* Age: Fox kits need to eat more frequently than adult foxes.
* Season: Foxes eat more during breeding season and when raising kits.
* Availability of food: If food is plentiful, a fox may eat only once or twice a day. If food is scarce, they may have to hunt more frequently.
* Individual fox: Just like humans, each fox has its own metabolism and eating habits.
Generally, foxes are opportunistic hunters and scavengers. They eat a variety of small animals, insects, fruits, and vegetables. They may eat several meals a day, but the frequency depends on their needs and the availability of food.
