How many babies do red fox reproduce in one cycle?

Red foxes typically give birth to a litter of 4 to 6 kits in one breeding cycle, although litters can range from 1 to 12 kits depending on environmental conditions and food availability. The breeding season usually occurs in late winter to early spring, and the kits are born after a gestation period of about 52 days. The parents care for the young until they are ready to venture out on their own, usually around 12 weeks of age.
