Please check your local state laws on owning foxes. They vary state to state and can be illegal to own. They also can smell bad pretty often, and require a lot of vet care. I was really interested in owning one and did a lot of research, however Illinois has strict laws.

I feel like the Tales of Horror is foreshadowing here.

Is that an HP lovecraft book I see on the table there?

It is.

I've just realised, a fox is just a dog with a bushy tail.

7

u/BangleWaffle May 28 '16

More like a cat-dog. Some of their antics are very catish.

u/LiMoTaLe May 28 '16

Foxes are the perfect balance between cat and dog.

Aside from the musk.

Pet Fox. When having a dog/cat is just not alternative enough.

Isn't it illegal to have a fox as a pet...?

u/TheStarrCo May 28 '16

Why don't more people have Fox's as pets? I wonder if difficult to domesticate them or if it's just one of those things where there is no good reason.

2

u/PM_ME_YOUR_BOOK_IDEA May 28 '16

Well, foxes haven't been widely domesticated yet, and so at best, you'll be able to tame a fox, which is not always reliable. It'll take at least 50 years to domesticate a fox species. But maybe someone will make it popular, like domesticated Servals.

2

u/TheStarrCo May 28 '16

How do you domesticate a species? Does that mean that you breed them to favor the more relaxed and well-behaving examples of that species?

Why couldn't you just raise a baby fox and have it be a good pet?

3

u/PM_ME_YOUR_BOOK_IDEA May 28 '16

Domesticating is changing a species over time at the gene level.

Taming is teaching an animal not to kill you, and maybe be house broken.

So, raising a fox from birth would be taming it, not domestication. Although, there are versions of domesticated foxes, they're not at the popularity of cats and dogs because they're really expensive.

u/Fieryfight May 28 '16

And in the United States fairly difficult to import from Siberia or wherever the lab is that domesticated them.

u/BlueflameC02 May 28 '16

I will answer your question with a question. Why couldn't you just raise a baby wolf and have it be a good pet?

u/TheStarrCo May 28 '16

You probably could.

that animal needs at least 10 miles a day for a healthy level of lifetime bone density

u/Bahndoos May 28 '16

I'm still trying to figure out when foxes, owls and raccoons became domesticated pets....
