Actually, two. One looked very much like a fox digging out a
mouse, but the other was fairly neat, 6" in diameter, and turned
a corner. That's a damn small fox! I could easily get mink,
but I didn't think that they dug much. Any ideas?

A test boring for a vixen's birthing den? T'is the right time of
year.

Vixen aren't THAT much smaller! The second hole was such that
I don't believe a fox of either sex could have got in without
making the hole a lot larger. The material doesn't have much
structural integrity.

I know our (Wirral) head game warden reasonably well and he had two
foxes living in an enclosure in his garden, I was amazed visiting
him one day when he introduced me to his two foxes and one of them
stood up on hind legs on my thigh allowing me to stroke him, these
particular pair of foxes he had saved from certain death and were
quite tame obviously, but I will always remember the experience of
meeting a live fox which although I have seen many in the wild I
have never had the honour of stroking one.
