Do You Want To Own A Fennec Fox?

  • For months people have been asking me to do a video about fennec foxes. Since they were still considered an Exotic pet at the time of this video, I have always been hesitant to make this because not everyone should own one. I am in no way advocating that you go out and get one if you have no experience with these animals, however, if you're going to ignore me and do it anyway, at least take my words into consideration and do as much research as you can before bringing one into your house.
    This is NOT a dog or a cat so you cannot treat it like one. If you expect a pet that will cuddle with you all day and one that you can bring out for walks or out in public, this is not that kind of pet. Owning a fennec fox is best for someone who has the money to properly give them what they need, and prior experience so that you understand their mannerisms. Fennec Foxes can scream VERY loud, so do not get one if you live in an apartment or you will get complaints.
    I will make a second part to this video soon, please forgive me for any mistakes or how I may look in this video, It was VERY early in the morning when I shot this. lol.
    I may not know EVERYTHING about exotic pets and foxes in general, but I do have about 20 years hands-on experience working with these types of pets so please at least take my words into consideration before doing something stupid that can put you or a fox in harms way.
    If you've never worked with foxes before, do that first to see if you really want one in your home. Join some of the fox groups on Facebook, Find Sanctuaries in your area or in driving distance, meet people on there who may live near you and see if you're able to go meet the fox in person. Ask them about the downsides, and their daily routines. Ask them how much money they spend yearly or monthly on the fox, find out if there are exotic pet vets in your area... all of this will help you decide. Remember too, when you travel, you'll need someone who is capable of caring for this pet.... the list goes on of things people normally don't think of before getting a pet like this...

    To everyone complaining about him owning a fennec fox: He's mentioned in one of the comments on this video that his fox is domesticated. According to him, Scout has always been with him, never in the wild. One of his comments says, "Scout comes from a line of over 20 years of captive fennecs." If that's true, Scout wouldn't survive in the wild. He's not going to set Scout free because it's, "wrong," to have him. He's said that not everyone should have a pet fox. He's not being cruel. He knows what he's doing.

      Fennec Foxes as Pets. ... Fennec foxes can be kept as pets, although they are not very common. They are petite, save for their enormous ears. They behave much like dogs, but since they are not domesticated, they do require careful socialization as well as precautions against escape.

    • @TheRichzombie

      Anon ymous but it's not a typo. I've seen too many people write alot. and this is UA-cam not college level english. I could not care less If I capitalized or not. at least I know all my words are actually words instead of this new language created by online commoners.

      @batlesbian 7 років тому +2

      Lorena Bonita as I understand it, foxes are closer to dogs and evolved to benefit in a space where cats would benefit (so if you really wanted to over simplify it "a dog type evolving to be like a cat") and hyenas are close to cats and evolve to take the place of a dog
      I mean this could be misinformation and I definitely simplified it a lot but yeah I thought it was pretty cool

    Ever since I was able to meet and hold a fennec at a college event, my love for these small animals has only grown over the years. I still remember the little guy was so calm despite the heavy crowds, and eventually just climbed into the hood of my jacket and fell asleep. I was actually kinda heart broken when I had to ask one of the people who'd brought all the animals to remove him from my hood because I had classes.
    Videos like this are quite useful for learning more about what they are like in a domestic setting. Perhaps someday, I'll make the attempt to finally adopt one. But for now, I should stick to having a couple plushies and doing my research about them.

    I have no issues with wild animals living in homes as long as they get everything that they need and that the people who own them understand them as much as possible. I accidentally owned a wolf in my late teens and twenties. I was looking for a dog as a single young woman who live next to a rowdy bar and felt the need for protection at closing times! UGH such memories. I went to a humane society and explained my need and why I had such a need. The man said have I got the dog for you ! When I took my "dog " to the vet for shots the Vet was very concerned that my dog was a actual wolf! But he did immunize him and off I went. The learning curve was steep and very fast. But I did afford and learn to care for my guy. He was one of the best pets I have ever had. This was way back in the 1970's. I'm now 61 and I'm so very glad that I had Sammy my wolf in my life. At this point I have three poodles a Hissing cockroach and a Rough Green 🐍 snake. It's about all that I can handle financially at this point.

    • @deniseemond9263
      @deniseemond9263 6 років тому +3

      J purple ramen he had been previously owned so much command training was done. But it seriously depended on Sams mood as to if Sam wanted to listen or not. Also , I never could get Sam to understand that smaller animals ( like neighbors cats and smaller dogs) were not meals. He did fine with my boyfriends female Irish Setter but male dogs weren't acceptable to San as anything more than a snack. Sam had to be walked on a lead to toilet. He could not be tied out. He would go insane. So Sam was indoors with me or walking on a lead with me. He was a wonderful ,smart animal but he was a lot of work and also challenging to be responsible for. But I totally enjoyed him.

For god sake you see him cuddling the lil dude, and he was whispering for scout.Hes been breed to be a pet. This is all he knows. And yes he does have instincts so he lets him out, he lets him hunt and be a little wild inside. 💝

    I know this is an old(ish) video, but I have to say, I love how passionate you are about animals because everyone else I've met, just isn't bothered. I genuinely get so upset when I see people wearing real fur, or them horrible videos of animals being treated very poorly. I suffer from depression with anxiety and I can't work in a job that is customer based, I'd much prefer to work with animals as I'm a massive animal lover. I have worked on a farm, caring for rare breeds and I loved it. unfortunately, I was made redundant and I'm now jobless. however, I do hope to find the right job for me in the future :)
    Take care :)

      good person and helping them... Good luck in your search for the

She just recently began writing her own music again and I'm helping her so we can put a full CD together. you can hear her singing here if you haven't: ua-cam.com/video/HlCDSK7IIOM/v-deo.html
      My point is, she kinda regretted giving it up for so long, you should keep doing it if you enjoy it and eventually you can make a career out of that!

      It is something that I would love a career in, but I just feel that I'm not good enough, there's way too much competition out there! If you two ever travel to the UK, I'd love to have a jam with Mel 😅 her voice is so good, so unique :) Please, make sure she keeps doing what she's doing!

I would love to be able to educate people more into why these types of pets should be in the care of people who actually take the time to not only research, but to step back and realize whether or not they are really ready for an animal like this... I just see all the bad things that happen to them when they go to the wrong homes. I've been doing this over 20yrs and at this point, i just hope i can make some sort of impact by warning others early on.

    It's annoying to see that people only want a pet fox because of how cute or cool it'll be to show off. Honestly, it's nothing like a house pet, it's a wild animal, it takes a lot more effort and experience to actually own one of these and you better be ready for when it will most likely run off in the future. Think before getting a pet please and make sure you have what it takes.

    • @TheDro
      @TheDro  6 років тому +1

      thanks. I do agree with you on that. I think very few people should own exotic pets. I never see people actually get experience before going out and getting an animal they know nothing about. I hope to help change that for some.

    • @memz5220
      @memz5220 6 років тому

      Some people get exotic animals not really thinking about their need, they buy them thinking they are cool.
      I’ve never owned an exotic animal but I plan on owning a Fox in the future.
      People need to take the time and do the research on how to take care of them before they do anything.

      You don't want to own a fox? They're cute and are basically the gingers of dogs, the only downside is that god awful screaming they do sometimes.

    • @memz5220
      @memz5220 6 років тому +1

      I’ve always loved foxes I guess
      I enjoy learning about them
      Foxes have always been my favorite animal and when I learned your able to have them as pets I started doing all the research I could on how to take care of them
      What kind of enclosures you need
      Their diets
      How to get them and all the regulations and stuff
      The closets I have been to encountering a Fox is it the two that show up outside my house every once and a while and scream at each other. Also when one got hit by a car we got to take it to a vet then to a nature sanctuary.
      Foxes are frequent visitors in my neighborhood since I live near the woods, I enjoy watching them walk around my yard and watching the pups grow up.
      My plans on getting a Fox May never come true but I’m still doing research.
      I don’t want to just get a Fox to look cool
      I want to get one to take care of, to love and to have as an actual pet.
      I’d never dream of getting an exotic pet just to gain fame and popularity.

    I wanted to own a Fennec fox but after watching this video? I can see how I will have to wait until I am much older and ready to settle down more. I don't want to get an animal that is going to feel uncomfortable in my home and is spooked. I'll wait until I have the perfect environment for one and then we'll see one day. Maybe. :) Either way, congratulations on owning such an amazing animal. He's beautiful. Absolutely beautiful and you are doing such an amazing job with your furry family. One day I will build a room specifically for a fennec when I am much older, retired, and ready for something like that. For now, I will stick to my reptiles.

    @cojo9656 6 років тому +2

    Thank you so much for making this video! Several of my friends have been going on and on about how they are GOING to get a fennec fox, and I've been trying to tell them that, no, it's not just go buy one like a cat or dog, that this is a whole different undertaking. Because, heck, I've wanted one for literally about ten years, and I CAN get one, but it's a matter of whether I SHOULD. Too many people go and get these exotic pets because "oh, it's a cute little fox! Look at the big ears! They're so funny, they run around like mad!" But they also scream all the time when young. Thank you for making this, because I've seen far, far too many cases of people getting exotic pets, realizing they can't handle it, and either just letting the poor thing go into the wild or giving it up, which is pretty darn hard to do in reality.
    I will be sharing this with my friends who are so adamant on getting a fennec.

  • @Youtubeiscool865
    @Youtubeiscool865 3 роки тому +10

    I have one and he never wants to leave my side. Every youtuber I see talks about how they don't like being kept and what not. Maybe I got a unique personality fox. Idk, but he can't get enough of me. I take him everywhere, he even uses a litter box.

    • @TheDro
      @TheDro  3 роки тому +3

      when I got my fennec fox, it was over 15 years ago. I can definitely say that fennecs and other species of pet foxes have come a long way since then due to selective breeding but I can guarantee that they will not use litter box 100% of the time and fennecs do not do as well in homes as some other foxes can. especially if they are being kept in a cage or small enclosure. There's a lot more to this but I would love to see this behavior with your fox, do you have videos you can link? Also, is your fox still a kit? If so, this could be why. as they get older things do change once their instincts come in more.

    • @Youtubeiscool865
      @Youtubeiscool865 3 роки тому +2

      He is a kit, yeah. He acts like I'm his parent. He can't even sleep unless he's ontop of me. Unfortunately I don't have videos, or I'd make a UA-cam like you. There is a farm here in TN that sells "exotic" animals like that. Luckily they take great care of them. Racoons, wolf hybrids, foxes, squirrels, etc etc. I had a red fox before, but he didn't like too much attention. I let him run around in my back yard and I guess he become more "wild"

    Awwww, I used to own a pet fox once, I still have videos of him on youtube, I know how hard it is to care about one, especially the amount of time they need, I had to switch to nocturnal, to be awake at the same time as him, then the right food is not easy to get and I had to walk him so often, and the smell is also a thing, but I handled it quite well. Too bad he died at the end, by an accident, but I was really happy I could have him (saved from fur farm) I considered getting a fennec fox, but I am not sure I want to, they are really adorable and I would be able to handle them, but my reason for not having a fox now would be my time schedule and my money ^^; I really love foxes though, they are beautiful animals
