TopHow long do foxes live?
In the wild, not long: mortality rates generally vary between 50% and 70% per annum. At 50% per annum, only a quarter of foxes live to be two years old, 12% to three years, 6% to four years, and very few make it beyond six years. Exceptionally, a wild fox may survive for ten years but by then it will be very arthritic and lost most of its teeth, so that only a few yellowed stumps remain. In captivity, foxes may live up to fourteen years.
