Description

A very special Red fox nicknamed "Ticky";
"As small as you were, you already had this huge tick in the corner of your eye, these first days. I felt for you. Fortunately I had no tick in my eye, but that must have been one of my rare tick-less spots. To capture you, I had to remove 40 (!) ticks that summer, but you was worth every single bite of them! And it provided you the somewhat irreverent name Tickeye, later on affectionately abbreviated as Ticky.

Although you remained smaller than the rest of the litter, you did grow up to be an energetic and enthusiastic fox kit. You were doing fine! Even when, one bad day, your mother fox arrived severely injured at the den. Her back was crooked and she could hardly walk.
She had never been the greatest huntress and the situation was even worse now. Fortunately, she kept on suckling you, although not always so warmly.
But you, the runt of the litter, you made it!"
