The animal chooses the high-caloric food since this would benefit it the most, and given foxes' great sense of smell I'm sure they can pick which food items those are. This instinct to seek high calorie food doesn't just go away because of abundance - it's why both humans and foxes get fat when provided with an over-abundance of these high calorie foods

I too wouldnt like to eat worms if I can eat human food.

The BBC are too busy being woke, to even read the Wikipedia page on red foxes.

I'm a retired Autoworker from Ontario, Canada. Between 2002-2016 I worked at the GM Assembly Plant in Oshawa, On. In 2008 I was transferred to a new area of the plant. It was 6am. A half hour before shift start. I was new to the area. There was a break area I decided to go to before work started. This was a smoking area and was on the roof above my work area. It was 5 stories above ground level. As I relaxed on a bench having a coffee. I saw a small shape coming towards me from about a 100 meters away. It wasn't light out yet but as it got closer I could see that it was a fox. I was pretty surprised seeing the small predator on a 5 story roof. This was also a huge manufacturing complex. I have seen many different species of animals on the grounds and inside of the 2 plants I've worked at over the years. This was more unusual than most though. I've seen all variety of bird from Sparrow to Seagulls to Mocking Bird... Mice, Rats, Snakes, Frogs, Possum, Raccoon, Cats and Coyote. I've never seen a Coyote inside or on the building though...lol. This Fox wasn't stopping. I shouted, "Get out of here!"... Kept coming...till it was just feet away and still coming. Walking...not running aggressively. Non the less I was worried. Thinking it must be rabid. I actually had to put my leg straight out pushing the Fox back with the sole of my shoe. It backed up a couple feet, looked puzzled at me. I stood up and it trotted back the direction it came. I think it wasn't rabid but habituated by employees possibly feeding it. In the St Catherine's facilities. There was a population of feral cats in the basement. That were trapped and removed before a construction project was started. When complexes of these sizes with massive footprints are built. It's inevitable that they will hold a population of local wildlife. Sometimes even animals or insects not native. Many crates and packages from other countries are received. Who knows what stow aways may have been in them?

I also live in the GTA. Urban foxes regularly approach people in my neighbourhood. They live so close to humans and are often accustomed to handouts and friendliness from people so they start behaving more like dogs. I was walking early one morning in June in a residential area and saw a very young kit, probably just starting to explore away from its den, walk right up to me expectantly. It even walked alongside me for a short while, as if it was my 'off-leash puppy'. They learn early that people = food/affection. The ones I saw last summer were burying squirrels in people's flower beds - caching food, which they do when there's a surplus of food available. Basically they had more than they can eat. No wonder they like the suburbs and urban areas and stick around!

"Oh my gosh. Worms! Yuck. You think they eat those?" - "Probably, those animals...!" - Mr. and Mrs. Fox, I think

Doesn't surprise me at all, we dump various scraps out in the woods nearby semi regularly just to see what we pick up on the game camera. Over time theres a pretty familiar pattern on whats eaten first; anything meat is eaten immediately, then anything fried, then processed foods like stale chips or cereal. Fruit is eaten after that (unless its deer, deer love fruit) then last is stuff like stale bread, cooked veggies and deer corn.

Hypothesis: Our food is better in every way, especially served hot and ready on a plate; so of course the foxes will choose it over dirty worms and fruit.

The problem with wild animals eating human food is that the animals have no where else to go. As people move into animal territories, the animals are forced to eat what they can find and if food left out by people is the easiest way of finding food, then they'll go for it. Neighborhoods can't just leave the areas they move into, so either people need to stop throwing out food or just live with fat foxes.

Nah that poor guy just missed breakfast is all.

I used to feed a fox regularly, I tried a variety of foods (don’t judge me please), his favourite food was Cheetos (yes the cheesy crisps), and meat and fish. He didn’t like bread (which was a surprise) and he didn’t care too much for dog biscuits either, although he would eat one if nothing else was available. I learnt that foxes are some fussy eaters! Who’d of thought it, I thought they eat anything.

Maybe the fox chooses the egg, sausage roll and bread with jam because those foods taste better to them. When they have a choice, they go for the tasty foods.

Seems like the fox is angling for a place in the human home. This and seeing some urban foxes just hopping into laps for attention and affection, they might be trying to play the same self-domestication game the cat did. They're certainly adorable enough to do it.

The fox around here kept coming in and eating my dogs food. Now whatever the dog doesn't eat and all our leftovers go into bowl and he has at 9 every night, literally waits near the door. In return though he's killed just about every rat around here.

Just as useful as a barn cat in truth

I feed the foxes that visit our garden but I always give them a healthy diet, and on the whole they are in quite good shape, I have some film footage of them on my channel under the title Red Foxes, the food they have in front of them in the video is a mix of bread, Weetabix broken in two ( this is really for the birds ) mixed in with dried complete dog food; as you see in the film footage the foxes pick out the small pellets of complete dog food and seem to enjoy it.

wow! that is such a news .. and shocking it is strange how getting accustomed to certain types of diets - though harmful - can become habitual I am actually thinking of us - humans - as well. We over-depend on not-so-healthy foods but sadly become unaware of their artificiality. We should reconsider this; especially with the children as it is easier to shape their behaviours.

The paper plates the food is on made me laugh. I bet that's how it did the picking and choosing it did; it wouldn't have had anything if the food had just been on the ground.

We back on a river in Delaware, US. We have lots of foxes...

For crying out loud, BBC, this was a terrible experiment, and you know it. Even if the point you are making is a very valid and important one. The food is in the open, near a house. The foxes are going to want to grab whatever is closest, fastest and safest to grab, whilst hopefully getting the most calories out versus the effort and risk involved. That's basic behaviour, and this example does not show any change. They went for the eggs and the sausage rolls first, as they were closer to the cover of the bushes, easiest to grab and run with, and contained the highest calorie count. They were unlikely to make any other choice. A lot of the general change you're talking about has been largely due to urbanisation of the population, rather than direct human intervention. They take advantage of the best food source available. They don't have to put too much time and effort or risk in to get to the high calorie reward of processed food in a bin. What would be very valid and very interesting would be an actual look at changes in urban foxes fear responses in response to human proximity, and whether they're more inclined to take risks even when there's no environmental pressure forcing them to do so, in contrast to their more rural cousins.

Thank you! I was coming to say the same thing. It's such a poorly designed experiment. Even if country foxes eat berries and worms, that doesn't mean they like to eat them. There's no baseline to see which of the "natural" foods they prefer. Maybe they would never take the berries even if there wasn't sausage next to it. Furthermore, how can you compare berries to a sausage roll. Why not a raw mouse compared to a sausage roll or something a little more equivalent. How awful for a somewhat reputable source to display such poor practices. It just furthers misconceptions.

I work paper distribution in Copenhagen, and I can confidently say that Urban foxes are FAR FAR braver around humans than rural foxes, the difference is IMMENSE. Rural foxes will spot you 100 meters out and keep an eye on you and get the fuck outta sight real fast. Urban ones, well if they are skittish they will flee when they realize you are nearby and able to see them(or they see your lights) Inner city urban foxes, oh they can be convinced to stop and look at you if you talk to them, they are much less fearful to the point where they seem more upset about moving lights as that means danger, than humans on foot, the instant your on foot in an inner city at night and its you and a fox? If your brave you can get into pet distance with little fuss, wont recommend it but they aint skittish

“That’s a fat fox”

Even foxes are becoming obese just by eating human's leftover junk food

Slow but sure domestication process going on.

Im in Vaughan, Ont. saw a fox last night, standing in the middle of the road..I approached in my car as close to him as possible, and pur down the window, and yelled at him to get off the street....he looked and me and got off the street, I pulled up across from him and asked him if he were stupid...not all humans are nice you know....with that I left...to live another day...

So the foxes came to our cities and now they adapted to our lifestyle, getting fat in the process.

There's a difference between the average lifespan for a fox and how long they can live if nothing bad happens to them. Average lifespan is short for a number of reasons, but the main ones are (a) infant mortality is high - that's why foxes have quite large litters, and (b) the world is quite a dangerous place - a lot of foxes are killed by cars, some (too many) by gamekeepers - not so much by hunters now as it is illegal, and disease can be a problem. A few wild foxes make it to 8 years or more and in captivity foxes generally live longer than that, basically similar lifespan to cats and dogs; the record is 23.

Hello there!

You should not feed wild animals.

Fat foxes 🦊 😂

"Experts warn..." Don't they just? Just look, for example, at all the dire Climate 'predictions' made by them over the past twenty years - but only if you want a laugh!

No worries, they can get as bold as they want, I’m done with them. I tried to work with them by getting a dog to keep them away from the chickens, geese, ducks....but it’s no use, they keep coming in and kill poultry or lambs, often even more they can carry. So, that’s that. From now on no more lamb and poultry for the foxes but a healthy diet of large quantities of heavy buckshot and partition-bullets. The foxes may be getting bolder, they won’t get much older...

Fatphobia!! A fat fox has HAES! Right? Next they will be demanding winter furs in bigger sizes... and wanting to pay the same price as twiggy ones. 😘

Always remember we must repent of our sins (sin is transgression The Law Of Yahuah The Father in Heaven. The Law are The Books: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, & Deuteronomy). We must repent of our sins and Have Belief On Yahusha The Messiah. HE Died and Rose three days later so that we can be forgiven of our sins! Come to HIM🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
