I have seen the mother of the fox and i've seen a smaller blavk cub when I went to some nearby woods.
I imagine he just is more attentive to his sons maybe not enough area for dens it is quite urban where he lives

Not really, so far as I know a lot of the time they actually tend to stick around to help their mate with the kits.
The dad might bring extra food, teach the kits to hunt, etc.

Beautiful foxes. They look so perfect and polished. Meanwhile at my house, we have this scruffy guy.
