Red Fox

The Red Fox is a basic game animal.

Diet
Foxes are omnivores, and can eat from most food sources, including but not limited to: Directly from Large Grass tiles (but not the straw it produces as a fruit,) Desert Fruit, Seeds, and insects on the ground, but gain the most from meat, rotten or fresh. Like all animals, the foxes must periodically lick minerals, but in addition have to replenish their calcium by eating bones from medium or large carcasses.

They are capable of regurgitating food, useful for feeding pups. In the early stages of their life, they must drink milk from their mother, which she produces directly from her energy stores.

Nests
Foxes mate in late winter. They prefer to nest in Large Holes, which they can dig on applicable tiles, but can access and build nests in logs and caves as well. Their nest requires 13 straw and 2 leaves to be built to 100%.

Fox pups are born in early spring and take approximately one season to leave the den.
