Fennec FOX?

Question

can any one please list any information on the breed. i live in Louisiana and its legal to own them here, can anyone just give me any direction in which i can find a breeder or any helpful advise? thanks.

Answer 1

Although they are legal to keep in many states,I wouldn't advise getting one,as they are wild animals and belong in the desert where they came from.They are such pretty little things. If you are determined to get one,though,Google "Fennec fox care" and "Fennec fox breeders." You have the entire Internet right in front of you.

Answer 2

The fennec fox is the smallest of all the world's foxes, but its large ears, measuring 6 inches (15 centimeters), appear to be on loan from a bigger relative.

Fennec foxes dwell in the sandy Sahara Desert and elsewhere in North Africa. Their nocturnal habits help them deal with the searing heat of the desert environment, and some physical adaptations help as well.

Their distinctive, batlike ears radiate body heat and help keep the foxes cool. They also have long, thick hair that insulates them during cold nights and protects them from hot sun during the day. Even the fox's feet are hairy, which helps them perform like snowshoes and protects Type: Mammal

Size: Head and body, 9.5 to 16 in (24 to 41 cm); Tail 7 to 12.2 in (18 to 31 cm)

Answer 3

its a seperate species, and is really nto suitable for you, Im guessing.

It is a desert fox, and never drinks water its whole life.

Their ears are big so they can hear insects IN THE GROUND.

Not suitable for common households where tvs and stuff play.

Answer 4

The Fennec fox is the only fox that is suitable to keep as a pet,however,they are very curious and must be watched very carefully so they do not get into trouble or escape.It is legal to keep a Fennec in Louisiana,and no permit is needed to keep it. It is wise to think long and hard before obtaining any exotic animal,no matter how small and cuddly it may seem,as it is still a wild animal.

Answer 5

It's not a breed.  It's a species.  It's also a wild animal and therefore will not make a good pet, no matter what people say.  Let them live where they are meant to live and do not encourage breeding for captivity if you truly love these animals.
