RED FOX

For the first few weeks of life, baby red foxes remain in the den with only their mother. Afterwards, both parents and other females in a family group will help care for the cubs and feed them until they are weaned at about two months. Male cubs will leave their parents within about six months of birth but females may stay longer.
