Red fox tend to be solitary animals, and always hunt alone.
The fox may be active day and night but appears to hunt most during twilight and evening. It is an opportunist that eats rats and mice, rabbits, ground squirrels, birds, snakes, fish, insects, berries nuts, and seeds. A fox will often hide uneaten food under litter or bury it in a hole to be eaten later. Red fox mate about mid-winter and the female bears from four to ten pups in early spring. They often den up in woodchuck or badger holes.
