Blond Fox: Take a look at this rare blond fox cub, a pale fox cub lacking the dark noise, orange fur and vivid orange eyes. This is caused by albinism, a genetic mutation that affects melanin production. It's a rare form, one that i haven't come across before.
Matt Bett has vixen who has been chosen the hole under a shed at the bottom of his garden for a couple of years to have her cubs. This year she had given birth to three cubs, of which one is blond, not red.
Red Fox: Here is one of the other fox cubs, with more normal colouration, having bright orange eyes, and stunning orange fur with a black noise and darker edges to the ears and eyes.
Unfortunately and in someways typically the day I chosen to go was a rainy and windy, after a nice long warm week of weather too.
I think the poor weather had an impact of the fox cubs and kept them form showing better and spending more time outside of their den, understandably.
The foxes didn't venture far from the entrance hole but still gave me a great look at them and gave me a great opportunity to see the difference between the colour variations of both fox cubs.
If Matt will have me back I plan got choosing a better day and hopefully get them in a good mood where I can watch them out on the lawn feeding and playing.
