Sleepy Fennec Fox (Keyah)

[Shorty20122012]

That's a bad ass looking fox. You should really put some more info in the video though. Age/how long you've had him/where you got him ect.

lol sumone playing super mario bros

[facelessaphrodisiac]

So pretty, you have done a great job giving her all the love she needs! ^^ You can tell she's very happy and content. I'm hoping in a few years I can myself a fennec too. I've been doing research and I've been told they need another fennec to keep them happy. I've also been told they do just as well with other pets, what's your thoughts on this?

[Paulzilla]

@facelessaphrodisiac They are all different. our fennec only likes my wife and I. She hates kids and other animals. Don't know why. I've seen other fennecs that are just fine with other animals as long as they are already there when the fennec is young. I would recommend having two to keep each other company if you will be gone a lot.

[MegaGayforlife]

SUPER MARIO MUSIC !!!!!!

THE EPICNESS

[greatscott1984]

That is so cute! Are fennec foxes good pets? Are they difficult to care for? I think I would like to get one, but I only know basic facts about them. How old is Keyah?

By the way, props for having Mario 3 in the background! One of my favourites!

[Paulzilla]

@greatscott1984 She'll be 7 in June. They are not as easy to care for as a cat or dog.

[joeywomer]

I'm guessing you found her outside your house or something.

[Paulzilla]

No. I bought her from a breeder.

[joeywomer]

Nice. I didn't know they could be tamed.

[htfamily]

LOL! Every time You pet her she gets Coins and 1Ups

[Bod0mChild666]

aha, so awesome, i want one :P

Whats with the Super Mario? xD

[Paulzilla]

You can download it on the Wii.

[koolguy161616]

if im not mistaken that the third mario right

[Paulzilla]

Correct.

[Novetrix]

Are fennec foxes rare? I mean, to get as pets?

[Paulzilla]

Relatively rare but becoming more popular.

[24134]

sweet u gt a fox a ur playin super mario u know how to live

[Justinswaytotube]

great video. Your fox is soooo cute. DOES ANYONE KNOW A FENNEC FOX BREEDER IN WESTERN NEW YORK!?!?!?!

[michellemayhem19]

Aww that was cute. cool tattoo btw. Also, i know that foxes are completely different than dogs but does keyah listen to you? like would she come to you if you said "come here"? or something like that?

[Paulzilla]

She does respond to us calling her. If she wants to be left alone she will just ignore us. :)

[chrisdmcatee]

i hear mario o.O

[1959Edsel]

Fennecs are so cute. I don't think I could care for one myself, so having videos is the next best thing.

[thatfatboiforu]

Ah they are so cute. Plus kick ass that you had Mario bros 3 on in the background

[Newbpwng]

didnt think someone still plays super mario

[SilveniumTheDrifter]

The fox's fur looks so soft... Is it?

[Paulzilla]

Very soft. It's like rabbit fur.

[pyrositytube]

in comparison to a chinchilla ? i would like one but I have 2 chinchillas a 3 flying squirrels. Would you think this fox would attempt to attack them ?

[Paulzilla]

A fox would probably see them as food.

[KaylatheBat]

:D Shes so CUTE!!!! But, I thought they were wild desert animals?

[Paulzilla]

They are but she was born in captivity.

[Jetman123]

They're highly social animals and the best adapted fox to keep as a pet. They're kept mainly for their high social interaction - they make very loving pets. They aren't easy to win the trust of, but when a fox trusts you, you have something special.

[Victim55]

I never want fennecs to change there just so beatiful

[KyleThylacine]

Is that Super Mario Bros 3 in the background?

[Nolascana]

aww poor thing shes trying to sleep haha

Shes still cute hehe

[Retrieverman1]

What I think is interesting is that there is an experiment where some Russian scientists (actually Soviet ones) selected for tameness in silver foxes, which are a color of red fox. After 20 generations or so, they started getting spots, floppy ears, and curled tails. And it's been determined that all dog species will develop these traits if bred for tameness. So in just a few years, we could have Fennecs with basset hound ears!

[Paulzilla]

I know very well what experimaent you're talking about but the results aren't as dramatic as you think. The physical differences were very minor. The significant part was the behavioral differences. They became much more tame and craved more human interaction.

[mitsman89]

nice pet:D isnt that music in the background loud for her? with the big ears and such xD

[Paulzilla]

The music sounds loud because we have wood floors. If it bothered her she would try to leave the room.

[Nestly52]

Nestly: Wow someone was playing Mario Brothers really loud. xD Haha. Very cute Fennec. I love how you're messin' with her and she's just all "I'm trying to sleep here". Fuzzy little girl.

[lordplatano]

Awe. Its adorable/pretty. :] Has Keyah ever bitten you? lol Im curiouse.

Is it like a cat biting you or would it hurt like a dog bite?

[Paulzilla]

She has bitten me a few times. Her teeth are incredibly sharp and she bites very quickly. It does hurt but it's more startling than anything.

[MeWnYou]

Aw she's a beautiful lil fennec is she always so quite :) ? all the other i have seen have been very very hyper all the time :) she's also very tame :O letting you poke her and stuff ^^ your very lucky heh I'm jealous

[PieRaGa]

such a cute lil animal, i want one but ATM i don't have the funds to buy or support one, not to mention my house isn't a very good environment for them ATM. when i get my own place im gona make a room just for them, like a desert setting, kinda like the one in the vids on youtube. im goign get like 3, getting one is kinda cruel to me because it wont have any of its own kind to socialize with. and lol epic, old school mario XD.

[saiae]

Hmm. Sounds like world 2.

How old is she? She seems like a quieter type.

So cute. :)

[Paulzilla]

She's about 6 now.

[Malirra4290]

lol u adore ur fox XD i was laughing at all the mario sound effects in the background XD obviously ur fox is loved very much in its home :D

[katieluvzhorses101]

so cute X)

[funnysmileylol]

it so cute!

[jessy61071]

CANT YOU TELL IT HATES SLEEPING? THATS WHY ITS MAKING MARIO NOISES ALL THE TIME.

seriously, the comments about this pet being mistreated is stupid. At first I figured it didn't like the petting in the video of it "laughing" but, obviously when you scratch its but/back it loves it.

I hope some people grow up and get a life and dont spend all day commenting on videos negatively because they "love" animals so much.

[Jetman123]

I laughed so hard at that first line. :D

As for the rest of your comment? Amen.

[Paulzilla]

Yes.

[BethanStein]

Is that a tattoo on your hand? Your Fennec makes my heart melt!

[katieXDretard]

Hey Paulzilla thnx 4 subscribing. Your fennec is awesome.

[megs1983leia]

[EbonJackal]

She's so cute when she's placid like that... ^_^ You must take very good care of her if she's that calm around you.

[matthewmetras]

[matthewmetras]

[proffesorcat]

[Paulzilla]

LOL. Good guess! Yes, it is. I downloaded on our wii for my wife. She used to play it a lot when it first came out. I always sucked at it but she knows all the hidden crap, etc.

[BobForehead]

Damn! She gets cuter every vid. Straight up too cute. Must wake mah kitteh up nows.

[Paulzilla]

Thanks. Love your vids and playlists!

[BobForehead]

Gratsi! Glad to be of service. I was putting yer foxies in the Functional Instructional, but it's full now...guess i need to make a Cute Overload playlist.

Work for a library when young, currate for life...

[MGSDORITO]

adorable hahaha are they allowed in California? i would like to get a Fennec Fox i have been wanting to for a while now

[Paulzilla]

From what I understand you have to be a licensed breeder or rescue to have them in California. No private ownership is allowed. I don't think you can even own a ferret there.
