The fox has become increasingly popular with many people wanting the wild animal as a pet.
This fox’s name is Ron. His owner bought him from an exotic animal breeder in Oklahoma where he was hand raised. He was brought back to a loving home in Arkansas where you can see he has plenty of free space and unconditional love.
The fox has plenty of energy, possibly more than a puppy, and is just as cuddly as a kitten; a fox is like a perfect combination of the two.
It’s important to note that Ron is not a domesticated animal but a very well trained and tamed animal.
Domestication is where man plays a direct part in the physical, mental, and behavioral manipulation of a species. A common indicator of a domesticated animal are floppy ears or curled tails, like you’d see on dogs or pigs.
Taming is when an animal is subdued or adapted to human control.
So before you decide to go out there and get a fox of your own, don’t. Make sure you go to a certified breeder. It’s also important to discover if your state allows a permit for such creatures or not.
