Domesticated foxes

[Firegirl26]

I think we can do a domesticated the fox it will take a while, but it could work

 

[VAIDS Victim]

Yup, definitely possible.

It's already happening, they aren't the best of pets but selective breeding for personality traits that make for good pets yields results even in 3-4 generations worth of breeding it.

A lot of animals can be domesticated without issue, it's up to the owners to understand how to provide for them and communicate.

This Lady is a solid teacher and isn't as gimmicky as some of the "Fluentpet" types that became a MLM scam. Bird Kindergarten has scientist-backed research behind them.

This lady has been slowly introducing a wild squirrel to the same activities she does with her birds, obviously modified for a squirrel. Again, completely wild but still picking up and learning skills she has taught her birds.

Many cases of Foxes becoming domesticated when rescued and then going feral again when released.

However they are varmints. Even if they live in cities. I saw one the other day at midday in someones drive way. Their getting bolder, I tell ya.

If there is a potential to profit off something people will find a way to do it. The idea of owning a fox does sound appealing and they are adorable. It would be a little bit like both a cat and dog in one animal.

Yiff yiff!

Just get a raccoon and teach it to flip people off.

 

[The Catboy Enthusiast]

Me want fox pet.

 

[Crimson Fucker]

I want a swamp puppy to feed the bodies of my enemies to.

i wanted a red fox a long time ago but you need a large yard and space for them because they get really hyper but theyre adorable. you can have skunks as pets too with their stink gland removed and they act like cats..

 

[ecto_chasm]

they are adorable but VERY hard to take care of from what I hear. expensive too.

 

[Crimson Fucker]

I think they could easily be domesticated in at least certain areas because in some places they loose their fear of humans and are not particularly aggressive so that's pretty much the first step.

special diet need lots of space, vet bills of anything went down and lots of time and attention.. but a big yard would be an absolute must

 

[RumpleSmooothSkin]

I have a domesticated fox his name is @Gargamel and he says yiff yiff

 

[WrigleysNotThatExtra]

In some countries they allow it and more people have started adopting them since theyre cute but from what i've seen though theyre very difficult and hard to keep, a lot more than a bad dog would be.

Tend to be very territorial
and stinky
big yard and fences that go underground would be important since they like to dig
specialist vets maybe, im not sure how many vets will be confident for foxes lol
expensive but cute so worth it if you can afford the makeover and trouble

It took hundreds/thousands of years to create the domesticated cat/dog breeds today, less than the 20-50 years of fox domestication but apparently even wild foxes are becoming braver and entering suburbs for food from people.

So do cats. I've had lots of them at a time and the males would spray everywhere so I had to get rid of them.
