They left the kits for several hours hoping mom would come back (for which we're so thankful) but when nightfall came they scooped up the kits and brought them inside, knowing temps were forecasted to be in the 20s overnight. (again, they handled the situation just perfectly)

They warmed up the kits and cared for them until they learned about us, then drove them all the way to our center.

We're happy to say all three kits are doing well. The two larger male kits are eating solid foods, this smaller female kit is still receiving formula supplement, which she's enjoying in this video.

Many thanks to the clients for their compassion and thoughtful approach to rescuing these kits.

The other Red Fox kit from Rochester (the one with the fractured rear legs) is slowly healing. We're still very concerned about the fractures healing well. The more complicated pinned femur bone actually appear to be knitting better than the tibia - not what we were expecting but in wildlife medicine it's hard to predict these things. We removed the pins and will know more in the next week or so as the bones and muscles continue to heal. Today we moved this kit into the room with the three new fox kits (they're in separate housing).
