Vixen raises six cubs short stop from O’Connell St

A CITY vixen being tracked by wildlife photographer Paul Hughes is feeding her newborn cubs with rats, birds, mice — as well as hot dogs and ham sandwiches.

The new mother, who has six cubs, is spending her days nursing her cubs and playing with them at a city location just one mile from O’Connell Street.

According to Hughes, who has spent three years watching the vixen, the cubs will stay with her until about August or September when they will leave to make their own way in the world.
