Fox Removal From Under A Deck In Markham

Foxy Friday! A Series

This weeks fox feature is of mom. In our Youtube video you can see how confused she was when she first approached our reunion box. She dug up quite a bit of dirt behind the box as you can see in the photo. After a few minutes, she became more comfortable and grabbed one of her babies from the box. Within 5 minutes she had returned and relocated all her babies across the street to a safe place.

If you are new to our page or aren’t familiar with the job, this past April Gates Wildlife was called on to humanely remove a family of foxes from underneath a residential deck. There is a YouTube video on our page of the skillful removal of seven four week old baby foxes and you are able to watch their mother instinctively relocate them to their new den.

We are honoured to have been featured on many different social media platforms via popular pages such as The Dodo, recently on Unilad and many many more around the world in response to this video.

I always love to show my followers our exciting adventures that we get to go on. This job is always teaching me something new and it’s so fufilling being able to share my knowledge with all of you. I am very thankful to have the platform to do so and that all of you enjoy learning about the amazing wildlife that lives all around us.

If you have yet to see our YouTube video on this removal, I recommend you do it is TOO cute!
