when people have the idea "fox are bad" i think its because they like chickens and this was a problem on the old age, is there a diference in a male or female fox? does one gender gets more aggressive easly (if they happen to be) than the other counterpart, or is a male more sneaky than a female or bad behaviors?

There are a lot of myths surrounding foxes, they are opportunistic carnivores, but they won't go out and ravage entire hen houses/chicken coops, but will pick on the weak/sick ones more than anything. Foxes are very timid by nature and will run rather than attack and fight, being a last resort. Personality-wise, females tend to be more calm but like people, they can be very varied with their temperaments; not to mention how they've been raised by people, how well they've been socialized and interacted with, a lot of factors can make a fox a good pet. In the case of the foxes I've interacted with, they've all been very friendly and loving, but also very hyper and playful. Red foxes (and their color morphs like silver, marble, cinnamon, pearl, etc) are in generally, willing to bond with more than just their owner if bonded at the right time (soon after birth).

I might have to go to the hospital. I seriously am suffering from cute poisoning

I felt overwhelming joy when I held her, she is just a sweet little vixen, she just felt safe in our arms, cuddling her, ensuring security. Just a very affectionate and loving soul she is! :wub:

Must be seriously an honor. I know that feel, when I did that curricular thing a while ago.

They're amazing animals, so misunderstood and also very sweet when hand-reared like this, great way to help me better deal with my anxiety and stress :D and in case you missed it, I posted videos of her as well in the previous page :P

There's a difference in this just like there's a difference between male and female humans. I don't have a problem running into a chicken coop and watching dozens of chickens flying about in terror and clucking loudly. But I don't eat live chickens, so, yes, that part of a foxes' behaviour is bad.

Yay, I only missed a page of pictures. :) They're all darling: and I saw that first video. I'll watch the other one when I feel like it... It's so great to see you again, CTO! We've missed you; you're a faithful thread follower ;)


I wondered where you've wandered off too lol, glad that you enjoy the cute fluffeh foxeh pics :D :P

And it's partially a myth that they raid chicken coops, like all canids, they are opportunistic carnivores and will attack and kill to survive, and the many other myths that surround them are ones that need to be dispelled :P Coyotes, wolves and other animals will kill for survival as well. I hope that my continuance in positing these pics helps dispel at least some of the misconceptions :D

Holy crap, very cute. Ugh, how do you manage all the cuteness, dear the_randomizer?


That's just it, I can't, I melt into a puddle every time I work with foxes, that's how amazing they are. And my heart? Explodes from the adorableness and affection :wub:
