Rufus, the hand reared pet fox of Mrs Lesley Herbert, of Quorn, has gone missing without trace. The fox disappeared from its kennel in the garden of 7 White Street, Quorn, between 9pm and a quarter to 10 last Thursday.
Mrs Herbert who also has three dogs and three ducks, reared Rufus from a five-week old cub and is worried that someone may have stolen him or that he has been trapped and killed.
