No, they only eat other foxes when in great distress like being in a fur farm, for there is no food given to them there except the other dead animals' bodies.
Short answer no. However, if the fox is dead, and the other one is starved, there is a chance. But in a normal enviroment, a fox wouldn't eat another fox.

Depending on the breed, foxes can have different lethality.
Usually foxes are scared of adult humans, but may not be so scared of children or small pets. Foxes are apt to get rabies, so it is better to avoid them if you see them. As we invade their habitat with houses, etc. we are more likely to see wildlife in our neighborhoods. These are not Disney animals; they can be dangerous. Give them plenty of space when you see them.

What is the main reason the red fox is endangered?
It was endangered a long time ago because in the 1800's the red fox was considered pests to people. So they poisoned their food sources, trapped then, and hunted them in vast amounts. Also around 1900, many where killed accidentally from predator control programs that where aimed at removing (killing) wolves, coyotes and ground squirrels from the prairies. Today people still hunt them and trap them for their furs. Also they hunt them for the skill it takes to kill one because they are very clever and good at escaping predators.
Where does the black fox live?
The silver fox is a melanistic form of red fox (Vulpes vulpes).
