The fox is a hunter of rodents, insects, and even berries. It will also scavenge (eat) dead animals.

Additional Information: A fox is classed a carnivore, but they behave much like omnivores. They are much like most small predators. They will take advantage of whatever their circumstances provide, including the seasons. As fruit, and berries ripen, their diet will shift to include more. They will eat insects, earth worms, beetles, and crayfish. But they will also take rabbits, birds, eggs, lizards, fish, and new born fawn occasionally. The fox is very flexible, and when hungry will eat a wide range of prey and other things as well, including dry seeds, and fruit, carrion or scraps, pet food from the bowl, and eat food from the garbage.
