@XxMariahPANICxX i agree with you. it's the same with groundhogs. i actually got to tame a wild one at a place i was staying at just by singing to it using country, blue grass, godzilla vs mothra type songs, and anime songs. and believe it or not, eventually i could go up to the hole, sit down, and have it come up to me. it really seemed to enjoy it. i named her morning glory.
@shichan Foxes are actually related closer to Dogs than cats. That being said because foxes and wolves are closely related and domestic dogs are related to wolves. While foxes are not directly related to domestic dogs, they are directly related to wolves. Therefore they are in fact Canidae. Vulpes Canidae to be exact. But they are not Canines with is the Canini family. That is wolves and dogs
Foxes are canines. Homo-sapiens and canines have a LONG, LONG history of living and working together. Recently, a 16 thousand year old grave was found containing a human and a fox.
Vulpes is a genus of canidae, therefore foxes are in fact canines (you can't have an animal that's 'not completely' in whatever family it's in. It either is or it isn't.)
@bluenudibranch kinda like how you can't be "kinda pregnant?" and excuse my not-knowing-ness. i didn't pay much attention at the boston museum of science. i've always considered a fox a little bit too......feline-ish? to be completely dog-ish....if you get my drift? it's hard to explain. they're like the perfect combo if dog activeness and cat....er....whatever it is cats do.
What most people who want this Fennec to be released into the wild don't realise is that Fennecs do not sounds like dogs or cats when they are happy. They squeak and try to nip you to show affection, this animal isn't in pain or angry.
Everyone quiet! I have pets, and they don't think they are enslaved. They think of it as being with their best friend, and DO NOT TRY to free a pet from a breeder or pet store, as they are domesticated and have not ever lived in the wild in their lifetime.
I bet it's hard to tell what fox noises mean. When we hear cats meow or dogs bark we can usually guess what they want (food, to be let outside, etc.) But with foxes, they probably sound like their in distress, but really that's just the only sounds they can make.
I got my boy a hammock once. He wouldn't use it. So I got him a plush box to sleep in. Sometimes he will climb on top to crush it down. Then sleep on top of it instead.
Some animals aren't ment to be in captivity but that fox was probably breed into captivity and this person looks like they take good care of thier fox so it's better to have someone who takes good care of it to get it then someone who doesn't (and it's already tamed so it would die in the wild) and I believe as long as you have proper housing and are able to take proper care of it then it's okay to have it as a pet ne?
That is purely an opinion and not some sort of scientific fact. Animals aren't born with "domesticate me" stickers on them. Fennec foxes can adjust well to captivity.
No one thought it was cruel to domesticate the wolf or to continue to breed and keep dogs as pets. >.>
@Fleefles - The most likely course for wolves becoming domesticated would be that some would hang around human encampments to get food. This would especially be true if they were some how broken away from the pack.
I wish there were more people like you on this sort of thing. As a VTA I think this matter for most is based purely on opinion, not facts. I agree with you 100%, not just for exotics though, for all animals.

フェネックの鳴き声と言うのを初めて聞きました。フェネックは犬か狐かどちらですか？
nukohiroshi 1 month ago
@nukohiroshi
フェネックは狐だけど、そもそも狐も犬科の動物なので
そんなに違いは無いようです。親戚みたいなもんかな
違いがあるとすれば家畜化されているか否かで気性や行動が変わる
って所でしょうね

@ozakuro ありがとうございました。確か狐がいぬ科の動物と聞いた事はあるのですが、フェネックの見た目は狐とも犬ともつかないのでどっちなんだろうと思って居ましたが、疑問が解けてすっきりしました。

I hate to see that Fennec videos get hate comments because people don't understand the sounds that they make.
This fox is NOT upset or in pain. Look up any fennec videos. They make sounds differently from cats/dogs and this one is actually very happy.
