Red Foxes are opportunistic omnivores. Their diet is very diverse which helps them to do so well in all environments.
In the Crowsnest Pass, foxes can eat small mammals ( voles, mice, rabbits, even outdoor cats), plants and berries and even insects.
Identifying Red Fox scat can be difficult as it is of a similar size/shape to most canine (dog) scats. When identifying a fox scat, look for the presence of hair, bones and animal fragments.
