If you would like take a look at my site. I have pictures >up of my litters. Thank you to those who responded! Yes the pix did help. My pups look like yours did at day 11. So they really ARE either Arg. cream or red fox? How exciting! :) Red fox also has pink eyes, correct? Ok, other than the silver/gray undercoat you mention, how else could i tell the difference between the pups being cream or fox? I am also still not sure if the parents are lilac or dove. They sure look dove by the pix available. They DO NOT match the pic of your lilac. > >Pet stores are not always good at keeping pairs together. You did not >mention the father. Did you buy her mate? Yes i bought the whole family. That is why i said the pups left when i got them were all the color of what i assumed were the parents. As Doug pointed out, there could have been a cream/golden father sold previously tho. At least one cream pup was observed prior to purchase. There is an adult female (the one who had the pups) and an adult male her same size and color. Looked like she had had litters quite close together. The two youngest sets of pups were not more than 3-4 wks apart and the single older sibling was maybe 4-6 wks in age from the others. > I would be very happy if these are indeed red foxes! > > ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
