The sentence is:

> あの 狐ねばばあに 餌付けでも されたか？

餌付け - is a potential form of the verb.

What role is でも playing here?

question
translation meaning potential-form particle-でも
Potential verb + でも: meaning?
でも is a particle which has several meanings. In this case it roughly means "～
or something like that", "... for example" or "maybe". See: [Function of "でも"
in "とでも言うべきであろうか"?](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/21156/5010) and
[confusing usage of でも](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/34029/5010)

餌付け【えづけ】 is a [**noun** derived from the masu stem of a
verb](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/a/32311/5010). It means "taming an
animal by means of feeding it", and it can work as a suru-verb. There is no
potential meaning in 餌付け on its own. It's usually not used with a human being,
but apparently it's used figuratively here.
