Foxy friends?

This is a still from a video caught on our wildlife camera in the garden. The hedgehog was happily chomping away at the food dish when this young vixen appeared out of the bushes and joined him.

The hog didn’t curl into a ball so clearly did not feel too threatened. I read today that sometimes foxes pee on curled up hogs to make them uncurl and can attack them, but also many other accounts of them living peacefully side by side. I suspect urban foxes have many easier food sources than grappling with hedgehogs. Badgers are a different matter though...
