A heart-warming video of foxes enjoying themselves in a Londoner's back garden has gone viral on TikTok thanks to one of them bouncing on a trampoline. The 19-second video, posted by @Cocopopsx who says she lives in London, shows the fox leaping around on the trampoline with 'Jump Around' by House of Pain playing in the background.

It's amassed 30,000 likes in just three days, and people have left comments of appreciation. One viewer said: "London foxes are gangster. I'm going to upload a video with mum and dad taking turns watching while the cubs jump on my grandkids' trampoline."

And a second mentioned how jealous they are. They said: "I'd love to go into my garden and find this! Best I get is my neighbour's cat and he always looks like he's plotting my death."

But even more bizarrely, a third person commented: "I used to have them swinging on the washing line, or laying on the front garden like they were having a family gathering at 2am in the morning."

What do I do if I see a fox in my garden?

The RSPCA advises: "The animals are scavengers, so should they pop up in your garden assume they've already got a good food supply. And be wary that not everybody likes foxes as they can make a mess and leave droppings in their gardens.

"Dens tend to be made beneath items such as sheds. You can test to see if a den is in use by putting leaves and sticks over it, if they haven't moved in a few days then you can assume it's empty.

"If it's in use, then cutting back overgrown grass, walking near the den and making noises can encourage the mother fox (vixen) to move on. However under no circumstance should you poison them as this is illegal."

If you find a dead fox that you suspect has been poisoned, or find evidence of a pesticide that puts foxes or wildlife at risk, call the RSPCA on 0800 321 600.
