The wolf gestation period is about 63 days, and litters usually contain 4 to 6 pups, though they can have as many as 10. Like domestic dogs, wolf pups are born unable to see and hear. Their eyes open at about 2 weeks, at which time they begin to walk. At 3 weeks, they are able to hear. They spend a month cloistered in the den with their mother, after which they will begin leaving the den for short periods of time. In another 2 to 3 weeks, they will be eating mostly meat, which adult wolves regurgitate for them. The pups will be fully weaned at 10 weeks. They will stay in their birth pack until they reach sexual maturity at 2 to 3 years of age.
Though wolves live in packs, only the alpha male and alpha female mate and produce pups. The other wolves in a pack, often young adult offspring of the breeding pair, do not mate until they leave their birth pack and find their own territory.

Ah, baby wolves, what magnificent creatures they are. Typically, baby wolves leave their mother and start exploring on their own when they are around 6 to 8 months old. It's a natural part of their growth and development, just like how we all grow and learn in our own time. Remember, each wolf pup is unique and special in its own way, just like each brushstroke on a canvas creates a beautiful masterpiece.
yes and no because they might stay with there pack and learn to hunt but someday they might leave there pack and start their own or just stay where they are in their pack.
