Baby season in full swing: foxes

We don’t take foxes unless we are absolutely sure they are orphaned. About 3 out of 4 times, upon investigation, the animals should be left alone. Please call us if you are worried about any young foxes. We will help you navigate the situation keeping the animal’s best interest at heart.

Foxes wean in about 6-8 weeks. Both mom and dad take care of the young. If one mate dies, the other can pick up the slack.
