A Red Foxes litter can have as high as 10 pups and as low as 1 pup. When the pups are old enough to eat meat, the mother will throw up food into their mouths. Soon enough the mother will start bringing live prey to her pups so they can learn how to hunt. Finally they will be old enough to go a hunt with their parents.

Small Species Study Red fox Number of pups/ baby pups colors
In the winter red foxes meet other foxes to mate. The female of the couple usually gives birth to 2-12 pups. when born red foxes actually have a brown coat of fur or a gray coat of fur. Some red foxes are really weird colors for them like golden, reddish- brown, silver, or sometimes even black. So not all red foxes are red. Since the parents have their pup in the winter they take care of it until the fall.
