Baby fox eating left over squirrel food at night

[MapleRidgesquirrel]

I've noticed a baby fox eating the left over squirrel food at night time the last few nights. I'm wondering if I should start picking up the left over food so the fox doesn't eat it or if its ok the let the fox eat their leftover food at night time?

I generally don't like leaving food around over night. Attracts fox and raccoons that can kill squirrels.

Thanks , I will put less out and pick up what food is left over. It's hard not to feel sorry for baby foxes that appear hungry but I guess they are still a danger to squirrels when they grow up.

I actually discovered that I HAD foxes because they loved the peanut butter Mazuri blocks I put out for my wild squirrels so much! Baby foxes are adorable. But the parents should be around. They hang with the parents until they are pretty much indistinguishable - lots of time spent learning to hunt. If these are hungry and thin and not with adults, they NEED help.
