We took Fox educational experience with petting and feeding options. All rescued foxes are well treated and I gratefully appreciate for how they live in a safe and lovely place. We learned how they have spent their early days and how they came there in detail, which was great to understand in depth about who they too. optional petting and feeding experience is definitely “one-of-a-kind” experience for any fox (animal) lovers. Lena, the red fox was so cute and very gentle while interacting. strongly recommended!
