There appear (via night-time cameras) to be 3 young foxes and 1 adult living in a natural area adjacent to our house here in Hillsborough. They appear to be active from nightfall to dawn, including on our front porch. The remains of small animals on our front lawn is an almost daily discovery. Would appreciate any advice as to whether they will move on or do we need to learn how to live alongside. You counsel would be appreciated.
