Actually you could also HELP the animal go back to the wild. i don't hate pet owners, I don't like the insecure ones. Who says the fennec fox has to become a domestic animal. Cats were domesticated thousands of years ago, they can't live in the wild anymore. Yet THESE are wild animals that are becoming domesticated because of insecure people like you. The way you think as well is just insecure. Did the fox TELL YOU that it wanted to be living inside instead of the wild??
@Rodoriginal101 Also if someone rescued me and gave me food, it doesn't mean I want to always be fed by that person and that I want to be held captive. I would be thankful for the person to feed me so that I could get back on my feet. What you do is keep it as prisoner, but ofcoures the fox can talk to you and it said it was alright. You stil don't get it do you........ These animals are exotic! Exotic animals are not PETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
these animals shouldn't be living at home. It's not a house pet. I hate you people that think this is normal. They belong in the wild not in house dude!
@Rodoriginal101 And yet this is how all domestic pets start out, meaning you hate all pet owners. By keeping an animal in a home you're even providing it with a safe future, it would be like hating someone for rescuing you off the streets and giving you food, allowing you to survive for years to come.
How can anyone skin one of these beautiful creatures alive? I don't get humans! Maybe humans should get skinned alive and do a leather trade. Believe me, the earth would be purified
@inlight4evr i dont know if your from the USA but a long time ago indians used to have their scalps skinned (or did the skinng) to be made into charms, clothing, or to utter the 'death cry'....
@inlight4evr I'd say there are enough people in the world being maimed and tortured as it is, instead of increasing the amount of people who suffer, we should decrease the suffering caused by humans.
Fox are much less trouble than little breed dog, barking and bitting people all the time... They act much more like young middle sized dog, less possessive and paranoid. Easily trained to be very nice and can using litter box too.
sheesh they're twitchy little things aren't they? reminds me of a friend i have with ADHD..... hahaha. he never completely stops moving. but man is he cute! ...the fox i mean. not my friend. =P
wonder if my dog is part fennec. lol. he paces and digs and "nests" until the blankets are just so, and then he'll plop down and pass out. he's a chihuahua, so he sorta looks like a fennec bc of his ginormo ears. haha
like i said....a wild animal is a wild animal and does NOT become a domesticated animal just because it is born at home. I have a cat who has lived with us for almost 20 years. She is from Egypt, and has obviously been mixed with a wilder cat. Even though we have had her for 20 years she is still wilder than normal housecats. Racoons, fennec foxes, etc, are not meant to live in homes, but in the nature! If you don't understand then I am wasting my time with you.
that is the whole point. These foxes are not supposed to be raised at home! They are supposed to be raised in the wild...they are WILD animals to start off with, so what you are doing is against nature...and I HATE people like you!
Wild animals are happier in the wild trust me. Only the stupid people will think that they are doing these animals a favor when really they are not. I mean who are you..to decide what is best for these animals? People that own wild animals should be punished!
@xissburg Also try raising a tiger who was raised at home...do you really think that the tiger would become as friendly and as domesticated as a cat?? No a wild animal is a wild animal by nature...and a domesticated animal is not a wild animal because it took thousands of years to make them domesticated.
@Rodoriginal101 it depends on the animal, dude. Those big cats have a natural killer instinct. Animals like foxes and raccoons don't...and they are awesome, specially raccoons. I love raccoons :D
@xissburg So for a fennec fox to be domesticated and for it to NOT be a wild animal it needs to be with people for a VERY VERY long time...talking about thousands of years for you to be able to call it NOT WILD. But idiots like you will never understand that.
@EnjoyLife331 just check kijiji or ebay, if not you could check exotic dealers...maybe even yellow pages for adresses that could sell foxes. thats how my friend got his.
The biggest threats to the fennec fox come from : eagles as well as all large predatory birds, fox, coyote like dogs, all stinging insects and so on..............
Nature is one hell of a bitch to these small animals.
Actually foxes, wolves and dogs all turn around in circles because when they were once wild, and they slept outside, they would spin around to figure out which way the wind is blowing so they could put their back to the wind and be warm.
That is one disoriented looking fox. But then again my cat always seems out of it for a few hours after I've given her a bath.
As for foxes as pets there's nothing wrong with keeping them as a pet so long as the owner does so responsibly. Foxes aren't dogs, so you can't treat a fox like one. As for the foxes being happier in the wild...no, they wouldn't be. They're hunted for their fur and by other predators. A domesticated fox has a lot less to worry about.
Oh my gawd! Lie down already!!! ~laughs~ Foxy is like...what is this by my head? Oh...a foot...holding it down and using it as a face scratcher...oh yeah! Too cute!
I'm sorry, but I have to interject. With the current state of humanity, with all the roads being built, homes, town, the increase in population, wouldn't you rather have them become domesticated and be able to survive than be killed on some motorway? It's our own damn faults we have killed their habitats. So you ask why we are domesticating these precious creatures? To save them from being extinct. Also, I wouldn't go so far to call Foxes exotic either. A panda is exotic. Not a fox.
The biggest threat to fennec foxes in the wild is the fur trade. If you own a domesticated fennec, they can live a happy life with you instead of being skinned alive.
I prefer a live, happy, tame fennec to a dead, wild fennec.
If it lives in the wild then you'd have to kill it before you skin it. Before you say anything else on the subject let me point out that I do know many trappers and they do not skin a single animal alive when they do sell furs. It is not only illegal but they just prefer to have the animal feel no pain from it.
@indoorin Apologies, perhaps that was incorrect of me. "Skinned alive" perhaps isn't the proper term.
The point being that a domesticated fennec never faces being killed for it's fur.
As for "anything else on the topic"... don't mean for this to sound aggressive and I don't mean to bash you, but I posted that comment 7 months ago, the only reason people are replying to it is because people thumbed it up lots. All I'm doing is replying to people that reply to it.
@FrazzleAndTheWolf It's not going away anytime soon. Besides, the fur trade is just one problem that leads to wild life expectancy (and quality) being much lower than that of captivity.
ha... i'm allowed to comment... especially when someone like you posts a comment like that... wtf is wrong with you... have a bad childhood with a single mom that you felt attracted to as well? ur a fucking weirdo... wanting to kill a sweet animal like that with fire... jerk-off
yes true some animals are not suitable for pets, domesticated or not, take the staffordshire bull terrior for example, some people think they're not ideal for pets due to their aggressive behaviour, yet they are domesticated and can make perfect pets. this fox doesn't seem aggressive or unhappy. each animal has it's own personality, any animal can be domesticated just like any animal can be wild, it's down to the animal it self, not the breed.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Thats bogus. You're telling me you could domestic a hyena? BS. Breeding involves picking the most social and agreeable temperament animals generation after generation. I know there are some "wild" breeds that do better than others and wondered if this was one of em, but to say that any animal can be domesticated as a pet is crap. Even if the animal doesnt attack you, it can be unsuitable to be kept in a home and destroy furniture and be untrainable for one.
it's not 'bogus' you can domesticate any animal over time, do you seriously think that cats, dogs, horses and all other pets were just domesticated over night? it takes time. it can be unsuitable yes, but like i say that's down to the animal as an individual, not the breed. this fox seems perfectly happy, yet there could be a fox else where that isn't, that could be for a number of reasons, one being that particular fox isn't suitable, but the fox in the video is. He's not in pain or suffering.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
True, with MANY generations of selective breeding in captivity. But then why bother? You already have some forms of "wild" domesticated animals. Like dogs. Unfortunately there are far more unhappy captive bred and owned exotics than there are happy ones due to irresponsble ownership, breeding and lack of education. It's bad enough we have millions of unwanted dogs, cats and other domestic type exotics, and they are generally quite easy to own!
i understand all your points, but the discussion was whether or not they can be domesticated, not their living conditions. But you are right, few people are prepared to take on such animals, but i think if the animal is happy, for example the fox, then no harm has been done.
Amen to that. It takes a great deal experience and understanding to keep an exotic or wild animal in a domestic setting. Even selectively bred, well socialized animals will still display intense instincts and behaviors that most people living in a house are not prepared to deal with. Containment is another issue with many exotic type animals.
Why keep adding even more animals that are even more difficult to keep. Happy or not, they were not meant to be captive pets. There are truly too far and few people out there that are capable of providing the proper containment, care and enrichment for most of these wild exotics.
Wolves and Wolfdogs are the perfect example. I foster and rescue, and own 2 myself. I LOVE my boys but they should have never been. They were lucky but so many more are not, because of selfish peoples desires.
IF THEY LOVED IT and let it be wild, it would die within the week. You think that letting it go would make the animal happier, but it's not suited to living in the wild anymore. It can't find it's own food, or homes, or know predators. Plus, they're okay with humans. They would be killed or just be picked up again by another group of people, who might not treat it as well.
lol, but seriusly those they need some that big ears xD i thin they would still have a good ''Hearing'' even if the ears was 1/2 of that size. but it make them more cute
so cute! i want one. how did you get it? did you buy it or did you find it. and do you need a permit? i think so. not smart here *points to meh* -w- lol
poor guy trying to dig as if it is earth. i am SO depressed to learn that people are TAKING these as pets. uggh. they are so private and wild. leave them be.
it's called an opinion, dumbass. i am guessing that you are american, you have no emotional intelligence, and you have a limited vocabulary. by the way, the foxes are super cute! adorable!

True, with MANY generations of selective breeding in captivity. But then why bother? You already have some forms of "wild" domesticated animals. Like dogs. Unfortunately there are far more unhappy captive bred and owned exotics than there are happy ones due to irresponsble ownership, breeding and lack of education. It's bad enough we have millions of unwanted dogs, cats and other domestic type exotics, and they are generally quite easy to own!

i understand all your points, but the discussion was whether or not they can be domesticated, not their living conditions. But you are right, few people are prepared to take on such animals, but i think if the animal is happy, for example the fox, then no harm has been done.
BOO66669 2 years ago 2
Amen to that. It takes a great deal experience and understanding to keep an exotic or wild animal in a domestic setting. Even selectively bred, well socialized animals will still display intense instincts and behaviors that most people living in a house are not prepared to deal with. Containment is another issue with many exotic type animals.

Why keep adding even more animals that are even more difficult to keep. Happy or not, they were not meant to be captive pets. There are truly too far and few people out there that are capable of providing the proper containment, care and enrichment for most of these wild exotics.

Wolves and Wolfdogs are the perfect example. I foster and rescue, and own 2 myself. I LOVE my boys but they should have never been. They were lucky but so many more are not, because of selfish peoples desires.

IF THEY LOVED IT and let it be wild, it would die within the week. You think that letting it go would make the animal happier, but it's not suited to living in the wild anymore. It can't find it's own food, or homes, or know predators. Plus, they're okay with humans. They would be killed or just be picked up again by another group of people, who might not treat it as well.

They are not only for hearing. In the desert where they normaly live the big ears also reduces the body heat.

The big ears are to make the predators think they are too cute to harm
Mwahohoho 2 years ago 10
no its not at all 0.0
Its so that the fennec can hear insects and small lizards etc (their food) in the dessert at night

the Vulpes (fox) genus is much less related to the canine, let along Canine domesticus, then the feline or the common house cat.

Foxes are maybe a good thought then, they're more like a cat than a conventional domestic dog is.

How did you get a fennec fox?? Are they legal in the USA?
luvcatsanddragons 2 years ago
Yes, it's legal, but you need a license, and they're hard to come by. Also, they're quite expensive.

Look it up on wikipedia. They're legal in some states.
