Please do your research before you go out and buy one of these. These animals are extremely social and are required to be kept in pairs or they get depressed. They live in burrows in the wild that are 10+ feet deep. If u don’t have the ability to keep 2 and give them an outdoor enclosure that they can’t dig out of then don’t keep them as pets
Also only works if you live in a very warm and dry climate or else it’ll be too cold for them to even enjoy outdoors much less dig. It’s so sad this adorable little creature isn’t going to be happy being a human’s pet.

@@Chrissie780 Animals who are raised in captivity should *never* be released into the wild, considering they'd have no knowledge of how to survive. They wouldn't be aware of predator or competitor species nor how to stay safe from them, they wouldn't know where prey is located or how to hunt, they wouldn't know how to socialize with others, and they'd be unable to find water or shelter. An animal should only be released into the wild if 1.) They came from the wild and were only kept in captivity for a short amount of time to heal injuries meaning that they grew up in the wild, 2.) They were raised in an artificial environment which replicated their natural one and had parents and had been introduced to predators, 3.) The species does not need to rely on conscious thought to survive (such as insects).
Okay. As a Fennec fox Owner : Fox in General Are Carnivores, they hunt live game. Feed your Fox meat of all kinds, salt and clean NON FAUCET Water. I feed mine Beef Liver and chicken liver all the time. They LOVE it !

I have had a few different “exotic animals” that were all rescues and I can say that all of them made for terrible pets. Just because something is cute and sweet doesn’t mean you should own one
Does this include foxes? Its been a dream of mine to care for a fox as a pet, but if it's not going to be safe for both myself and the fox I can give up that dream. I've seen quite a few people who have had foxes, but never really got the full run down. If you don't have an answer, that's alright, lol.
I really like your point. It’s fine to have them if they are a rescue, you know what you are doing, and can take care of them. Especially if there are no sanctuaries for the animal whete you live. In my area, the only option would be giving them to a local zoo, which is rather a bad option, and they would have hundreds of people starring at them for hours daily, which is rather stressful. However, videos like this one here, might end up causing many people who have no knowledge, to just buy the animal, treating it like owning a cat, or worst, buying it to make pictures or videos to post and earn money on them. Or reproduce them and sell their kids to earn money.
Thank you!!!! Stop being a selfish piece of crap and wanting to own and ruin lives by purchasing wild animals and supporting illegal animal trade, these people are so freaking selfish
@@Ceo_OfRarepairs well actual domesticated foxes being raised in Russia are not only crazy expensive, but are actually not enough generations in to be "good" pets yet.
You forgot to mention: Theyre loud. Theyre. EXTREMELY. Loud. They scream, screech and squeak when they're happy, sad, angry, or just existing. AND they tend to be more nocturnal, so that screaming goes on all night.
Your name fits well, the fox can't survive in the wild because he's on a feeding schedule not a hunting schedule, the fox just like dogs and cats and birds and alligators and ferrets and bunny's and mice and rats all still have natural instincts no matter what. If she let him go just because of your stupid comment and people like you encouraging it he would be dead or swooped up by a bird or hit by a car or eaten alive or die or hunger or thirst not knowing where to get those materials.

@Pink Panther Same with cats they tear shit. your point about wild animals being impossible to tame is simply untrue as all animals have a psychology and so think and react in a certain way to stimuli around them.In reality people can tame any animal There are people who literally live with prides of lions simply because they understand and mimic lion psychology Also "wild" animals that come into contact with humans often eventually become used to them and therefore become tame. Examples of this can be found in hundreds of places around the world such as wildlife parks where "wild" animals develop relationships with park rangers

@mand0r agree. Leave that poor wild animal alone
@@Chrissie780 Animals who are raised in captivity should *never* be released into the wild, considering they'd have no knowledge of how to survive. They wouldn't be aware of predator or competitor species nor how to stay safe from them, they wouldn't know where prey is located or how to hunt, they wouldn't know how to socialize with others, and they'd be unable to find water or shelter. An animal should only be released into the wild if 1.) They came from the wild and were only kept in captivity for a short amount of time to heal injuries meaning that they grew up in the wild, 2.) They were raised in an artificial environment which replicated their natural one and had parents and had been introduced to predators, 3.) The species does not need to rely on conscious thought to survive (such as insects).

Okay. As a Fennec fox Owner : Fox in General Are Carnivores, they hunt live game. Feed your Fox meat of all kinds, salt and clean NON FAUCET Water. I feed mine Beef Liver and chicken liver all the time. They LOVE it !
i too like beef liver
Why do you have a Fennec Fox?
You should have done clips of him using the litter box, playing, being lovable, eating its food, video of it tearing up your stuff (this is the one people want to see because it's frustrating, yet still adorable.) And of it possibly being a little aggressive. All the things you listed.
It sounds like something that probably shouldn't be a pet.
Not only SHOULDN'T be a pet, but ISN'T a pet. These are wild undomesticated animals that internet influencers said "Aw cute" and forced them to live in their mansions.
It definitely should not be a pet. They are not domesticated animals
@@GsusIsKing Actually٫ most animals that originally are supposed to live in the wild usually end up in the care of humans bc they were injured in a way that they cannot be released into the wild But yes٫ they sadly sometimes are bought by rich ppl as a pet or even decor
@@joy86966 There are only 100 domesticated foxes in the world and those were apart of a domestication experiment. What you are describing is rehabilitated foxes. Even zoo animals are not domesticated, and they have spent generations in captivity. Domestication takes hundreds of years of being almost completely dependent on humans. These foxes are 100% wild my friend, they are just bred in captivity.
@@joy86966
That's not what domesticated means. Domesticated means that an entirely new specie is created. Dogs are not wolves, were as fennec foxes are still fennec foxes.

@@nunyabizay9253 yes!! Look at pugs! Domesticating is so good and healthy 🤩💞
I have had a few different “exotic animals” that were all rescues and I can say that all of them made for terrible pets. Just because something is cute and sweet doesn’t mean you should own one
Does this include foxes? Its been a dream of mine to care for a fox as a pet, but if it's not going to be safe for both myself and the fox I can give up that dream. I've seen quite a few people who have had foxes, but never really got the full run down. If you don't have an answer, that's alright, lol.
I really like your point. It’s fine to have them if they are a rescue, you know what you are doing, and can take care of them. Especially if there are no sanctuaries for the animal whete you live. In my area, the only option would be giving them to a local zoo, which is rather a bad option, and they would have hundreds of people starring at them for hours daily, which is rather stressful. However, videos like this one here, might end up causing many people who have no knowledge, to just buy the animal, treating it like owning a cat, or worst, buying it to make pictures or videos to post and earn money on them. Or reproduce them and sell their kids to earn money.
Thank you!!!! Stop being a selfish piece of crap and wanting to own and ruin lives by purchasing wild animals and supporting illegal animal trade, these people are so freaking selfish

Your name fits well, the fox can't survive in the wild because he's on a feeding schedule not a hunting schedule, the fox just like dogs and cats and birds and alligators and ferrets and bunny's and mice and rats all still have natural instincts no matter what. If she let him go just because of your stupid comment and people like you encouraging it he would be dead or swooped up by a bird or hit by a car or eaten alive or die or hunger or thirst not knowing where to get those materials. ALSO foxes travel in clans! He would be so defenseless and that's not fair. So shut your trap!!!

You forgot the absolute most important thing dude, they have super sensitive ears and are nocturnal by nature. You shouldn’t even have this as a pet no matter how cute it is.
Remember most of the time, exotic pets were saved from fur farms or something like that. It’s either be cared for by a loving human or be fucked over in the wild
I have super sensitive ears and rarely sleep too, especially at night, sooo
@@bennu547 Fr when there are so many domesticated animals in desperate need of a home, there is no need to rip a wild animal from theirs. Or support the wild animal pet industry in any way, because it’s absolutely disgusting. Even in the case of a rescue, they are much better off at a preserve or a sanctuary. Or at the very least with a wild animal expert of some sort. Some random person’s house is literally a last resort.
@@alh7197 we are literally all gonna die one day, why does it matter ??? If the fox is happy in its home let it be🙄
@@notayoutuber4432 “Why does it matter?” You don’t think animals should have a good quality of life and be happy, just because we’re going to die? What insane logic. They are still living beings with emotion. Please, never get an animal.

I’m gonna really really hope she’s got a license to own the adorable thing, it’s legal in her state, has access to an exotic vet, has enough room OUTSIDE for it in a HOT environment, and all that stuff that it needs to be in a simulated and healthy environment

@@immachine1565 yes it is if it's for the wellbeing of an animal
@@immachine1565 it absolutely is when it comes to exotic pets. They're not domesticated & can act unpredictably, especially if the owner isn't treating them as they should + giving them things that stimulate them. Three words; Travis the chimp
@@immachine1565 I'm not too sure if I understand everything you said because that was hard to read, but I won't make a big deal out of it since some people aren't native speakers 🤷♂️
you literally stated a good reason why people need permission to keep wild animals like that though; some can become more aggressive and hormonal than others and unexperienced owners can't always handle that. there's also things like the wrong environment, social needs, food, etc. if you cannot provide a good, proper life for an animal, especially a non-domesticated one, then it *is* others' business to take that animal from them.
I love that you used the term Sexual Maturity. We used to use that term to explain the traits of our exotic cats when we did shows and tours. No one seemed to know what that meant!
well I had one of those as a child, found it out in the field, he was my guard, no one ever told me it wasnt' a dog, lol, until one day a police office found him skinned alive on the other side of the road down from where I lived, that's when he told me what it was, I was still confused and didn't care to me he was a dog, I cried for days end, to this day I miss him and think about him often. He lived outside on his own with the other animals.

@Pink Panther Being wild does not mean it can't be tamed and domestic does not mean it is tame either.
@Pink Panther Same with cats they tear shit.
your point about wild animals being impossible to tame is simply untrue as all animals have a psychology and so think and react in a certain way to stimuli around them.In reality people can tame any animal
There are people who literally live with prides of lions simply because they understand and mimic lion psychology
Also "wild" animals that come into contact with humans often eventually become used to them and therefore become tame.
Examples of this can be found in hundreds of places around the world such as wildlife parks where "wild" animals develop relationships with park rangers
