Didn't make me smile but the thought that what the fox was doing wasn't due to the trampoline did make me smile. That's the kind of leaping that they do in snow to scare small rodents into scurrying away so they know where food is. The fox hears the movement & knows where to dig in the snow. Otherwise the rodent stays quiet & hidden under the snow. These seem like young foxes and it is probably practice.
