No need to make personal attacks. Cecotrophy is a common phenomenon in certain animals. I don't know specifically about foxes but it wouldn't be a stretch if it was common behavior for them. Do you have any sources that suggest otherwise?

Herbivores taking more time to digest greenery is really not related to eating the poo of another animal due to nutritional deficiency. It's a silly comparison.
