There is a fox having a nap in my garden right now...

I was in my kitchen and just saw that there is a fox having a nap in the middle of my garden.

Any suggestion of what to do?

We used to have urban foxes living in our communal garden and they just went about their lives when I was in London but I have never had the pleasure of finding one in my own garden....

I don't want to chase it away but I also am wondering if it might be injured (and who to call if it is?) or if it is planning on squatting my garden from now on...

Any advice on how to deal with this?

I have a cat but it is staying indoor at the moment as I have only had her for a couple of weeks so I am not worried about her being at risk.

Do people have foxes in their garden? do you feed them?

Our local fox would eat the hedgehog food, I had a double dish and the fox would eat from one and the hedgehog the other (at the same time)

A PP mentioned badgers in their garden and no hedgehogs.

Badgers eat hedgehogs, they unroll them and eat them from the belly so it is unlikely you will find both in the same garden, or even area.

Omg that's horrific I didn't know that!

That fox is probably just chilling after a night of very very noisy mating. Do not feed them, they have plenty of food sources.

we have multiple foxes and I can see three right now sleeping on shed roofs. I think they look cute until they shit on everything in the garden, on the garden furniture, on footballs and through garden lights. That plus the chewing of the corners of all my new garden furniture and shagging outside the kitchen window screaming has put me right off….

I go everywhere, man
Across the gardens bare, man
I breath the city air, man
Of travel I do my share, man
I get everywhere man...
