Next Steps
Now that the vet knew what kind of animal this was, she had a request for the firefighters. She asked that the animals be returned to the spot where they had been found. Since they were foxes, it was likely that the mother fox was resting somewhere else. She was likely coming back in the dead of night, only to find that her babies were gone! They needed to be returned immediately, in case she was looking for them.

Back Again
The firefighters put the animals back in the same area as they had found them. Since the animals hadn’t actually been found right in the sewer, perhaps there was a chance the mother was looking elsewhere for them. They couldn’t be sure that this was where she would search, but there was a good chance she would smell and hear them when she was looking. They left the babies in a safe place in a close by location, making sure they were safe and warm. They then had a stakeout of sorts, watching and waiting for the mother.
