a big impact on foxes' lives, especially as they are just finding their paws and explore the world.
