Fox will not destroy my shrub will it?

[Okigen]

At the back of our garden is an enormous shrub that has probably been there for decades to be that big (diameter is c. 2-3m!). I've just noticed there may be a fox den under it because there are cubs. No idea how long they have been there because I have just moved in a few months ago.

I actually quite like foxes so don't mind them hanging in there. But will that destroy the shrub?

No, a fox earth under your shrub will not harm it in any way - badgers and foxes frequently have their setts and earths in close proximity to, or under, trees and shrubs, with no ill effects

Lovely, thank you!
