'Exhibitionist' foxes put on lunchtime show for startled Kingswood residents

A pair of foxes caused quite the stir in Kingswood this week with some rather brazen behaviour.

A local resident captured a couple of "exhibitionist" foxes making quite a scene on Saturday (January 15).

He shared the post in a Kingswood community Facebook page and wrote: "These criminals of the night are not just brazen by night but exhibitionists by day!"

The foxes did not seem to worry that they were 'on display' while going at it on top of a garden shed at lunchtime.

The photos were greeted with hilarity, with one woman named Brenda writing: "Wow there [sic] not shy" with laughing emojis.

Kelly seemed to recognise the pair, writing: "These two are always outside ours each evening."

Josie added: "Must be something in the air today, our local Casanova was strutting across the garage roofs this morning making a noise like a spaceship. Guess it translates to "ladies"?"

Brandon wrote: "Last time I did this I ended up in a police car," accompanied by two laughing emojis.

Despite the signs of enjoyment from the fox couple, there were serious concerns raised for the male fox pictured, with many saying that it appears he has mange - a skin disease caused by mites.

Ken wrote: "Can someone please message me where I can treat this fox or who regularly feeds him. His mange will pass on to any cubs or possibly people's dogs if it isn't treated."

Sally added: "Can I have location please … we gonna get a fox rescue to come check on the male as he appears in a bad condition".

Hopefully he is feeling okay and someone was able to track him down to treat him. Nonetheless, he seemed to be enjoying himself with his foxy companion at least.
