Eventually (in most cases), there comes a time when a married couple will want to have children. When the time comes, the species of the mother will determine the number of children as well as the success rate.
Note: Since almost all males on Vulpes are foxes this is assuming that in all cases foxes were the father(s)

*: The risk for premature birth or birth defects is exceptionally low. only about 2 fox/human interactions (of about 1,000,000) have resulted in premature birth and none have resulted in birth defects. NOTE: this covers about a 500 year span
