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.
