Hey, John,



I’m so embarrassed to say that I have little or no location data on any of my Foxes (vulpina or gloydii). Both are from CB stock (mostly because of how protected they are in most states.)

In almost all my other North American Rat groups I’ve personally collected the breeders, but not the Foxes!



I hope you pursue gathering data on habitat/appearance of vulpina. Sounds like a good project. It would be great to have a “call for pics with locality” on “Field Notes and Observations” Forum.



Regards, Bill McGighan
