Pregnancy-Grey foxes give birth in a variety of places. 1-10 cubs (normally about 4) are born usually during mid-March and mid-June. Cubs- Dispersal occurs between January and February. The cubs start to hunt at about 4 months. They stay within parent's home range longer than other foxes. Adulthood-adult foxes find a vixen to mate with and have cubs. The adult grey fox's vegetarian based part of their diet consists of nuts, grass, grains and fruit. Their meat based part of their diet consists of small mammals.
In the wild they will live only 5--6 years. In captivity they may live 14 years or more.

The gray fox preys on the eastern cottontail in the eastern U.S., though it will readily catch voles, shrews, and birds. In California, the gray fox primarily eats rodents, followed by jackrabbit, brush rabbit, etc. In some parts of the Western United States (such as in the Zion National Park in Utah), the gray fox is primarily insectivorous and herbivorous. Fruit is an important component of the diet of the gray fox and they seek whatever fruits are readily available, generally eating more vegetable matter than does the red fox.
