    Rabies is certainly something to keep in mind, especially with foxes (or other wild animals for that matter) that are that comfortable around people. It's a lot harder to recognize unusual behavior that might be a sign of rabies when the animal doesn't flee at the sight of a person.

    There are oral rabies vaccine baits for foxes. They're used in a lot of eastern and southern states to immunize foxes, raccoons and skunks. Don't think Colorado has an aerial vaccine bait program; closest looks to be Arizona, I think there being a problem with rabies and skunks in northern Arizona a while back?

    Don't know if the rabies vaccine baits are something you can get from a vet, though in some states the local Game & Fish agency will send someone around to distribute baits if there're a lot of foxes, skunks, etc in the neighborhood.
