I am so getting a pet fox

[Redhorse]

Plus I'm pretty sure you have to get a permit.

In many places in the US you will need an 'Exotic Animals' permit, which does not cost much and means little except that you are willing to take the responsibility if you get bitten.

EDIT: Many [exotic] animals brought in from other countries are sold as 'domesticated' such as parrots and various, feline and canine animal beeds. The pet shot owners pay someone to bring them in, and there's a guy whos down on his luck, catching them in the wild and selling them to the pet shop [as domestic, high quality] who's trying to increase his profit/ expense margin. I've persoanlly dealth with these 'breeders' before.

Only your hard earned and (often very) expensive' experience will tell for sure.
I do hope for the best for you though.

Exactly, exotics aren't like a cat or a dog (but a fox is like a cat-dog, they're funny animals ) but at least in Utah, you need a permit and other BS you have to go through.

Foxes kill! They're too small.

Size is irrelevant.

Can't decide what kind of fox I want, such as the color as there are many varieties, or morphs as they are known. The red fox has countless colors to chose from, these include marble, cross, silver, cinnamon, fire and ice, platinum gold....there are a lot of them. Some colors are more expensive because of how they're bred.

Here's what a cinnamon looks like

Marble Fox

The next matter of business is a good name. Fox McCloud, Kyuubi, Kurama, Tails, etc? I'm bad with names ROFL


Please read this:
Please do research before claiming foxes are capable of killing humans, the only way they can is if they have rabies, but that goes with every other warm-blooded mammal that has it

Size is irrelevant.

I will need to disagree, but I do appreciate your concern. Foxes' sheer size (or lack thereof) cannot overpower a human. Rabies would be the only way to kill a human, and even then foxes are very wary of people. A human could easily kick the crap out of a fox in self defense and break its rib cage before it would have a chance to bite ya

But believe me, I am taking every precaution as I research, it's not something I'd jump the gun on, though I usually do that anyway No worries, I'm not upset

Can you think of any cool fox names?

If anything, make sure that there's a vet in your area that can take care of foxes. I don't see what could go wrong so long as it's kept away from smaller children, and as for animals, well, my neighbors cat occasionally drops a dead bird or two on our front lawn, so I don't think it'd be too different if it was a fox doing it, right? My uncle had a marble fox when we still lived in Michigan, so owning a fox isn't such a strange thing to me.

EDIT: We called it Vulpy.

Dude, you should check out my fox thread (if you haven't already...), you'd go crazy from seeing the fox pics I took when I play with her. Such a sweet fox I think Michigan and Arkansas are the two states with the most lax laws on exotics. But for sure, I'll definitely keep them away from kids. Most kids don't know the proper way to take approaching them You need to keep them outside, but in a large open space impossible to escape from, with plenty to keep it occupied.

And for no reason, I'll add a picture of Fable, who belongs to a friend of mine

This is how I want him or her to be like

 

[Mikesahhh]

You ever thought about getting a Shiba Inu? While not as cool as a real fox they would be a lot easier and look quite similar =P

They do have a striking resemblance to a fox, Corgis remind me of them too But, no, never really though of getting on ROFL

Foxes are absolutely adorable. Definitely at the top of my short "pets I wish I could have" list, right behind owls.

That they are, nothing makes me squee more than a fluffy adorable fox, and I'm nearly 28 years old . They very awesome animals to play with, since I do that at my internship, it helps establish or give me rudimentary ideas on how they act as pets.
They're so fluffy I'm gonna die!!!

But seriously, they just have that charm, something about them makes them adorable, can't figure it out though

Here's the cutest fox face ever, prepare to get cuteness poisoning

That just screams adorableness! This is what they're capable of

The fact I get to play with her on a regular business helps me get through those hard days

 

[the_randomizer]

Daily dose of more fluffeh foxehs

EMAHGERSH, FLERFFY FERXES

The desire is insatiable, to have such a wonderful companion and friend to be my side

 

[JulietStMoon]

Um... Do they ever open their eyes? Reminds me of Brock, from Pokemon.

 

[Black-Ice]

The urban Foxes in my area have ruined my perception of foxes, but thoses are damn cute.

 

[WiiUBricker]

Just make sure that your fox doesn't go rampage and destroy your village!

They do, I just love their closed eye/happy fox face is all Not a bad name at all, if I get a male, I'll name him Brock, in fact, I feel like using Photoshop to add his eyes on a fox, or on a fox Pokemon

The urban Foxes in my area have ruined my perception of foxes, but thoses are damn cute.

That they are, foxes are so bloody adorable

Just make sure that your fox doesn't go rampage and destroy your village!

Only if I named him Kurama or Kyuubi But I'm going back to my internship today, and my dad's letting me borrow his video camera, heheheheh.

How ironic that the sanctuary owners happened to plan on me coming today, of all days. Very sneakily appropriate of them

Here's the fox, Skitter, who's an absolute sweetheart around people, with her eyes open

Oh god, I've been so touched by this thread. Makes me want to get a fox although I really can't see it happening. I've read every damn post here, time well spent. :') Call it Vulpix, please.

Really? Thank you for liking the information and the pictures (speak of which, I've a new album coming up soon!) as cheesy as it may sound ROFL. Foxes are my favorite animals, hands down

 

[FireSeel]

Foxes are so cute! They look like they would be great to own. Skitter looks adorable too.
