@Xezatt they're semi domesticated, they are pretty good pets but they're extremely active and require a lot of attention and special care. They are also very, very, VERY noisy... -.-
@SladeForelly@KnittingPasta Fennec Foxes are native to the Sahara desert in North Africa. Here in Brazil the government has strict laws regarding the importation and maintenance of non-native animals. These laws exist to protect our native fauna since some exotic animals may carry parasites to which our wildlife is vulnerable. Some animals may even escape and cause an inbalance in the ecosystem. That's why it is very hard to have access to new exotic pets.
@Nanjenchan True! Thats makes sense! I saw something about this before in tv, something about parasites slugs coming into the ships to our sea and the problem about this... I dont know about the law but i understang, its sad but its the right thing...
My little beagle is the same way. If I just rub that one spot in his ears he goes all lip with this "Oh yeah..." type of act. Apparently it's a calming thing for little furry critters.
how cute he seem to like it very much.A friend had one too and gave him an room with caves n stuff to climb inside.they are pretty expensive about 1500 - 2000 usd if i remember right.
Hardest part is where to keep it. best way is if you have an extra room in your house...make it into a sand/play room for them and have two so they dont get lonely. But its not a requirement. unless you have a yard with very tall walls that cant be climbed or dug under the yard is out. keeping them in the house is okay...but they will tear up carpet and sometimes furniture if you get one thats a real digger... and if they get out on accident its bad news. So yeah..its hard, but possible.
A cage for when you cannot be with your fox is VARY preferable. They are small so a large cage, like a four story Ferret Cage, offers a great place to run around and sleep. Its a horrible idea to let them off around your home without supervision because not only will they find a way out, but they can get into things and get hurt.
If you havn't already, join groups on Yahoo, there are a bunch. Or talk to a breeder. Anyone telling you to let them run free all the time doesn't know what they are talking about so beware. I've talked to alot of people, and am researching them because i hope to buy one when i have the funds, and you need to give them a cage if you arn't with them.
And from what i've read/learned, they arn't that hard to take care of. Harder then a dog or cat but not anything horrible
They tend to be skittish, but can become very relaxed around humans they know. Around strangers they tend to become worried and tense but can warm up to them.
I have not seen one video on you tube that portrays a happy fennec fox. These creatures are wild animals and I sincerely hope that the videos are of animals that had to be kept in captivity not just because they would make cute pets. Otherwise these videos are truely heartbreaking.
Would you rather they be left in the wild where they're constantly hunted and preyed on? I guarantee this fox will live longer than ones out in the wild do. So from this moment forward, I'll be considering all such posts to be spam.
Not to mention you need a permit to have exotic animals, and Fennecs are just that - exotic animals. So evidently, these people know a thing or two about them, since you can't get a permit without knowledge about them.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You are absolutely right I am terribly uneducated how can a 35 year old with a double degree be so uneducated. In fact I have just realised that I am spreading PETA crap,,,,how could I have been so stupid,,thankyou for making me realise it,,,in fact I've always wanted a spider monkey because they are so cute,,,their adorable little faces,,,I'm going to find out how I can buy one tomorrow...
A double degree does not guarantee that someone is educated (Especially if it's in a ludicrous field such as cosmetology). Neither does age. I'm not saying I'm wise, but I'm not drawing ridiculous conclusions. I'm making an observation. No matter what sophisticated animal on the planet you refer to, it will not sleep with it's stomach exposed if it is afraid or unhappy. Now, if you have a degree in Zoology or Animal/Wildlife Behavior, then maybe I will reconsider my opinions.
as with the other replies. if this animal wasn't happy or afraid of its owner it wouldn't let the human get any where near it let alone touch it and sure as hell not let the human touch it while its sleeping. yes their wild animals but so were most domesticated animal at one point. all dogs were wild once. so by your rules all domesticated doges aren't happy and should be set free, i think not. while fennec domestication is in its infancy they do make fairly good house pets thus, domestication.
That's one of the interesting things about fennecs. They're one of the few canines (if not the only ones) to actually have fur over the pads of their hands/feet (Sahara sand is freakin' hot! OW!)
Until the very end, I wasn't sure if it was a live or not.
