Grandma Ziva from the Pine Ridge Severson Homestead is getting her checkup. She is almost 13!

“Grandma went in for her wellness, vaccines, bloodwork, xrays, nails, brushing, ears checked and tumors checked. Everything came back great and she's very healthy. After talking with other sanctuaries and our vet we will be leaving her tumors alone. Thank you for all the good vibes for our Grandma Ziva. She's at home resting now. Crazy that she will be 13”

That's great news! How long do foxes usually live for? I assume 13 is a pretty decent run

They can live 10-15 years in captivity, but usually only 2-4 in the wild because it’s hard out there.
