Pumpkin enrichment is a fall favorite here at the Zoo! 🎃 This week, red foxes, Tod, Copper, and Vixey, received pumpkins as enrichment and as a special treat! As omnivores, their diet typically includes small mammals, particularly rodents, as well as occasional fruits and berries. Though the three were unsure of the pumpkins at first, they ended up loving them, particularly chewing on them, and carrying them around their habitat. Tod, Copper, and Vixey joined our Zoo family earlier this spring

Like most foxes, red foxes hunt prey such as mice, which they can detect through the snow, thanks to their advanced hearing. Once a red fox pinpoints its prey's location, it leaps high into the air and nosedives in. Video by Christine Voorhees | NYS Department of Environmental Conservation
