We just trapped our 6th opossum near the compost bin. I thought we could breathe now, but I saw a red fox run through our yard around 7:30 am. When I followed the tracks I found one set and my husband found another set. So there have been at least 2 times the fox has been on our land. The tracks my husband found looked like 2 foxes that merged paths near our garage and then went past our fence and coop. Then down the road I again saw what looked like 2 fox tracks coming together and then traveling side by side. Of course it's possible that one set of tracks went in and another was the same fox coming out (following his own path in the snow)
Does anyone know why we could possibly have so many opossums and if foxes travel in pairs? I need to understand more about both of these creatures to protect my girls.
