One of the best ways to beat a heatwave for a fox is a frozen watermelon. It's cheap, easy, and effective at cooling them off. (lemmy.nz)

Did a fox make this post?

Do foxes really like watermelon? We have a family that lives behind our backyard and they end up eating the rabbits from our garden. I thought they were carnivores.

They do like sweet treats too, and they seem to be fond of frozen watermelon at SaveAFox (nonprofit that rescues foxes).

So Tails liking mint candies is scientifically accurate. Neat!

Oh that’s awesome, I guess we will have to leave a treat since they do such a good job of keeping the rabbits out of our garden.

Watermelons are super expensive here

A small one is easily 10 dollars or more

Which is quite a lot considering its almost entirely water

And water by comparison is super cheap

That sucks! I can get a huge one for under $5.
