We have had some items disappear from the barbeque grill and/or off the table. Finally caught the thief today!

When we were setting the table we heard something in the hedge. Went inside and watched. This little guy popped out, a red fox kit about 3-4 months old. A little skinny but looking healthy. He has developed a taste for chicken. I guess he was waiting for me to put the meat near the grill. Tossed him a boneless breast and he devoured it whole. The problem is he does not have a fear of my children. He walked to within 10 feet of them before I scooted him off.
Last year we had a red fox with two kits in the woods behind our house. This year I saw her in March with a big belly but not since. I hope she is OK but he looks like he might be orphaned and learning on his own. I called one of the local wild life rehabilitation centers. He promised me some info on how to make sure this little guy grows up wild.
