Faybee Silver Fox Eating Meaty Bone

Faybee working on a meaty roast bone (venison). This is August 1996, the time of year when her coat is thinnest. She looks like a silver-backed jackal, we would always say. Her physique here actually looks more like a red fox in the wild. She has finished off most of the bone but she is still picking at it!

Aww, Faybee's so cute! ^_^

Do you know how long Silver Foxes usually live, or if they're legal in Michigan? xD Your animal seems to beautiful to have passed away.

Thanks. well red or silver foxes can live to 15 years, she made it to almost 15. she never had any serious problems either, quite hardy. she also never had bad breath LOL! I dont know much about the State of Michigan, but I would imagine if you were careful enough and kept one under wraps you could probably keep one. That is what we did. Nobody bothered us.

Are Silver Fox's friendly? Where can you get one anyway?

[LittleFrock]

Not sure where you can get one these days....she came from a farm. Now people breed them to sell as pets but whether they make good pets or not is still up for discussion.

@LittleFrock hello i was thinking of getting a silver fox they are so cute ^ ^ i was wondering if you needed a perment to have a fox? and what do they eat?

@LittleFrock Where did you get her in the wild or from a breeder

[phoenixhielo]

Not that it would replace her, but do you think you might be able some day to acquire another fox-friend?

[phoenixhielo]

I wouldnt recommomend keeping it underwraps. Check your state's game commissioner or wildlife website. Usually it is a permit process that shouldn't be too hard. I read for Pennsylvania it is a fifty dollar fee and no known land or cage requirements. (Florida requires like an acre or two and a 70 sq. feet outdoor cage)

Not looking into it may be cheaper but remember that if caught, the state might confiscate the fox and fine and incarcerate you. But dont give up trying to get a fox!
