Foxes are technically opportunistic feeders as they will basically eat whatever they can find, whether it be small animals or fruit. Foxes are quite cunning when it comes to hunting their prey, often springing at the animal and killing it immediately. Foxes can often be found eating mice and other rodents, eggs, voles, smaller mammals and birds, frogs, snakes, fish, carrion, food that humans have left out, berries, grasses, fruits, grains, etc. While birds are hardest for the fox to catch, they will chase after the winged creatures in times of food scarcity as a last resort if need be.

Foxes are omnivores, it is obvious it Specifically says Meat, and berries/grasses look harder, see my meaning.
Anthony says
are foxes carnivores.it doesn’t even say???
Sam says
if you knew what carnivore, herbivore, and omnivore meant then you would know that to be a carnivore is to ONLY eat meat and since things like grain and fruit were mentioned as things foxes eat they cannot be carnivores so they must be omnivores (creatures that can consume both animal and plant)

They will eat almost anything. We are currently feeding a couple of young foxes who come to look at us when we are eating. I often bake them a loaf of lentils, chopped liver, and egg. This is actually cheaper than dog food, and much more nutritious. They love it.
They eat most of our table scraps, and they like gravy. They adore battered onion rings. There are only two things foxes appear not to like: raw tomato and red bell pepper.
Given a choice, foxes will always go for the meat first. I would too, to be honest.

I forgot to mention this. Late this summer, we discovered quite a few half-eaten plums on our decking. Our neighbour has a low-growing plum tree, and the plums are too large for a bird to carry. You don’t have to be Poirot to figure out who the culprits were.
