We don't know whether something happened to Elli's mother or whether little Elli got lost in the forest. A forester from Flachgau found the little vixen completely on her own, brought her home and his children gave her a bottle of milk every two hours. A practical solution during the school vacations, but what was to happen to Elli afterwards? Seeking help, the family turned to Gut Aiderbichl and were happy when Elli was allowed to move into our fox enclosure at Gut Aiderbichl.
