I caught a fox in a live trap baited with sardines. I was trying to catch coons at my feeder. Anyway, I was very surprised at how small the fox was. It was an adult, but I seriously doubt it could kill a domestic cat or dog.

Dry cat food is the ticket for live traps on my block. Any neighborhood that has lots of cats being fed outside daily makes cat food an easy meal choice.

The only fox I ever saw in a live trap was one we had out for Bobcat. Live rooster in the "Bait" part of the cage. same here, at my buddies ranch they trapped a bunch of foxes trying to catch a big bobcat. they used some old deer meat and bobcat piss, but never caught a cat. go figure

Foxes, Housecats, and Roadrunners are a major contributor to declining Quail populations...Foxes do catch some mice, but will decimate a covey of birds...We have no shortage of same..it wouldn't hurt to do some culling there..DD

try peanut butter used to work on coyotes and an occasional fox smeared on tree set when I used to trap. or go to pet store buy a couple of mice for bait.
I dont shoot innocent animals...only the ones that bare thier teeth at me... Semper Fi
