In June of 2006 three orphan red fox were brought to GarLyn Zoo and with the DNR's permission we raised them. All three did great and were a nice addition for the summer. Then in early October the DNR released them back to the wild. Two of the fox lost their mother to a train near Manistique and the other lost its mother  to a vehicle on m-117 near Engadine.
All three were around 5 - 6 weeks old when we first got them.

Here is one of the red fox kits at about 8 weeks old

Here they are playing in the enclosure.

Below is a picture of one at the time of release back in the wild.
