. Fig. 12.—An inexpensive type of den. Table in foreground is for the food of parent foxes ; by means of it young cubs are prevented from obtaining too much meat. the wire is heavier. It may be of 2-inch mesh in 14, 15, and 16 gauge. The lower part of a fence should be made of the heaviest wire ob- tainable, the lighter grades being used for the middle and upper parts. As very young foxes are likely to become entangled in 2-inch netting or even to go through it, many fox breeders use only 1^-inch mesh. Those having 2-inch mesh usually reinforce it from 6 inches above the surface of the ground
