you could make a fox your pet?

A fox is pretty much a wild dog. The same as a coyote or a wolf, except a little bit more tamer. That does not mean it should be taken lightly. It is still a wild animal. Always take precaution. It was how wolves were domesticated. The problem is they are not cute animals. These are creatures who have to survive by any means necessary. They will bite and claw if they fill threatened, no matter how nice they look. It does not mean they are bad it is just mother nature at her purest.

I never think of a wild animal as being cute or not. I imagine myself taken from my home and made to live in another environment. That´s what happens to animals that are not domestic and are made into pets. I´m sure they like the wild much better, even if there´s less food and they have to fight for their live and freedom.

Yes they are cute to look at and seems docile but I don't think I want to have a pet that belongs in the wild. I'd rather let him live his life free in the wilds where he belongs and I'll just take care of my dogs at home.

You can probably have a pet fox if you get it very young, but it is generally forbidden, because foxes are potential carriers of several diseases, including rabies. Fennec foxes are authorized here, and I knew a couple who had a fennec : it destroyed their couch : foxes have good teeth and claws. These animals are wild animals and my opinion is that their place is in the nature and not in a house.

It might have been raised by people since it was a baby or so, perhaps even rescued from somewhere. I have seen such videos on youtube and once I saw one of a duo of foxes or so jumping on a trampoline, which was quite entertaining.

Hello lady1993 I doubt that I would make a fox my pet for a couple of reasons. One, they are carriers of the rabies. In most places where I've lived, it is illegal to have a fox as the pet precisely because of this. The other reason I wouldn't make the fox the pet is because they are wild animules, and I wouldn't want to remove that freedom from them. Now, I might make the fox my friend, so that the fox could visit me regularly, and return to its den daily. I had a friend who did this, but then the man from the State came and captured the fox and took it away. My friend was very the sad.

Years ago one of my friends had a fox as a pet in the house. She named it Foxy (Original name I know lol) But the fox was very tame and took on the characteristics that it picked up from her 2 dogs... He would eat out of their food bowls, curl up next to you on the couch and even run and play with the dog toys outside. It was so soft and friendly. Unfortunately he got hit by a car crossing the road one day after they had him for over a year... It was crazy to see how friendly and dog like the fox was

Like all wild animals, THEY DON'T MAKE GOOD PETS. While young and dependent they seem to fit in but at maturity the problems arrise. First on my list would be they smell terrible, while not as strong as sknuks they are musk animals. Of course you must nuter them, but under the right stress they may resort to wild behavior. How could you ever trust them around children? Best to just enjoy them in the wild and if not available try a zoo.

I am not really sure if they can be tamed and become a pet.. But people have had scarier and more dangerous pets than a small fox.. Some even have tigers and huge snakes. So i think a fox is alright.

Well, I think you could possibly tame wild animals when you got them first when they are young, with this, you can introduce them to new environment and they will adopt it same with our domistacated animals like dogs and cats.
