Hi everyone, this year I adopted a badger for Malcolm because he loves them and this rescue place sent him a big toy badger, we had some post from them saying they were adopting foxes too, again they send you a toy fox, it never arrived but they had taken the money, when Malcolm rung them they said that the foxes hadn't arrived, I just adore foxes but have had to settle for an otter, love them too of course love Jaspercatxx

    Hi Jaspercat

    Sorry you didn't get your fox. Perhaps Santa will bring you one for Christmas.

    I've got a whole family of foxes you can have, Jaspercat. They live next door to me in a neglected garden and keep me awake half the flippin' night.

    I wouldn't mind so much if they didn't want to come in
    I open my door and there's a fox sitting two feet away looking at me wistfully.................

    Hi jaspercat sad to hear it, I love badgers same as you, we were driving down Garsens hill in the village of Ipsden the other month and a pure white one ran out from the woods and across the road lovely looking animal, we know where the set is and a few of the pub locals have gone there in the late evening to watch them, he's a big male and must be 5 or more years old. :)

    Hi Mellman, I would dearly love to see a badger up close, they are such lvely animals, I can't understand why the farmers think they are responsible for tb in cattle, no is no evidence. I love all animals except for spiders and ants, I have seen otters up close, they are lovely, but I would love to see a fox or even own a fox cuddly.

    The otter cuddly will find a lovely home amongst my collection love Jaspercatxx

    I'd be wary of the foxes with the rabbits.
    We had a fox after our rabbit & i got up 1 morning,the rabbit took his carrot but something wasnt right.
    His back legs were in the sleeping part of the hutch & when i looked he couldnt move them.
    I rushed him to the vets & she had to put him to sleep.
    She said it was proberbly a fox that had scared him,he'd then hit his back on the hutch & broke his back & was paralised.
    Poor snowbell(daughters rabbit)we'd paid a fair bit for him from a rescue centre then the vet bill.was the most expensive rabbit weve ever kept & ive had many over the years.
    luv debs(who doesnt keep bunnies any more)
