Here's why:
* Breeding Season: Foxes typically breed in late winter (February - March) and give birth in early spring (March - May).
* Gestation Period: The gestation period for foxes is around 50-60 days.
* Food Availability: Spring is a time of abundance for foxes, as they can find ample food for themselves and their young.
* Weather Conditions: Spring brings warmer weather and longer daylight hours, making it easier for the kits (fox pups) to survive.
While there are some exceptions depending on the fox species and location, the vast majority of foxes give birth during the spring months.
