Breeding: Their mating period stretches from Jan to Feb, but the vixens only stay for some days in the estrus. Pups are born after a gestation period of fifty to fifty-three days. Fennec Foxe's pups suckle for more time than others, and separation from their mother doesn’t occur before almost three months. For up to 70 days, young people will be licked, held, and carefully observed. At six to nine months of their age, reproductive development comes with the accomplishment of adult height.
