    Followed the snow tracks of the fox in the fields behind the house. Left some food for him (Raisin's, apple, lamb fat and some dry dog food) ..........


    Foxes are very similar to dogs, and I understood that raisins were likely to give dogs renal problems. Does anybody know if that it correct, and if so, would it not be a problem for foxes also ??

    Could this be due to the fact that raisins are dessicated (dried, whatever)?
