From monitoring the trail cam I know that there are at least three cubs and that they are usually accompanied by the vixen but that the male also brings them out to play. As inquisitive youngsters, they also venture out on their own. I&#39;ll track back through video over the next few days to get an estimate of their birth date, but I would guess that they are no more than 6 or 7 weeks old.<\/p>\n<p>This is the very first shot. It was misty last night which has impacted on the quality of the shot.<br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/fox_cub_2504131005.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>This one, also from the early hours of Thursday shows off the distinctive blue eyes of young foxes.
