Fennec (sand) Foxes
Discussion
I had not realised until earlier but Fennec foxes seem to be quite popular pets in the USA and Japan. They are fascinating little creatures and appear to behave somewhere between a small dog and a cat.
Wondered if anyone knows if there are any people that keep these little things in this country?

very cute looking things BUT s
t every where,outdoor enclosure needed and make sure its totally escape proof, expect to pay around £2000 for one
make sure you have a exotic vet nearby that is prepared to deal with them, feed cat food and high in taurine foods, they also aet vegetables, pikies,locusts etc etc etc

I'd imagine that this would be like trying to look after a wild uk fox with similar challenges, albeit in a smaller and cuter package, and not used to our climate (aren't the big ears for heat management?).Would think this is a bit of a daft idea, in the same way thinking of owning a leopard kitten is a cute idea.
