Episode 1 - The instinct - So you want to own a fox
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 чер 2024
- I am making these videos to show the true facts of owning a fox. This is a collection of Loki misbehaving in the last year and a half. I have seen a LOT of videos that show all of the fun parts of owning a fox and most say they are not easy but I am going to be showing you first hand through my videos what life with a fox looks like. Some parts might be cute but you have to remember that this is going on ALL THE TIME!!! Loki is 100% litter trained but as you see in the video when he steals something he will mark it. He won't just go to the bathroom anywhere.
Foxes are not for everyone, they require a lot of work. So many people want to get a fox after watching Loki interact with us at home but you have to know what you are getting into. So many people get foxes because they are sooo cute when they are small and have no idea what they are getting into and get rid of the fox after 6 months when it starts behaving like this or worse because Loki is now almost 6 years old and we got him at 5 weeks old and when he was 6 months old multiply this by 5. He was a terror which 98% of the people out there would not be able to handle.
I vacuum my house on a daily basis, I mop every week, and do a full cleaning every month. This is the full cleaning I do every month
• Hi speed cleaning
I have had the city and the county at my house and they say they could not smell I have a pet not to mention a fox. This is the other part of owning a fox, if you do not maintain your house it will get filthy quick so you have to stay on top of it on a daily basis.
Hopefully these videos might shed a little more light and help. I am just giving you the facts and what I go and have gone through with Loki!!!
P.S. I love my fox

sorry im late. he proceeded to bite them in half and eat them... now i just aim his mouth at the keyhole and push. works like a charm xD
Boss: “and my ex-wife stole my house but I’m still here”
UnderTheMoonlight lololol
I love how he "laughs" at you when he steals your stuff. He knows exactly what he's doing...
So basically it just roams around looking for the next thing to destroy
Cuz it's not trained or domesticate like he makes it out to seem
Delmo Boneta it’s untrained but it is domesticated it’s part of a study of domesticated Foxes from Russia

I guess its just like living with a fluffy sharp toothed child who will dig holes into your couch while hiding your most prized possessions.
That thing is like a dog with the mind of a cat
and they don't have any control over it, it's like it runs the house.
You are so right.
393Dan ya! Exactly. Well said.
***** I don't understand, Loki is fox, not dog.
***** Does it go Meow instead of Woof Woof?
It’s like having a toddler that can bite your face off
2 years later randomly got a notification someone commented on this. I don’t remember doing this lmao
eehm....cute?

his name is probably swiper
From one fox owner to another, you need to stop following him around yelling. He seems stressed and bored. More toys, outdoor enclosure and in general more enrichment. You're sending him a lot of mixed signals.
Dannii Danger. Agreed
i agree as well, he needs at least durable designated toys that are okay for him to use in place of the bowl/plunger/cell phone and maybe a blanket of his own instead of the couch cover.
Dannii Danger out of interest is this a true representation of what it's like to own a fox then? are they constantly this naughty, peeing everywhere?
this fox seems well loved but unhappy by his body language
I am not a fox owner, so certainly not claiming to have any more knowledge than someone who has experience with foxes. I did just want to point out that the description box says this is a compilation of Loki 'misbehaving' over the last year and a half. So perhaps not a representation of his life all the time, he specifically chose these clips to show the parts that aren't as fun for people who want a fox and don't understand how they are different than a cat or a dog.
I would recommend an outdoor enclosure a big one digging proof and climb proof. If you wanna have a fox, you need money.
I love foxes, but I wouldn't have one, I don't have the patience for that.
And I think he's doing a good job at showing those sides of having a fox to people who just want an exotic pet...
Dogs are the same

I know right thats what im saying jeez let him be a fox lol

-Every fox owner , ever.
As much as I love foxes as an animal, I would never be able to handle to do what you guys do with Loki.
:) :)
Can you do a video on fennec foxes please?
this made me laugh so hard
In most states it is illegal to own fennec foxes. Some states only require a permit that costs around $25 per year.
not where I live

The cuteness though.
Title should be: Red fox outsmarting his owner.
I love how foxes can make noises that sound like laughter especially when Loki had the car keys
Thank you. Raising a fox is not like adopting a NORMAL dog or cat. OR, a child - no matter how adorable.. Like a child, (or pet), this is a lifelong commitment. If you do not have the temperament, the patience, the dedication to adopt a child with ADHD, Down's Syndrome, Asperger's Syndrome, etc., you do not have the fortitude to raise a wild animal. Captive-bred Loki is living the best life possible for a "domesticated" fox and we all enjoy watching him. But, his Daddy's life and household revolve around Loki who does give back to his Daddy all the love he can - being a wild animal. But, this ain't cheap. In time or money. So............ for those of you who can't do what Loki's Daddy is doing but still say "I want a fox," think about what you can REALLY do for the animals, either wild or domesticated, who need you - donation of time or money. Sorry. Rant over. I've just seen too much "I want" over "they need" and I go off the deep end. I'll shut up now...............
Pls, your advice is worthwhile & I'm sure you had more information to provide. There is much worry among the responsibility. I've indicated this wisdom & warnings could apply to many dog breeds that people consider but then become overwhelmed or disappointed & tragically abandon.
Don Sexton: YES!!! For example, my daughter is owned by a Shiba Inu. Cutest dog in the world & I love her to death but, if you think that you are getting a dog with a temperament of a lab or a poodle, forget about it. IF you do your research, you will be informed that Shiba Inus aren't a good fit for novice dog owners but so many people think "hey, I've had dogs before" and go for the "cute factor." Hence, the Shiba Inu rescue sites with babies in need before they reach the age of two. What Loki's Daddy is doing is fantastic - rescue from a pet store who (for profit) rescued from a "fur trader" but it is the "I want" factor that concerns me. Just because "you want" and that you can afford, doesn't mean that "you should."
sickof stupidppl Shiba Inu is among my favorite breeds along with Akita. Aren't they mellow, dignified, & as energetic as you want but adaptable? Was "Hachiko" any influence on your choice? I can't remember if he was a Shiba or Akita, even though I actually saw the memorial at Shibuya. My sister has an Akita, he's massive but extremely gentle. When I visit, Roman's always willing for roaming with me.
Hachiko was an Akita (one of only 30 purebred Akitas at the time) but I believe that a Shiba puppy was used at the beginning of the movie with Richard Gere. My daughter has never seen the movie so it had no influence on her choice. I don't know much about Akitas but my daughter did her RESEARCH on Shiba Inus and found that Bentley (my grand-dogger) would fit her personality and life-style. Mellow? When she wants to be. (Ever hear a Shiba Scream?) Dignified? Much like a cat. (Can have a F-U personality.) Energetic? An off-leash Shiba is the precursor to a "Lost Dog" poster. Like Loki, any animal has to be respected for the animal that it is - not what you want it to be. Excuse me, did I say RESEARCH loud enough for everybody?
sickof stupidppl My direct experience with an Akita was with Roman, but I did not live with him all the time although those character qualities I indicated applied to him. I had a distant friend in Japan that had a Shiba pup, but I did not get to see it mature. Yes, the RESEARCH is available via the www so people are fortunate for that.
"I just fixed that!"
*Fox slowly smiles*
No you do not get the bowl!! Next scene: has the bowl.
Loki is like a defiant teenager
Or a teething toddler
That's one big fox to be a toddler
same thing
Or a wild fox?
he definately needs a ton of toys to play with
too much nooooo!! toys toys he needs
All I saw was him either being a bad fox owner or doing dumb things for publicity. You'd think he's keep his keys/phone stashed, and not do things like put pizza on the counter edge! Using words like no and stop so many times without enforcing it also doesn't help. That latter part depends on the fox itself, some are somewhat trainable, others aren't.
Even for a dog (which I imagine are much more compliant) he's an abominable trainer. Animals learn by associating actions with consequences, and stern words aren't consequences.
lol God forbid someone raises a pet in the way they enjoy and not how you demand it must be..
***** Amen, that's what I said about Dahmers dog, but no one listened.
Jess Vagnar shows what you know bitch, Fox's only learn from positive reinforcement NOT violent physical discipline, do some research before you advocate, "teaching a fox a lesson".
***** He can "train" his fox however he chooses, I have no problem with that. The consequences are on him.
I do, however, have a problem with him presenting himself as an example of how to train an animal, because now his bad example is going to wind up screwing over other peoples' homes and pets.
He went to the bathroom on your couch than laughed at you
The ultimate power move
Me: *Sees this video in recommendations*
Title: "So you want to own a fox"
Me: I guess I do now
*Shits on arcade*
Nahh nevermind.
THIS IS A PET HUMAN OWNED BY A FOX, IN MY LAND WE CALL THIS "CALZONAZOS"
LOL
So it's like having a cross between a brain damaged cat and a brain damaged dog?
Colin McGreevy 😂😂
Fox is a wild creature by nature, everything that you see in this video is a natural behavior for this kind of animal. Calling it "brain damage" is simply stupid, this material only shows how much intelligent they actually are. You clearly know nothing, so stop writing nonsense.
Instead of assuming I was calling the animal itself brain damaged, how about you take it as me making the best analogy I could at the moment. Y'know, instead of the name calling you try not to be offended? Heck, you haven't even met me, it's weird how you somehow know that I "clearly know nothing"
@Alnairth its called a sense of humor, now go find one
Colin McGreevy +jonbeingjon lol ok bruh whatever you say ;P
Foxes live underground so they will dig up your carpet. If you want a fox build them a burrow in your garden.
Just dont use carpet what is so difficult ,when u has animal u cant have also expensive furniture .sometimes even castrated dogs can mark if u dont spray the furniture or carpet
i love foxes but how could you do anything ever. like your life will revolve around that little dog cat
sounds just like having a human child🙄
@@johnhines4081 ya know what that's a fair assessment
I wanted a fox as a pet, but I'm good on that now lol.
I could think of worse fates.
Seems more like an outdoor pet to me, You'd have to fox-proof your yard though.
"Swiper no swiping!"
So it's like having a hyperactive toddler that can dig holes, and jump really high and are hard to find, got it.
And he can bite hard.
Foxes can but Loki is trained. He doesn't hurt his owner
Noel mentioned having to get stitches before. Loki is careful when he wants to be, but when he's upset...
That is a perfect description of Loki and a fox overall, he has gotten me to where I had to stitch myself up.. it was putting on the harness he got me with his back teeth and I had a nice gash on my hand. He did not do it out of anger he was trying to get my hand off of him, which worked by the way lol :) :)
Oh yeah I forgot he would get violent. You said he was doing a bit better with the outside however didn't you? Sorry haven't watched videos in a few weeks but have you tried harnesses that clip on? Seems easier than sliding it over his head. Still wish ya luck with not getting hurt too bad while doing this.
Also Loki is the most adorable creature I've ever seen.
Just saying.
*you know I can still see you right*?
*Mmmm no you cant cause I can't see you*
So cute x
SO THAT'S WHAT THE FOX SOUNDS LIKE!
that should answer their question
I'm so happy he has you, if he is from a fur farm he would never have survived in the wild. People should read your FAQ before commenting.
thanks for that comment

Social Justice Warrior
Social Justice Warrior You're so sweet,all animals at one time were wildlife until humans wanted either company or protection or to hunt with. I've had several snakes over the past 30 years. I have a painted turtle now that I rescued. I grew up in the country and have had geese for pets and also two raccoons from birth, unfortunately their Momma was killed by a car. I had one for 8years the other for 11. The vet. would stop by about once a week to see my Pop he'd also give them shots and vaccinate them. They both loved everyone and they only went in a giant cage at night to protect them. I took them to school several times and let them walk around our class rooms. I forgot I also had a crow that my uncle caught in a muskrat trap. It had a broken wing, after about 9 months or so he could fly again after eating good and having his wing doctored up. Humans dominant over every other animal and mammal. I actually saw people crying in front of a slaughtering market, hundreds were protesting violently and some were trying to feed and water the animals on the trucks coming in. I guess they wanted to fatten them up for slaughtering. It's funny how some people protest anything they don't agree with.
Sovereignless Soul
But.. that takes effort and some level of reading comprehension skill!! 😭
Cute, but looks like a pain in the ass! I'll stick with my Pit Bull
tonyinfinity i rather stick with my doberman bit pits are very cute
I'll stick with my mongrel
Foxes are not a pain in the ass - they were just never designed to be indoors in domesticated settings. They are nocturnal, run around for miles at night, sniffing things and hunting and they like to dig holes and to be in the dark. In more recent times, they come out during the day, especially in cities where there are a lot of food temptations.
bon bon which makes them a pain in the ass for most. This guy seems to have a ton of Patience and perseverance.
KristenGibson_CanadianGirl He know what he's doing for sure
Absolutely facinating. Really, this is amazing. Keep up your good work, and huge kudos to you for your patience and understanding with Loki!
Yea it looks like a full time job owning one
unless you have an area outside for them
But it looks fun af
THANK YOU for educating the public. Loki is cute but as you explain, he is constantly on the go, gets into everything, will damage doors, walls, refrigerators (with pizza) and anything else. Almost limitless curiosity & energy that only stops for occasional, short naps. Loki is very fortunate & in good hands. Again, thank you for showing that having a fox is a constant commitment, one that probably never allows for TV breaks & is not for everyone.
I am very glad you are responsible enough to care for Loki. Most people can't do that, and you make him very happy and loved. :) He does make things interesting.
Thank you... and yes my life is 80% more interesting with him in my life :)
Thank you for making this video. As cute as Loki is, the responsibility needed is huge and we only saw a small part of it.
After working with toddlers for years I knew what was gonna happen with that pizza when you opened the fridge😉
Going to get me a slice jumps and grabs pizza
Foxes are far more better than children
I just found one on the road hit, I thought she was dead but then she lifted up her head, so I stopped and put my coat over her and put her in the car, it looked serious and her left eye was red and eye lid cut. My vet is helping me because where I live in the countryside there are no rescue places, so since I have some good knowledge of wild animals I am taking care of her. I thought she was going to die, but everyday she's getting better although blind in one eye. I'm so glad that I passed by that road otherwise she certainly would have died. We have allot of foxes and boar around here and I actually feed a bigger fox by a creek and I have filmed him with my trailcam.. This one I found hit on the road is probably about 6 months. 🦊I can pet
her, seems very calm and eats from a spoon, I am giving her baby food for now until she heals. Love your channel 👍👍
Go Pro Rottweilers Very nice of you too save her life!!! Put her back as soon as you can so she can remain wild or your life will look like the guy in this video......
@@kathytegler6913 I already let her free in the forest by my home, I miss her so very much, but she was ready to be freed❤️🦊
That is just amazing! :) 🦊
Like having a combo of a cat and dog in one. I can see why Native Americans used foxes as pranksters in stories.
I feel like Loki only annoys him cuz he thinks it's funny evertime he says "no".
WatchTheBestStuff Hd I feel like he's annoying loki lol
It's like a two year old with a parent that just says no but let's him do whatever anyways...who's the parent? Lol
+flamingpie herman that is what I thought. A father with a kid with no discipline, he just say "no" but, don't teach or discipline the fox.
solosage I literally said the same thing
cybryana02 But Loki is not a child... he's a fox. How can you "discipline" an animal that's wild by nature?
Certain traits are a result of their animal instincts, that won't ever change. Besides I'm sure he understands that, which is why he just says "no" to Loki. I think Loki is still trained to an extent, to be able to actually live in a house.
"I love you" as he wipes a shitty plunger all over your things
Loki should probably live outside in a fenced enclosure so he doesn't eat anything dangerous around the house, and I think he can be clicker trained! would probably help you out a lot
"Sorry boss. I can't come in today. A fox stole my keys."
Beautiful fox ! But this looks like a realy hard piece of life together. You must be heavenly patient people.
SchattendragonflyPL you have to have so much patience!!!
Loki the Red Fox did it ever bite you
Loki the Red Fox loki is so adorable!!!! fox are my favorite animals, they are so cool and sly and hilarious! of course I have chickens and I could never be able to own a fox! This looks like a handful! good luck!
yeah, chasing around the fox that wants to be left alone and harassing it
Just changed my mind about owning a fox lol. A lovely headache.
My 7 year old daughter looooooves Loki! Her favorite animal since she was an infant. She has a stuffed animal she named "Foxy"💛🐺 Thanks for posing. Really brought joy and laugher to her little heart!😊👍🏽
After watching this, I dont think you could get a poodle to mind you. You do not have any authority in your voice, or body language, not repetitive, or firm, simple commands. You know that Fox would bite the hand that feeds it in a heartbeat.
Frances Fox you are so right
I am even more concerned about the fact that this fox doesn't have a proper space to play or maybe a garden to be outside from time to time?i feel sorry for the fox
Valentina Moro They saved this fox because it could not be set free. Would you rather it have died and have no need for space at all?
Jessie Garner seems that nobody here understands that Animal Sanctuaries exist , places for rescued animals, where they are taken care , can have space to run and meet others from their species...This does not mean to "set him free " but i think it would have been a less selfish choice from the owner.
+Jessie Garner Actually I'm fine with domesticated foxes, but it's true they are outdoor animals. The fox needs to have an outdoor enclosure. if you don't live on a couple acre property where you could provide a fenced in area for the fox, you probably shouldn't own a fox.
I feel like Loki doesn't give a damn what you say. Seems like he doesn't respond in any way :D
Mulchmann36 well he can't, foxes have never been trained to respond to commands like "give that back" and "stop it" like dogs have, so Loki wouldn't be able to just pick it up, it's not in his genes
Platinumoneybags That´s not what I meant. I meant that he doesn´t respond in any way. Cats are also almost impossible to train but they react to the tuning of your voice. Just like birds.
Yeah, kinda annoys me that there is no clear leader in their house. As a predator, they always answer to the stronger ones (or die trying to become said stronger one). But here it's being treated as a vegetable instead of what it really is
Foxes are solitary not pack animals like wolves. It's always fascinating how people will give advice even when it's obvious they know damn near nothing about the subject they choose to expound on. Seems to me that Loki is a hell of a lot better off with this gentleman than as the fur coat he was bred to be.
David Turner Does anyone know how to build that thing where it had like 7 kennels together
Loki scrambling away with the plunger sent me. I'm laughing
You really risk your fingers every day Lmaoooo
Can I just ask all of you with hateful comments to knock it off!!!????!!! Loki is a rescue! If not for Noel, Loki would be a peice of clothing! Loki never was, and isn't wild. He's never lived like a normal fox. Yes, he still has his natural instincts, but this is nothing compared to any other fox you could have as a pet. And why would you want as a pet, yes they are adorable and I love them too, but they aren't domesticated. Again: LOKI IS A RESCUE! So no, he is mot suffering, no he can't be released, no it's not torture, yes he is happy. Loki is in a fine condition and loves his owner!
Don't you people ever learn? There's a reason he is keeping him in captivity, and it's only what's best for him.
I hate when people say this. Animals has an innate nature to survive in their natural habitat! It's how they were built. Even if he's never been in the wild before, he has the INSTINCT to adjust and adapt to being in the wild because that's what they were built and made to do! People use any excuse outside of terminal illness to have an animal captive. He belongs in the wild!
This comment indicates that you do not know anything about animal behavior. Read Jen's comment. Have you never wondered why animals need mothers in the first place? It is not just because they are too little to hunt, as many animals are not carnivorous, yet they still undergo a rearing process. This is partly because many animals have to be taught to find food/hunt. Instinct does not tell them what is poisonous for instance. I think you are misunderstanding the concept of instinct, and how it works in various animals. And then there is the fact that instinct does not always have the upper hand. Look at humans, where our social constructs, our reasoning ability, etc., overpower our instincts every day. The entire concept of something like marriage is completely contrary to instinct. But I'm getting off the point. Have you not considered the fact that re-introduction programs take time, and that animals who were raised in captivity are rarely just released into the wild to fend for themselves? Given the prevalence of programming on channels like Discovery, Natgeo, etc., this is probably common knowledge, or at least should be for someone who thinks they know enough to berate others about this particular topic. My point is that the fact that these are structured programs, as opposed to an affair that you knock out in an hour by backing up a cage up to the local woods, as there are many things that must usually come before that. Given your assessment, all of the countless years of experience in the field, as well as academically, learning about things like biology, ecology, zoology, amongst the thousands of individuals in these fields, must be incorrect, and it must be a load off their minds to learn that none of that is necessary. Just throw the animals in the wild. Instinct will take care of them. /sarcasm. And look, it is nothing personal against you. The reason that I get annoyed at opinions like yours is because there are people who will assume you know what you are talking about, and will act on your advice; advice which is just generally wrong. So people need to stop and think about how they might be hurting animals by giving false information, because there are people who will act on it.

I like the fox, but don't like the captor! The habitat that this captor is providing for the fox is a nightmare! The inadequate nutrition and improper enrichment that is being endured by this fox is saddening :(
Brilliant, insatiable curiosity and hilarious! You must have the patience of a saint! LMAO
Foxes Are MY Life !!!!!

My favorite animal is a wolf but the fox is very very very cuteee 😍😄

I love to skin foxes
@@hunterstanley7001 oof
I love foxes
The reason Loki acts this way is because your tone too discipline is the same tone for rewarding? He has ZERO boundaries......
whitefang1905 ikr he's a dweeb that was lucky to get a wild animal as a pet
Yes!
true, animals dont understand english. They use tones to differentiate what your saying. if you say good and bad in the same tone it will consider it the same thing and do what it wants.
Not only tones, but also body language and physical touching. This guy doesn't seem aggressive enough to keep the fox in check, and a fox needs a lot of discipline.
Babs Boogie It’s domesticated.
The first few minutes I watched this video, I was also like "Oh my god, I want a fox! It's so cute!". ... I still think so BUT you really have to take MUCH responsibility and patience to raise one. Not to mention the money you have so save to make a comfortable home for a fox.
Foxes are wild and playful individual animals which can be cute of course, but in the video you can see what kind of mess a fox can do which is actually bad for the animal (like chewing and try swallowing the roll of tape)
In my mind, I'd love to own a fox, but in reality, I'd be very insecure to do so...
IgirisuChan If you want a fox, buy a domesticated fox. This is a wild fox
IgirisuChan just treat Abby fox like an actual dog, become the dominant individual
IgirisuChan when it comes to things being chewed and swallowed (and no i do not own a fox, i kinda want to but these are just ideas im pitching) you could try keeping things in cabinets or above jumping reach. as for the animal being able to get a door ir cabinet open, there are an array of childproofing devices out there that can be used for keeping door and cabinets from being easily opened. by using some of these, the risk of nonedibles becoming edibles becomes greatly reduced as the fox would have less access to nonedible items. as for things like food being stolen, well, just put the food farther back on the counter or closer to your person so the fox cant take it nearly as easily.
Hilarious and absolutely adorable. So glad that I subscribed
Loki is absolutely beautiful ❤ What a handful !
A fox + carpet would probably be an impossible combination..
As someone who once wanted a fox, thanks for making this
dear god hes so cute 😍😍😍
What a handful! His lil noises tho! 😍🦊
so a fox basically act's like a cat but in a dog looking body haha
I'd say the average cat is better behaved than that, certainly not as skittish since cats are usually fairly 'lazy' creatures. Dog's are more likely to steal and chew on things they aren't meant too although that can usually be weeded out through training. Can't say I've ever witnessed a cat stealing car keys.
when you look at it from that point of view my previous comment is slacking on logic I'll choke it up to being tired haha
I know he must be a pain in the ass but dammit I can't help it!! He's so cute!
Definitely this is the cutest video I have ever seen in 2019
O my GAWD☺😯😮😳😍she is SOOOOOOO FRIKING CUTE
Living with that dude constantly saying "no" would be more annoying than dealing with the fox...
NO doubt! ;) Grrrrr.
So agree! Lol
Totally, it's painful to watch, tuning out now. ..
True. Like the fox doesn't understand. He might hear the anger, but the fox's instincts are to dig and bite and chew. Leave him with the wild foxes
Shut up J Williams.
I don't think Loki is so happy as his owner. I wonder if Loki would like to forget about you.
well keep wondering because you probably won't find out anytime soon
The noises he made when he was trying to eat the tag was soooooooo adorable
He is so mischievious i love it
All this video really showed was how the fox hadn't taken to living in a small house, it isn't trained and foxes should just remain in the wild
ReaperGrim do you know anything about the history of this fox?
nope is there something particularly game changing I should know
He saved Loki (name of the fox) from a fur farm that had been breeding them in captivity for an extremely long time, therefore Loki had a very slim chance of surviving in the wild. And being kept in captivity is better than slowly dying in the wild or being turned into a fur coat.
Foxes actually live longer in captivity than in the wild anyway but yes, one can argue that's just how nature goes. But in this situation, I think taking Loki in was the right thing to do.
It is understandable that at first the fox would have not survived I have seen urban foxes dumped in the wild many times and starve to death but it is also possible for foxes to learn hunt from people so that they can be released again because all foxes are natural killers and dogs are just as capable of doing the same thing once they learn how to hunt they will live feral if they get lost because they know how to
ReaperGrim
Loki comes from a family kept in captivity for over 9 generations (according to the uploader) so I think it's safe to say that he wouldn't have a chance.
Even wild foxes have a very slim chance of survival in the wild, with a lot of them not surviving more than a year, so how long do you think Loki (an animal which is from a breed kept in captivity for 9 generations) would last?
Beautiful Loki! That sweet face and naughtiness, lol! So many great memories. XX ❤🦊
Hello nice lady living on the other side of the pond!
LTRF-4-EVER!!!
We love our pet foxes! How to raise foxes - watch our cuties Gaia and Inali - ua-cam.com/video/HV2hq4rBRYI/v-deo.html comment please :)
That fox has a super energetic mind. I think you should build an obstacle course in a room for him and have camera's at certain parts to show off what he's doing. Lots of energy that he wants to get out
I love your fox, he is the cutest thing in the world and him trying to bury himself in the couch was adorable I'm glad that you can have a fox and enjoy his company
It's like having a very, very mobile toddler.
With teeth.
SOO cute this is my new fav channel subscribing!!!!!!
Fox soup anyone..... that’s all I’d be thinking after the arcade episode! Man you have a special gift dealing with all that noise!
Really sad to see a fox instide all the time. If the owner loves it as he says, he should have rented a space with a garden to let it enjoy nature. It is an unfortunate wild animal deprived of its habitat. Very depressing...
We live in florida, it is 96+ degrees F. 11 months out of the year
Well, Loki as a Fox can deside if he likes it ouside himself. I think he should get an opion. Even one hour early in the morning or late at night when temperatures are lower outside can do wonders - Loki can smell all the beautifull odeurs of plants and flowers, enjoy looking and birds and digging the ground. According to statistic from Ocotber to April temperatures are comfortable in Florida: 75F° -66F°-...72F°. I hope that he will enlarge his universe soon, coming in direct contact with nature:) Good luck to Loki!
and here we have another person defending the rights of animals even though she dosen't understand the animals at all
Searay Agustin thats a part of what I was saying. see she did have a point about foxes needong a space to run around but her argument was sloppy and she diden't acualy know where they lived not to mention the demestication program that started 80 YEARS AGO!!! but thats not even the main problem the broblem is when she was told where they live and why the fox can't go out side she neglantly insisted the fox could go outside
Well, according to the US official statistics it is not like in an oven in Florida all year round. There are periods of lesser heat, comparable to summer time in the Northern States, where foxes habitat is. So it is a matter of accepting the fact, that inhaling smells of fresh wind is more attractive to fox that odours of soap and other cleaning detergents inside the tidy place. I feel sorry for the fox, because even prisoners have a chance for a walk in fresh air. But this poor chap is doomed to sit inside his entire existence, deprived of joy meeting nature he belongs to.
He just wants to be outside and being inside all day is driving him insane...
David Razberry I'm sure he takes him out
Marissa Leos I hope so, but he still seems dissatisfied.
they act like this outside aswell , foxes are just naturally ADD
What else did he tell you?
David Razberry he actually hates going outside
It must be a really heavy duty on a daily basis; but the reward you get is worth all your efforts on my point of view .
Such a noble & clever -> cute buddy’s trust and friendship, has more value than anything else!
The instinct shows up that she’s everything but not a dog
Enkigeneticien JeSuisPasDaccord trust and friendship? Where. This thing just bites and runs wild. Bet it cant go outside as it just run off.
Swiper no swiping!
the fox is bored he needs a task to do.
It's hilarious how people in UA-cam comments think they know more about a topic or thing than a person who has dealt with that topic or thing personally and has experience.
If you really think you know what's good or bad for a fox, why don't you own one? And if you do, where's your guide? You're obviously so entitled as to tell what someone should and shouldn't do that your ego is big enough to make a simple PSA like this video.
Fully agreed.
You make it sound like people can't speculate on experiences they have gained by watching others. So no one who has directly experienced stuff can weigh in on any discussion .. you know how moronic that sounds?
***** That's not what I'm saying at all. I'm saying people who act like experts on a topic and who 'know what's best' for a fox or say the owner 'isn't doing it right' have no base for discussion. They're not 'discussing' anything. They're making baseless claims on how to 'correctly' own a fox when their 'experience' isn't backed up by anything credible.
***** "credible" Thats a nice word to try and set someone up on a high horse. There are books and even other owners in animal the forums who can give you real time information on how to tame animals right? So are those not credible sources?
***** So I'm going to find those credible sources of information in these UA-cam comments.
Definitely.
100%.
Hats off to how patient you are with the fox!
Even better. The more I watch your videos the more I can prepare to have my pet fox.
soooo the moral of episode 1 is that foxes do what they want I'm guessing?
yes lol... but this is only showing a lot of bad sadly... a fox has its ups/downs
Seems basically like a cat and a dog put together
Does he have toys and stuff?
vincent trigg really?
cats and dog will play and cuddle with you. Dogs and cats learn right from wrong.
vincent trigg you guessed perfectly they are kind of the cat dog mix, same pool as hyenas and badgers
Sure he has toys, the apartment
I link this video every time someone posts cute fox videos and people are like OMG SO CUTE IM GONNA BUY ONE
Loki the Red Fox:
"I do not recommend a fox as a pet"
me: Perfect, I am gonna get one when i go to college
