An entire family of 'cute' foxes move into garden

A desperate homeowner says her dream back garden has been blighted after an entire family of 'cute' foxes moved in and trashed it.

Zoe Hunt, 39, and husband Dan have become virtual prisoners in her own home since the seven foxes - two adults and five cubs - took up squatters' rights three weeks ago.

The couple had spent thousands of pounds renovating the garden - installing artificial grass, a play area for the children and the composite decking area.

But the fox family tunnelled under the decking and set up home, before they "trashed it", by tearing up the grass and "poohing all over the place". Paediatric first aid trainer Zoe, and Dan, say the foxes may look cute and cuddly, but are actually a nuisance.
