How long do GREY foxes stay with their mother?

Pups leave their mother in the fall when they are about 10 months old. Males and females are typically monogamous, mating for life. The gray fox’s lifespan ranges from six to eight years in the wild; however, these foxes have been reported to live up to 12 years in captivity.

Do fox families stay together?

Foxes live in social groups – three or four adults are quite common (though 10 were recorded in one Bristol group). These consist of equal numbers of dogs and vixens. Generally, only one vixen breeds, but occasionally up to three do. Cubs can be reared separately, but may also be pooled together in one large litter.
