Foxes have a highly varied and adaptable diet as omnivores, meaning they eat both animal and plant matter. Animal-based foods :

• Small mammals such as rabbits and rodents (mice, voles, rats)
• Birds, including ground-nesting and urban birds like pigeons
• Amphibians like frogs and sometimes reptiles such as small snakes and lizards
• Invertebrates including insects (beetles, moths, craneflies), earthworms, spiders, and occasionally molluscs
• Eggs, which are prized for their nutrients
• Carrion (dead animals)
• Occasionally fish and shellfish, especially in coastal areas

Plant-based foods :

• A variety of fruits and berries such as blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, cherries, apples, plums, grapes, and even yew berries (the fleshy aril, not the toxic seeds)
• Nuts like hazelnuts
• Some grains and vegetables, especially in urban or agricultural areas
• Seeds and tubers

Foxes' diets vary seasonally and by habitat. For example, in autumn, fruits and insects become more important, while in winter, scavenging carrion and food waste is common. Urban foxes often scavenge from bins and eat food waste, adapting well to city life

. In summary, foxes eat a broad spectrum of foods including small animals, insects, fruits, and human food scraps, reflecting their opportunistic and adaptable nature.
