Here are three easy ways to say that idea so an 8-year-old can understand:

  1. Foxes sleep and hide in holes made by other animals.
  2. Sometimes foxes move into burrows that other animals dug so they can rest and stay safe.
  3. Foxes often use other creatures’ tunnels to hide away and take naps.

What this means (step by step):

  1. Burrows are holes or tunnels that animals like rabbits or badgers dig in the ground.
  2. Foxes sometimes find these empty burrows and go inside.
  3. Inside the burrow the fox can hide from danger and rest or sleep where it is warm and safe.

Example: Imagine a fox finding a rabbit hole and curling up inside to take a nap. That is the same idea as the original sentence.
