No you should not. They are a wild animal. Foxes have specific diets that they need. They can become dependent on humans providing their food and when the human can no longer feed them they could starve. They also may become tamer and braver in regards to approaching humans. Foxes can carry diseases which include rabies. If they lose their fear of humans they may attack if you are close enough and they feel threatened. It's best to leave them to their own and enjoy them from a distance.

Foxes like to eat a wide variety of things. They eat beetles and worms, bread and chicken. You can even feed them tinned dog food. They collect eggs and store them and eat lots of berries. They do not like apples and you should not feed them much or they will depend on you.

It is a myth that foxes raid bins, most have been raided by domestic cats and dogs.

What are foxes like?

Foxes are like a mix between a squirrel and a dog. (sort of) I know because I have a foxes den in my back garden, and I feed them every day. Wild foxes are very shy, and if anything comes near them that they don't recognise, they will flee. See related link, for a picture of a fox..
