@sinagog truth: yes they poop and pee a lot. But the pros (if you can call it that): the poop is normally the size of a few raisins, if not smaller sometimes... and the pee doesn't smell like skunks... it just smells like pee... not very potent, but not unnoticeable either
But its freaking out like that because you need to take it on walks every single day for a long period of time. They are HIGHLY energetic animals ^^ But you look like you take very good care of him. Also Kyro is the cutest name EVER for a fox :D love it!
absolutly cute x3 just on his acting you can see that hes totaly healty and happy ..i mean otherwise he woudnt run in fullspeed and squeek excited... realy cute the little guy x3people that hold animals like " a puppy" as christmas present ..this is a crime ...but not people that give a animal a home that woud have probably died in the nature... i bet hes pretty wild anyhow *grins* (even with a "indoor home"
i told my mom that a fennec fox would be the best little friend for our cat who is also hyper as hell. i even have everything down and ready to take care of a fennec fox. but my mom said no. ;w;"
To me, when they scream like that, I initially think they're in pain or are scared or something, but nope, just happy. Domesticating wild animals is interesting :D So many things to learn about them..
Also just wanna throw this out there: Dogs and cats were once wild animals. As were birds and fish and snakes and everything. So, gotta start somewhere to make domestic animals, right? x3
So adorable. So many people seem to be complaining about how you own a Fennec. I believe as long as it is in a good home (which he seems to be) he is well off. I can understand not wanting all Fennecs to be owned, but we own horses don't we. Were they once not wild? Is it right for us to own horses if we cannot own a Fennec? Another point, I'd rather see someone with a fennec in a good home versus a dog in a home where he is beaten. I'd rather fight animal cruelty than a good person with a fox.
This is just my two cents. I am sure the fox is much better off in the safety of this house than in the desert where people would probably do all sorts of cruel things to him for his fur. If I was the fox I would take a house over a desert any day. The fox is safe, happy, and healthy and that is all that matters. Therefore it is not cruel of her to keep this fox as a pet.
Ok, seriously, ur gonna make fun of someone because they have an animal that most people dont have? i think you all are jellous. i mean this is pretty freakin cool i would do anything to have a pet like that. and @thedizzyedge , I think that is pretty beast and even IMM jellous.
I think they are absolutely adorable. I can't see myself ever owning one but I would like to have a friend who had one that I could play with from time to time. They seem like a LOT of work and I hear you basically have to baby proof your house cuz they get into everything.
@lovethe1wolves Naturally he would have been a desert animal, but he was not born in the desert and physically does not rely on a desert landscape to live. If you have any indoor pets though, you should put them outside and keep them there because they "belong there"
I Agree with you.there is some People that are claiming themselves to be animal protectors, sometimes becomes annoying, they cant even see a exoctic animal being as a companion, yep but more companion than being just a pet.In my own thoughts, i find fennec fox as one of the best animals to be kept, at least that i what i think, better than keeping a venemous or dangerous animal. includying better than dog or cat. Im working in learning more before adopting one.
and this is my reply to people who says that theses type of animals needs to be on the wild: my response is, theses animals has better chance of surving while in the wilds has big chances to be hunted by people or animals, BEING OVERPROTECTIVE can be very annoying, give it a rest having a fennec wont hurt anybody, who knows if fennecs population will increase dramactically, because of people having one, isnt this a epic come back?
@lovethe1wolves Cats are native to deserts. Do you oppose people keeping cats as pets as well? As long as the animal is happy and healthy, it doesn't matter. If he was raised in captivity, it'd be cruel to return him to that environment.
@lovethe1wolves how bout you keep ur hippy lovey dovey stuff to yourself these animals are perfectly fine in a domesticated area, my friend has one of these and she is just fine she does not need to be in the desert to survive or live they are perfectly fine in homes.
omg Cairo is adorable i cant even stand it haha. i been researching on them because they seem to be a very fun animal, and id love to train on and bring it to agility with my other dogs. I have had exotic animals before but not as exotic (: hope to see more cute videos of Cairo!
I can't believe some of these comments lol. My dog does this! When I let him inside after going out he runs all over the house and on the furniture. He's just having fun! This is a beautiful animal and if he felt threatened or wasn't well he would be hiding not running around playing.
You are a saint for not getting mad about the way he jumped on your leather sofa. Your fox is adorable though, I'm sure it would be hard to get mad at him. :P
Sooo cool. Me and my fiance are thinking of getting one. It's too bad about all the people who can't seem to understand that a fennec can be a wonderful pet.

This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Foxes can never be domesticated-they will try to run away if given the opportunity, they aren't nice and cuddly. Just because you're allowed to keep something doesn't mean you should. If you can keep it happy that's great, but I fear that you're giving people ideas that it's all fun and games and encouraging people to buy them. Can you imagine all of the poor wild fennecs being trapped and bought because people can't just settle for one of the many MANY cats and dogs in shelters?!
@Kalypso1323 I actually encourage people not to get them unless they can handle the full responsibility of taking care of one of these animals-- which is why I don't tell people where I got Cairo from. He was born in the US though and hand-reared--he specifically never would have ended up in the wild. People seek different animals for different reasons, and all animals will behave differently depending on their environment and the people they are around. Every situation is unique.
@Kalypso1323 What makes you think every pet is captured and sold? They're bred for domestic living, you ignormaous. No one is taking the wild foxes out of their habitat.
@coughin05 And do you think this fox just appeared out of nowhere, semi-domesticated? And when demand for these creatures increases do you really think people won't pursue them for this purpose? Interestingly enough, the Fennec is quite difficult to train and solicit, yet I imagine there are plenty of cats and dogs being put down because people would rather purchase (and for quite an expense) a pet that can make people go 'omg wow so cute'. Also, it's ignoramus, try the spell-check.
@Kalypso1323 Well now, I never said that. Why would you assume I think something that you, as you pointed out in such an obvious way, consider an idiotic notion?
It's interesting that you should tell anyone to settle for a cat or a dog from the shelter--it's a nice idea, but honestly, if someone wants a fox, they should get a fox at no cost to the fox, not a cat they don't want.
Also, do you think animals are in some way hurt or hindered from 'captivity'? Because I really can't see that.
@coughin05 Oh no. Not all animals are hindered by captivity, dogs and cats do quite well. But they have been domesticated for thousands of years. Foxes are a rather new acquisition, and as I mentioned, only semi-domesticated. But why should we bother looking for new animals to keep when we have so many in need of homes. If you cut availability, then people won't have them. 'If they want a fox, they should get a fox'; how do you know they're as responsible as the owner in the video?
@azi2g I'm sorry, who are you again? Please, if you find yourself unable to understand my commentary and instead try to denigrate my words to suit your own simpleton understanding, it becomes more embarrassing to you than myself. Or, as you would better comprehend: 'bitch, please.'
Most wild animals are taken in to be cared for because their environment was destroyed or is dangerous for them, not because people only feel like catching them out of the wild. It's not only cat's and dogs that end up in shelters. Both wild and domestic animals are sheltered. It's just that some don't develop the ability to fend for themselves because they were too young when they got separated. So people continue to care for it as best they can.
This fox seems like it has a comfortable life with a caring owner, which is good to see. I still think that a wild animal like this one is to remain in its natural habitat from birth to death. I have read that you adopted this animal from a very early age and I can easily understand how this fox would definitely not make it in the wild were it to be released into it. My only sadness from this is the thought of the original fennec fox that was taken from the wild which was the ancestor of this.
@ChelseyKnowsNoBounds you never know if it was really taken from the wild or not. There is always a chance that one ended up in human care because of an injury and wasnt able to go back into the wild. There are many animals that get hurt by human activities and can not go back into the wild, thats why they end up in cares or zoos. One of his ancestors might have just been that. You never know.
@kikowzz One: Keeping a fennec isn't illegal where I live. Two: Keeping a fennec doesn't make me a bitch. Three: I take him to the U of I for wild/exotic vet care-- if there were a problem I'm sure they'd prevent me from taking him back home every time I go for checkups. Four: You lack sufficient information to even have an argument over this with me... So do us all a favor and never do jury duty or go into some law bullshit... You're clearly an irrational individual with a shitty temper.
@thedizzyedge hi i think its really cool you have a fox, im only 16 but i plan on getting a fox when im older......i live in Indiana and i want to know if i needed a permit or not......and where do i get one. Im a huge animal lover and i respect all of them so im sure i whould take great care of a fennec fox....but i need to know if or if not i can buy one
@kikowzz I agree with everything thedizzyedge said. Plus, all fennec foxes that are now sold as pets have been raised and bred for over 50 years for that purpose and would die if put into their natural habitat, even if they aren't a domesticated creature.
@kikowzz Ya thedizzyedge is doing everything right with her fennec and you obviously aren't from this country to know anything about how these animals were bred. I would just keep your comments to yourself because your making yourself look stupid!
@kikowzz Keep your ignorance to yourself. Look up what a fennec is is before you make yourself look more like an idiot.
They are legal in many places as pets. Moreover, you have NO idea whether the person in a video is licensed to have an animal even if it was illegal as a pet! That would still make it OK.
Were you able to litter box train him? Also, how is his temperament being that he is male? Would you recommend male - female or fixing them? Did you have a biting problem ( I mean did he ever purposely bite you to inflict harm)? These are the question that I am trying to get info about so if you could tell me what you think from your experience I would be most appreciative. Thank you for your patience.
@wildfiresspindal2190 he uses training pads... i gave up on box training because he'd end up thinking the box was a good place to curl up and nap in and that was pretty gross... all male foxes kept as indoor pets should be neutered or they will spray. Cairo's been neutered and he still tries to hump my cat, so I'm not sure if it really affected his behavior much-- but I'm no expert on that sort of thing. Cairo can draw blood, but usually growls and gently nips before he'll ever actually bites.
You can't fully domesticate a fennec, even when you get him as a newly born.
he may bite like I said, but if you realy like this animal then it's nothing, just don't be naive, fennec's tends to run when you let them go outside.
Found your channel via a video posted on dogwork dot com. I think your pet is adorable and has one of the nicest "captive" living environments it could possibly have. I'm assuming the trolls have cause you to remove some videos since there were more here last night than there are this morning. I personally apologize for the internet trolls and congratulate you on having a good attitude towards the criticism. Hope you and Cairo have many happy days together.
@jaeklund Thank ya :) and I did actually have more videos, but I just started cleaning out my youtube of all the videos that don't get watched as much since I'll probably start uploading some more things soon
Wow. I just read all the comments, and what the hell, really people are giving you shit for owning a fox that was from a breeder. My god its not like you keep him in a tiny enclosure, Though I do think we should get him a sand box. Anyway I did enjoy that all the fennec fox experts came out to give their professional opinions. Either that or all these people are suffering from small penises, that's the only other explanation for a bunch of pissed off people.
@klayevan welp i'm glad you don't have a small penis and you're not a pissy, animal welfare "expert" ;) ... but you're right, cairo needs a sandbox... a sandbox with really high walls.
My roommates dog use to do that. The problem was that it was a weimaraner so it wasn't so cute when it did it. he would slam the furniture into the wall.
Looks like you have a healthy and excited companion, and I am happy Cairo gets along with the cat. I hope you all have a happy life together. To Hell with all the haters leaving comments. As long as you and yours are happy together, the rest can go hang themselves. Sure you have an exotic pet, but so do millions of others, that have lizards, big cats, rare birds and Parrots etc... As long as you are caring for your pet, and it is stimulated and Happy, and Healthy, that is all that matters.Enjoy!
Cairo is a wild animal. I am not going to judge you for having a wild animal "caged" in an urban apartment, as I di not know what were the conditionants to this situation. Anyway, she obviously needs more room to exercise her musculature, reflexes and instincts, thats the real reason for all the running, digging, etc. She is clearly overweight by now, probably ready for reproduction, and all the comportamental implications that it has on a wild animal are becoming obvious
@alvarolem All animals need exercise and I recognize that. Cairo is a neutered male living in a 1700 sq ft. house with a backyard and full unfinished basement, both of which he gets to enjoy with supervision.
I am considering getting one and I keep reading reviews that the peep (smells like skunk) and poop everywhere...is this true with your experience?

Foxes can never be domesticated-they will try to run away if given the opportunity, they aren't nice and cuddly. Just because you're allowed to keep something doesn't mean you should. If you can keep it happy that's great, but I fear that you're giving people ideas that it's all fun and games and encouraging people to buy them. Can you imagine all of the poor wild fennecs being trapped and bought because people can't just settle for one of the many MANY cats and dogs in shelters?!

@Kalypso1323 I actually encourage people not to get them unless they can handle the full responsibility of taking care of one of these animals-- which is why I don't tell people where I got Cairo from. He was born in the US though and hand-reared--he specifically never would have ended up in the wild. People seek different animals for different reasons, and all animals will behave differently depending on their environment and the people they are around. Every situation is unique.

@thedizzyedge Good to hear, but you must understand my legitimate concern. Many people aren't going to be as responsible as you are, sadly. :/

@Kalypso1323 What makes you think every pet is captured and sold? They're bred for domestic living, you ignormaous. No one is taking the wild foxes out of their habitat.

@coughin05 And do you think this fox just appeared out of nowhere, semi-domesticated? And when demand for these creatures increases do you really think people won't pursue them for this purpose? Interestingly enough, the Fennec is quite difficult to train and solicit, yet I imagine there are plenty of cats and dogs being put down because people would rather purchase (and for quite an expense) a pet that can make people go 'omg wow so cute'. Also, it's ignoramus, try the spell-check.
Kalypso1323 1 month ago
@Kalypso1323 Well now, I never said that. Why would you assume I think something that you, as you pointed out in such an obvious way, consider an idiotic notion?
It's interesting that you should tell anyone to settle for a cat or a dog from the shelter--it's a nice idea, but honestly, if someone wants a fox, they should get a fox at no cost to the fox, not a cat they don't want.
Also, do you think animals are in some way hurt or hindered from 'captivity'? Because I really can't see that.
coughin05 1 month ago
@coughin05 Oh no. Not all animals are hindered by captivity, dogs and cats do quite well. But they have been domesticated for thousands of years. Foxes are a rather new acquisition, and as I mentioned, only semi-domesticated. But why should we bother looking for new animals to keep when we have so many in need of homes. If you cut availability, then people won't have them. 'If they want a fox, they should get a fox'; how do you know they're as responsible as the owner in the video?

Most wild animals are taken in to be cared for because their environment was destroyed or is dangerous for them, not because people only feel like catching them out of the wild. It's not only cat's and dogs that end up in shelters. Both wild and domestic animals are sheltered. It's just that some don't develop the ability to fend for themselves because they were too young when they got separated. So people continue to care for it as best they can.

This fox seems like it has a comfortable life with a caring owner, which is good to see. I still think that a wild animal like this one is to remain in its natural habitat from birth to death. I have read that you adopted this animal from a very early age and I can easily understand how this fox would definitely not make it in the wild were it to be released into it. My only sadness from this is the thought of the original fennec fox that was taken from the wild which was the ancestor of this.
ChelseyKnowsNoBounds 1 month ago 2
@ChelseyKnowsNoBounds you never know if it was really taken from the wild or not. There is always a chance that one ended up in human care because of an injury and wasnt able to go back into the wild. There are many animals that get hurt by human activities and can not go back into the wild, thats why they end up in cares or zoos. One of his ancestors might have just been that. You never know.

@kikowzz One: Keeping a fennec isn't illegal where I live. Two: Keeping a fennec doesn't make me a bitch. Three: I take him to the U of I for wild/exotic vet care-- if there were a problem I'm sure they'd prevent me from taking him back home every time I go for checkups. Four: You lack sufficient information to even have an argument over this with me... So do us all a favor and never do jury duty or go into some law bullshit... You're clearly an irrational individual with a shitty temper.

@thedizzyedge hi i think its really cool you have a fox, im only 16 but i plan on getting a fox when im older......i live in Indiana and i want to know if i needed a permit or not......and where do i get one. Im a huge animal lover and i respect all of them so im sure i whould take great care of a fennec fox....but i need to know if or if not i can buy one
yomama30001 1 month ago
@kikowzz I agree with everything thedizzyedge said. Plus, all fennec foxes that are now sold as pets have been raised and bred for over 50 years for that purpose and would die if put into their natural habitat, even if they aren't a domesticated creature.

@kikowzz Ya thedizzyedge is doing everything right with her fennec and you obviously aren't from this country to know anything about how these animals were bred. I would just keep your comments to yourself because your making yourself look stupid!
NWtwin2011 2 months ago
@kikowzz Keep your ignorance to yourself. Look up what a fennec is is before you make yourself look more like an idiot.
They are legal in many places as pets. Moreover, you have NO idea whether the person in a video is licensed to have an animal even if it was illegal as a pet! That would still make it OK.
Fool.

Were you able to litter box train him? Also, how is his temperament being that he is male? Would you recommend male - female or fixing them? Did you have a biting problem ( I mean did he ever purposely bite you to inflict harm)? These are the question that I am trying to get info about so if you could tell me what you think from your experience I would be most appreciative. Thank you for your patience.
wildfiresspindal2190 2 months ago
@wildfiresspindal2190 he uses training pads... i gave up on box training because he'd end up thinking the box was a good place to curl up and nap in and that was pretty gross... all male foxes kept as indoor pets should be neutered or they will spray. Cairo's been neutered and he still tries to hump my cat, so I'm not sure if it really affected his behavior much-- but I'm no expert on that sort of thing. Cairo can draw blood, but usually growls and gently nips before he'll ever actually bites.
thedizzyedge 2 months ago
@wildfiresspindal2190 You have to have them when they're recently born, you got to take them from their mothers.
That's the only way you can domesticate a fennec (and even like this, fennecs keeps their pride)
And the only way to get them like this is going to the sahara desert and buy it from a hunter or at the market.
Otherwise yes, he may bite.
cepomwa 2 months ago
@wildfiresspindal2190 ah sorry I didn't made my point btw.
You can't fully domesticate a fennec, even when you get him as a newly born.
he may bite like I said, but if you realy like this animal then it's nothing, just don't be naive, fennec's tends to run when you let them go outside.

Found your channel via a video posted on dogwork dot com. I think your pet is adorable and has one of the nicest "captive" living environments it could possibly have. I'm assuming the trolls have cause you to remove some videos since there were more here last night than there are this morning. I personally apologize for the internet trolls and congratulate you on having a good attitude towards the criticism. Hope you and Cairo have many happy days together.

Wow. I just read all the comments, and what the hell, really people are giving you shit for owning a fox that was from a breeder. My god its not like you keep him in a tiny enclosure, Though I do think we should get him a sand box. Anyway I did enjoy that all the fennec fox experts came out to give their professional opinions. Either that or all these people are suffering from small penises, that's the only other explanation for a bunch of pissed off people.
klayevan 2 months ago 2
@klayevan welp i'm glad you don't have a small penis and you're not a pissy, animal welfare "expert" ;) ... but you're right, cairo needs a sandbox... a sandbox with really high walls.

My roommates dog use to do that. The problem was that it was a weimaraner so it wasn't so cute when it did it. he would slam the furniture into the wall.

Looks like you have a healthy and excited companion, and I am happy Cairo gets along with the cat. I hope you all have a happy life together. To Hell with all the haters leaving comments. As long as you and yours are happy together, the rest can go hang themselves. Sure you have an exotic pet, but so do millions of others, that have lizards, big cats, rare birds and Parrots etc... As long as you are caring for your pet, and it is stimulated and Happy, and Healthy, that is all that matters.Enjoy!

Cairo is a wild animal. I am not going to judge you for having a wild animal "caged" in an urban apartment, as I di not know what were the conditionants to this situation. Anyway, she obviously needs more room to exercise her musculature, reflexes and instincts, thats the real reason for all the running, digging, etc. She is clearly overweight by now, probably ready for reproduction, and all the comportamental implications that it has on a wild animal are becoming obvious
alvarolem 2 months ago 2
@alvarolem All animals need exercise and I recognize that. Cairo is a neutered male living in a 1700 sq ft. house with a backyard and full unfinished basement, both of which he gets to enjoy with supervision.
