Meet the fox kits Spring is here and four fox babies called kits are born to a red fox mother we shall call Dena They are born in a nursery den a big hole dug under the ground Foxes are animals called mammals Mammal mothers make milk in their bodies that they feed to their babies The kits depend on Dena to feed them milk and keep them warm She does not leave her babies for the first two weeks Other foxes in Dena's family bring her
After two weeks Dena leaves the den for a short time each day Her kits Sam Fred Bonnie and Kate are still too small to go out of the den They snuggle close to one another and wonder where their mother went They are getting hungry and hope she comes back
