At Black Foxes UK, we’re committed to protecting fox welfare, and one major issue they face is mange, a painful condition caused by parasitic mites. But did you know foxes can sometimes self-medicate using nature’s own remedies? 🦊 💚
Zoopharmacognosy is a fascinating behaviour where animals treat themselves by seeking out plants and natural substances to fight off parasites and boost their immune systems. This concept can help foxes manage their health more naturally.
📢 We’re excited to investigate two initiatives to support wild foxes:
1️⃣ Seed Packs for Fox Welfare – Fight the Mite! 🦊🌱
We’re planning to launch seed packs containing plants known for their immune-boosting and parasite-repelling properties. These include mugwort, lavender, wormwood, and more. By planting these in your garden, you can create a safe, natural healing space for foxes and other wildlife.
2️⃣ Online CPD Course for Rescuers & Wildlife Lovers 🦊🎓
We’re exploring the idea of a CPD-certified course focused on diagnosing and treating mange, in collaboration with organizations like the Royal Veterinary College and the British Wildlife Rehabilitation Council.
How Can You Help?
◾ Would you be interested in our seed packs? 🌱
◾ Would a CPD course on fox mange be valuable to you? 🎓
◾ Know someone who could help make this initiative a reality? 💡
Your feedback is crucial! Please share your thoughts in the comments or message us directly. Together, we can help foxes live healthier, happier lives—naturally.
