I think your Mum will be lucky to get one in the UK it looks like it's a USA trend at the moment. They look as though it is a lot of hard work to master domestication of these foxes too. It even says it's tricky to find a vet to take one on. They are beautiful but I think cats and dogs look a lot less work. Good luck in your search. ____________ Jo & The Lovely Loonies xxxxxxxx Posted: Sat Jul 07, 2007 10:21 pm Hcollie85 TopDog Joined: Nov 13, 2006 Posts: 2923 Age: 23 No.Of Pets: 1 Pet Types: dog, jack russell Karma: 19 Thank Location: Isle Of Mull, West coast Scotland Medals: None 5698 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: fox I looked on Wikepedia and sorry but to tell you the truth i find them ugly ears too big but nice eyes.

That video clip DISGUSTS me.....How could anyone think those beautiful creatures were happy? They looked absolutely terrified of the idiot with the camera and were displaying all the behaviours of cornered, frightened wild animals, while being kept in a tiny room, when they should have had acres of land to roam around..... Just because some idiots in the US have them as "pets", does not make it right. We have enough problems in this country homing and rehoming domestic dogs and cats, without adding wild animals into the equation. If you want to do some good in the world and want a challenge, then look no further than your local Dog Rescue centre....I'm sure they will be able to place with you a terrified, possibly abused dog, that you can love, nurture and train for the better of the dog....Which will be far more rewarding for both you and the dog than caging and trying to tame a truely wild beast. ____________ Jules and the Ark Posted: Sun Jul 08, 2007 7:45 am Beckyess Grooming Expert Joined: Oct 20, 2006 Posts: 535 Age: 38 No.Of Pets: 4 Pet Types: dogs Karma: 11 Thank Location: Somersetshire! Medals: None 1712 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: Have to agree with above post, those poor foxes were not happy at all. They are wild animal not domesticated pets and would probably wreck your house. They are also nocturnal so unless you completely change your habits and be up at night and sleep during the day you will have very little interaction with them. If you want a small dog with large ears why not a Chihuahua?

Please , observe them in their wild habitat, believe me they are far more beautiful there.

Due to the fur farm trade skunks are now classed as domesticated, they make fabs pets and come in many colours, my one was chocolate but she wasn't happy on her own so she went to live with some others.
