Some agricultural areas may support these foxes. Little data available. No data found. Pups weaned at about 4-5 mo. Kit foxes use dens throughout the year.
Potential predators are coyotes, large hawks and owls, eagles, and bobcats.
Cultivation has eliminated much habitat. Kit foxes are vulnerable to many human activities, such as hunting, use of rodenticides and other poisons, off-road vehicles, and trapping. Egoscue, H. J. 1956. Preliminary studies of the kit fox in Utah. Egoscue, H. J. 1962.
