@Andrew Bailey Yes, but you were being not only an asshole but a brain melting one. If I was more reasonable and less irritated I could have more productivley asked ' 'Why do you want to corrupt the current discourse, what do you gain from this bullshit?'' Alas, I did not and as such I continue to contain multitudes and succumb to my own similar flaws. I can at least comfort myself knowing that caring for animals doesn't much compare to murdering them.
@Andrew Bailey Well I genuinely feel much worse now the idea that feeding eggs to foxes is somehow almost equally as bad as working a slaughterhouse I think put a hair up my ass. My response was unfair because it was illogical and emotionally driven. My sincerest apologies I will try to be more thoughtful not only around you but others in the future, I should have turned this off for an hour before offering either response.
I never knew there was such a variety of fox colors and patterns until I started watching this channel. And I LOVE how excited they get for their egg! They're like my cat whenever I'm cooking. "You have something for ME?"
There's a ritual in our house. My spouse gets ready for dinner, and the cats sit right by him, waiting for their "snips". I cook a little extra meat, then snip it with kitchen shears into small bite-sized pieces. It's hilarious.
@@Jose04537 Thank you for that information. I, too, was wondering about all the wonderful colors and patterns. After liberating the animals, every fur farm should be razed. Like the Romans razed Hattusha; there wasn't much beyond rubble to show anything had ever been there. I wear leather, because I eat beef, why waste hide? I wear deerskin, my kin hunts for meat in the freezer! Not racks, again, though, why waste the hide? I don't know anyone who eats fox, mink, or any other animal 'farmed' for it's fur. That is wrong on so many levels! These are beautiful animals. Those coats look better on them than on a human.✌😸

The different reactions of each of these foxes upon receiving their eggs are priceless. Some are totally indifferent. Some take them and bury them. Some eat them right on the spot. Still others run off with the eggs as if it’s the last egg on earth and their very existence depends on that egg.
We think of them as calm, mysterious creatures, which is why the “Cat software” saying is popular. But you watch actual videos and realize that no, they’re not calm creatures at all
Golden Retrievers have a very similar phenomenon with their mouth grip. They are extremely gentle with their mouths, and that's usually why they're considered great pets to have with young children
I love how the ones who received eggs are sitting PERFECTLY to get another. Looks like my dogs trying to angle for their buddy's biscuit. And the black scrapping with the tan at the beginning is sooo like our two new pups.
I never realized how much vertical space a fox would take advantage of! Look at Felix, climbing right up that tree... I'll have to be more mindful to look UP the next time I walk through fox habitat.
Seeing these foxes so elated to get an egg makes me happy. I've personally been struggling a lot recently so videos like these always brighten my day :)
Heeey there fellow depressed person 🙋♂️. I've been severely depressed for about a year and a half now, I don't have the will to get put of bed or eat most days, usually just sleep and cry out of emotional and literal physical pain.

I love how Serafina is so determined to get that egg. Also look how fluffy Vixie is!! She’s like a extra thick loaf of bread. And a wild Felix has appeared!
Vixie seemed so polite. if anyone's curious about Valentine's mouth like i was, it seems to be a genetic deformity called Gingiva Hyperplasia, where his gums constantly continue to grow. i also found notes that this effects fur quality in those afflicted, but i havent verified that
Yes I was immediately worried for Valentine and wondering what was wrong with his mouth. Thanks for the clarification. He looks like he's an elder fox and I thought maybe his teeth had fallen out and he had a really bad infection. Poor boy. I hope he isn't in any pain. I'm glad he is being looked after by a good steward of the Earth. This is the way humans are supposed to be to the Earth and nature. Not hostile and destructive.
I’m just glad he’s still eating, playing, happy, and loved by Mikayla and the foxes. Valentine is such a trooper, and Mikayla is super awesome for giving all the care he needs.🦊🦊❤️
@@Mc-lv3rq I totally agree Mc23 that humans are suppose to be stewards of the Earth which includes wildlife, trees, everything nature.

I had no ideal that foxes comes in different colors. If half of them were to get out into the wild, people would mistaken them as fluffy dogs! They are adorable and thanks for your kindness of saving these precious fur babies!
@@airplanemaniacgaming7877 Okay? I know that it's a rescue lol, but thanks for the info I guess? I was just sharing that their colors aren't naturally occurring...your comment comes off as a little condescending..
Wow! That's so sweet. The foxes' egg-carrying skills are amazing... not a one broken. Do they rob eggs from nests in the wild? They are awfully good at it!
@Phyllis Cole There's another comment that says he has some sort of gum condition. The vet is waiting on speciality tools apparently. Valentine is a trooper to put up with that.
@Phyllis Cole to be honest I am not sure. If the vet is ordering the tools though I would hope they at least think whatever Valentines has can be treated.
Man I haven’t seen something this adorable in a while. The concept of giving an egg to foxes and then watch them walk away with it is hilarious as well.
It’s great to see that you have different relationships with all these foxes - you’re respecting their boundaries and not blaming them if they don’t come right up to you (I’ve seen that with cats before and it sucks). I know it’s literally your job, but it’s cool to see someone who knows egad they’re doing :)
Wow I didn't know foxes were so diverse in their appearances . they're all so beautiful and they don't look like typical foxes. I never seen an all white fox before or a black one . Looks like she has two that look like the typical fox like Dixie. This is so cool to see them in a big free environment where they can have room to run and climb trees. 👌
I think a lot of the color/pattern variations only emerged after folks started actively domesticating foxes. Not even intentional color changes, just side effects of selective breeding for good behavior around humans.
They're all obese. They don't look 'beautiful' to me; they look unhealthy and now they are dependent on humans to feed them as they are far too fat to hunt or scavenge independently.
Every face is so unique and beautifully precious. How you remember their names is amazing. They have so much area to run around too. What a great place for them live out their days. Thank you for saving and loving these beautiful creatures.
I didn’t know foxes can go up on trees like that, they are kind of between a cats and dogs , very beautiful and interesting creatures, nice to see they are been rescued.
He's all "what egg? I didn't see any egg!! You're an egg! I'm just here mindin' me own sweet bidness..and the Po' po come rollin' up in muh grill, 'coozin' me of burying eggs! I'm shocked!

@@karamoonstonewolf2534 yea but then how would they get eggs in the wild then? I heard or read somewhere a while ago that foxes had eggs in their diet, but never really bothered to think more on it until now. I wonder what other criteria in the wild do that people don't usually think they can do.
@@bethanydavis9023Okay thank you. I don’t know much about foxes, but I can give you a l m o s t every detail about wolves! I’m a wolf fanatic, you should see my room lol.
My first time here - RUclips randomly offered me this video. I have to say, I'd be fascinated to watch a video of them actually eating eggs. I've never seen a fox eat eggs before and it never really occurred to me that they might be egg eaters. I'd love to watch them if possible. These foxes are beautiful creatures!

wow all these foxes are gorgeous. I never knew there were so many variety of colors. I love how some when you were asking them to sit just kept bouncing.. it is like they were saying "I can't sit still I am too excited to get my egg and some attention."
These are fur farm foxes. Means they are bred specifically / experimented so that they have these fur patterns to be sold. Natural fox fur patterns in the wild are not like most of the foxes here.
@@Kakashi19-69No they were not specifically bred to have these patterns. People want a fox's fur and not some black and white fur. Google The Silver Fox Experiment. It is an ongoing russian experiment (60 years now) about domesticating foxes to make them more docile and easier to handle in fur-farms. An unwanted side effect occurred which is among others the different colorations, floppy ears etc. The fur farms did NOT want those colorations!
@@helpagames5952 the foxes from that experiment that don’t get adopted are sold to fur farms so even if they are from that experiment they can still be rescued from fur farms
For anyone wondering about valentines mouth Valentine arrived at Save a Fox when he was a year old, after it was discovered he had a genetic deformity called Gingiva Hyperplasia, meaning his gums never stop growing, requiring annual surgery to be trimmed. “When the foxes are born with those deformities, the fur farms don’t necessarily want to use those foxes for breeding again,” explains Raines. So, they call her. They call her when they have foxes who are sick or have deformities, have been rejected by their mother, or who are born with poor quality fur. “We have four foxes who were born without guard hairs. Most foxes have a double coat layer, and they need that double coat layer in order to be pelted [killed and skinned], for their fur to be useful.”
Jack isn't burying it for later, he's been studying agriculture and is planting an egg tree so that all the foxes can have eggs whenever they want!

ikr :)
So cute and fun. So, so much love here in this lady and her rescue and sanctuary 😊❤❤❤❤❤!!!
The different reactions of each of these foxes upon receiving their eggs are priceless. Some are totally indifferent. Some take them and bury them. Some eat them right on the spot. Still others run off with the eggs as if it’s the last egg on earth and their very existence depends on that egg.
Some climb up to the highest branch of a tree 😝

Some of them. Sorry it annoys me when people say some do this some do that. Some of them do this. some of them do that. it sounds better.
Did we see anyone eat it immediately? I didn’t
@@JJ-xt2dq I didn’t see it 🤔
You'd think of a fox as slim and calm, so I love how over half of them are happy fox-loafs
The winter coat is what makes them look so big and fluffy, but I'm sure they're well fed as well. ^-^
It’s definitely a winter coat :3 she explains that in some of her vids
*B R E A D F O X*
We think of them as calm, mysterious creatures, which is why the “Cat software” saying is popular. But you watch actual videos and realize that no, they’re not calm creatures at all
Winter coat baby!
The fact they can hold an egg gently enough to full on sprint is amazing.
Golden Retrievers have a very similar phenomenon with their mouth grip. They are extremely gentle with their mouths, and that's usually why they're considered great pets to have with young children

Heeey there fellow depressed person 🙋♂️. I've been severely depressed for about a year and a half now, I don't have the will to get put of bed or eat most days, usually just sleep and cry out of emotional and literal physical pain.

@@Kermit_E_Frog thanks man, I've been contemplating on going to the doctor but I know they'll just give me a bunch of pills and I don't want to feel happy just because I'm high off of meds. I've also thought about going to a therapist or a group meeting but actually saying my problems out loud really makes me feel pathetic and the last thing i want is sympathy or to be patrionized by a person who doesn't have crippling depression or anxiety. I know what o have to do to try and be better but I just choose to stay in bed instead because the weight of my thoughts weigh me down and also the literall weight I feel in my chest 😔
@@jerrysmith520
Don't be put off therapy. I know exactly what you mean about feeling pathetic and not wanting to be pitied. But therapy and medicine can really help. Maybe look into CBT? That can give you tools to help manage things yourself. And seriously, if you are having suicidal ideation and harming yourself, then please, please reach out and get some help.
Best wishes.

Vixie seemed so polite. if anyone's curious about Valentine's mouth like i was, it seems to be a genetic deformity called Gingiva Hyperplasia, where his gums constantly continue to grow. i also found notes that this effects fur quality in those afflicted, but i havent verified that
Yes I was immediately worried for Valentine and wondering what was wrong with his mouth. Thanks for the clarification. He looks like he's an elder fox and I thought maybe his teeth had fallen out and he had a really bad infection. Poor boy. I hope he isn't in any pain. I'm glad he is being looked after by a good steward of the Earth. This is the way humans are supposed to be to the Earth and nature. Not hostile and destructive.
I’m just glad he’s still eating, playing, happy, and loved by Mikayla and the foxes. Valentine is such a trooper, and Mikayla is super awesome for giving all the care he needs.🦊🦊❤️

@Phyllis Cole the same thing here. He couldn't be in a better place. Considering his rotund figure he's being taken care of :)
The gum condition isn’t something that will go away, they just need to get the gums trimmed down once a year.

Wow I didn't know foxes were so diverse in their appearances . they're all so beautiful and they don't look like typical foxes. I never seen an all white fox before or a black one . Looks like she has two that look like the typical fox like Dixie. This is so cool to see them in a big free environment where they can have room to run and climb trees. 👌
I think a lot of the color/pattern variations only emerged after folks started actively domesticating foxes.
Not even intentional color changes, just side effects of selective breeding for good behavior around humans.
@@RipOffProductionsLLC thank you 👌
soviets bred the most friendly foxes they could get and the most evil foxes they can get
both types got different colours
If you think the white ones are cute check out Arctic foxes they are majestic creatures
They're all obese. They don't look 'beautiful' to me; they look unhealthy and now they are dependent on humans to feed them as they are far too fat to hunt or scavenge independently.
It's weird to see animals that look so much like dogs, but move with much more agility like cats

I think some end up being bred that way for fur purposes, if I remember right
Yes it’s a trait of domestication as well and breeding
it's primarily a natural genetic occurrence when foxes are bred with more "positive" and friendly traits and domesticated

My first time here - RUclips randomly offered me this video. I have to say, I'd be fascinated to watch a video of them actually eating eggs. I've never seen a fox eat eggs before and it never really occurred to me that they might be egg eaters. I'd love to watch them if possible. These foxes are beautiful creatures!
I am no fox expert but I do believe they enjoy raiding nests and absconding with eggs! I believe they're natural snake predators in particular.
Foxes + henhouses is a rural "common knowledge" thing. Foxes eat the chickens but also take the eggs.
Ditto for me! As for the "fox in the henhouse," I always assumed they were after the chickens. Never thought about the eggs.
i like how most of the foxes are just "GIVE ME EGG"
and bongo is "I'll put it HERE, gently."

These are fur farm foxes. Means they are bred specifically / experimented so that they have these fur patterns to be sold. Natural fox fur patterns in the wild are not like most of the foxes here.
@@Kakashi19-69No they were not specifically bred to have these patterns. People want a fox's fur and not some black and white fur. Google The Silver Fox Experiment. It is an ongoing russian experiment (60 years now) about domesticating foxes to make them more docile and easier to handle in fur-farms. An unwanted side effect occurred which is among others the different colorations, floppy ears etc. The fur farms did NOT want those colorations!

For anyone wondering about valentines mouth
Valentine arrived at Save a Fox when he was a year old, after it was discovered he had a genetic deformity called Gingiva Hyperplasia, meaning his gums never stop growing, requiring annual surgery to be trimmed. “When the foxes are born with those deformities, the fur farms don’t necessarily want to use those foxes for breeding again,” explains Raines. So, they call her. They call her when they have foxes who are sick or have deformities, have been rejected by their mother, or who are born with poor quality fur. “We have four foxes who were born without guard hairs. Most foxes have a double coat layer, and they need that double coat layer in order to be pelted [killed and skinned], for their fur to be useful.”
