x3. Reproduction .3x
xx. Rules .xx
I. Mating threads are allowed, but please try to keep it fairly clean. If you'd like to go into further detail than 'They Mated', you must put '[MATURE]' in the title of the thread to warn all.
II. Your fox does not have to pick a life partner to mate and reproduce. Males can abandon the female after mating with consent, and of course, rape.
III. Sexual Maturity is reached at about ten months to a year in real life and usually foxes reproduce in their second year. If you wish to have your fox reproduce once sexual maturity is reached, that is fine.
IV. Foxes can mate even if they are not in a pack and have pups. If they are in a pack, usually they need to ask for the alpha's permission, but if they do not, a punishment may be sought by the alpha.
V. Foxes do not have to build dens if they are having kits/pups. They do need to find somewhere safe though. If they are in a pack, the expecting mother will usually not leave the pack's dens to ensure a safe delivery. When in a pack, the whole pack usually tries to help the mother and father, even if they are not the alphas.
VI. Litter counts can be found below for each breed.
VII. It takes a month [our time] for the foxes to have their pups/kits.
IIX. Once a mating occurs, the mother needs to fill out a form here to see whether or not her character is pregnant. The due date will be determined by the admin there.
IX. When kits are born, the post of the birth does not have to be realistic. If you do wish to go into detail, please put '[BIRTHING]' in the title of the thread.
X. Not all kits will survive. If one dies during birth, or shortly after, it will be listed in the response to the form after the mating.
XI. The kits do not need to have their own accounts for three weeks. Once that deadline has passed, accounts need to be made for them.
XII. The parents may, if they wish, allow other foxes to apply to roleplay them for an 'extra character slot'. However, if the admin feels as though an applicatant does not deserve/need another character, they will message the parent(s) saying so.
XIII. Your own characters can not mate with each other.
XIV. Same sex couples are allowed. If they want to have pups, they need to find a foster parent of the opposite gender or adopt.
