March 13, 2009 - our very first litter of baby silver foxes arrived!
We were thrilled!
Eight babies were born to:
Dam: Abby's Lilo - 12 lbs.
Sire: Bridget's Bunnies Norm - 9 lbs.
Baby Black Silver Fox
5 days old
Our doe, Lelo, kindled eight healthy kits in March. She was an excellent mother and all eight kits thrived! Silver Fox does are known for being great mothers and produce plenty of milk. This was definitely our experience.

One month old
In order to keep track of who was who in the nestbox we used a permanent marker in their ears. We had six bucks and two does.
