This fox cub managed to end up inside Alan and Carol Heard's bathroom at six o'clock in the morning. Mrs Heard was in bed when she heard scratching and went to investigate, thinking her cats were having one of their regular squabbles. Instead, she found Basil Brush Junior perched on the window ledge staring at her. 'Some towels had been strewn around the floor, but aside from that the fox did no damage and made no mess,' said Mrs Heard, 64, from Ilford, Essex. 'He was good-natured and appeared very nervous.' Mrs Heard had the presence of mind to take a picture of the intruder, which probably got in through the cat flap, before calling for her husband. Mr Heard, 72, scooped up the cub in his arms and took it out to the garden where it disappeared into the undergrowth. A wildlife expert for the RSPCA said: 'It is exceedingly rare for a fox to enter a house. There about 33,000 adult urban foxes in our towns and cities and it is estimated that the total adult fox population in Britain is 258,000. Source
Somewhat off-topic but I almost hit 2 foxes on the road last night. It certainly made the (otherwise boring) trip on a blackened out country road much more interesting!
The fox hasn't had bath for a long time and it was waiting all these days to enter Mrs Heard' bathroom to wet itself. Poor fox! It was caught before entering the bath tub
Thats great to have a fox in house. If it would have happened here, I would love to see my dog's reaction...
