SUFFIELD, CT — A resident of Route 159 is cautioning neighbors that a family of foxes has apparently decided to set up camp in her back yard.

Kasey Frizzell, who lives on East St. North, posted a photo and video of the critters frolicking near her shed to the Facebook group Suffield Forum. She estimated seven to eight foxes are in the family.

In her post, Frizzell wrote, "You might want to keep an eye on small pets at night and maybe keep cats indoors...momma has a lot of kits to feed!"
