I think any fresh fox urine works well as an attractor. I believe urine mixed from many foxes works just as well as from a single fox. That's why I mix my urine; all bladder-collected urine goes into a single container.
You'd have to have dozens of small containers to keep it separate and I don't see any advantage.
Eh...wot?

I had a female that was probably twice that full this morning. that's the first one like that had more than a few drops in a long time. Maybe your luck is contagious?
Three of the four males had bladders more than half full.I have around a pint from twenty-two fox so far.
Eh...wot?

If you're getting that amount of pee from females, I wouldn't change a thing either. It does look kinda dark.
Had a "pee incident" in the shed this weekend. I had just skinned the last fox, a big male. I made the incision a bit too deep and, unbeknownst to me, had cut into the top of the very full bladder. I found out when I spread the incision to check the bladder and pee came squirting out. In my haste to save it I grabbed the bottle and funnel and managed to drop it. Luckily, it landed upright and didn't spill (much). I saved about half the bladder contents.
My granddaughter, who had be sitting nearby flipping a fox was happy she didn't get any on her. She chided me for wasting all that "liquid gold!"
Eh...wot?

Here is one I had today. Small male, he peed at the set. Carried by front leg and hung up for a couple hours until I could skin him. I believe it is blood in the urine.

You guys are getting some dark urine. I'm glad this thread came back up, reminded me that I took a pic of a pretty full bladder from this morning and wanted to post it here: Carried by the back legs (by my granddaughter) from the trap to the truck then from the truck to the fur shed.
Eh...wot?
