Breed introduction: Mating a male silver fox with a female blue fox produces offspring that are silver frost foxes; they cannot be kept for breeding. Such fox pelts are valuable and priced slightly higher than locally produced blue fox pelts. The fur is thick and plush, the coat color is grayish-blue and glossy, the guard hairs are even, and the soles of the paws have dense hair, making it suitable for severe cold climate conditions. The lifespan is generally 8-10 years, and the usable period is 4-6 years. Sexual maturity occurs at 9-11 months of age. Estrus occurs from mid-February to early May each year, breeding only once a year, and the gestation period is 52 days. Herd average

Breed introduction: Mating a male silver fox with a female blue fox produces offspring that are silver frost foxes; they cannot be kept for breeding. Such fox pelts are valuable and priced slightly higher than locally produced blue fox pelts.

The fur is thick and plush, the coat color is grayish-blue and glossy, the guard hairs are even, and the soles of the paws have dense hair, making it suitable for severe cold climate conditions.

The lifespan is generally 8-10 years, and the usable period is 4-6 years. Sexual maturity occurs at 9-11 months of age. Estrus occurs from mid-February to early May each year, breeding only once a year, and the gestation period is 52 days.

The herd average litter size is 8-12 pups, with a maximum litter size of 24. Newborn fox pups weigh 60-90 grams, adult foxes have a live weight of 8-12 kg, and pelt length is 110-113 cm, with 80% of pelts falling between size 0 and size 00.

The annual survival rate reaches over 95%. They tolerate coarse feed, are easy to manage, have strong disease resistance, and have a high litter rate.

The silver frost fox's fur is thick and substantial, making it a rare premium-grade pelt.

Silver frost fox farming will have broad prospects for development.
