Fox problems

Most foxes live 2 to 3 years. Foxes are usually not pack animals. Typically, they are solitary, opportunistic feeders that hunt live prey (especially rodents). Using a pouncing technique practiced from an early age, they are usually able to kill their prey quickly. Foxes also gather a wide variety of other foods ranging from grasshoppers to fruit and berries.

The diet of foxes comprises rodents, insects, worms, fruit, birds, eggs and all other kinds of small animals. The fox generally consumes around 1kg food every day. Foxes that live in neighbourhoods mainly depend on household waste and even rodents and birds that keep moving around these areas. Foxes are normally extremely wary of humans.

Rabbit problems

The long ears of rabbits are most likely an adaptation for detecting predators. In addition to their prominent ears, which can measure up to 6 cm (more than 2 inches) long, rabbits have long, powerful hind legs and a short tail.

Rabbits have been a source of environmental problems when introduced into the wild by humans. As a result of their appetites, and the rate at which they breed, wild rabbit depredation can be problematic for agriculture. Gassing, barriers (fences), shooting, snaring, and ferreting have been used to control rabbit populations. Rabbits are herbivores who feed by grazing on grass, forbs, and leafy weeds.
