Why Don't We Have Pet Foxes?

Both foxes and dogs belong to the same family Canidae. Then why haven’t foxes become our companions too?
To answer this, in 1950, a group of Russian scientists began an experiment to try and create the first ever pet fox species. The study led by Russian geneticist Dmitry K. Belyaev started out to understand how animals are domesticated.
There is some evidence that early humans did try to tame the fox. But foxes are very shy and chaotic animals. In comparison, the wolf might have been easier to domesticate. This might be one reason that they weren’t domesticated.
The Russian fox farm experiment showed that it is possible to tame the fox. They are now investigating which genes might make some animals like the dogs friendly towards humans but others like foxes aggressive.

@gamester512 2 года назад

@@nightever426 Fennec Foxes are very small foxes (they can literally fit in your hand!) that are sometimes sold as pets, and since they are omnivorous, they can eat just about anything, though, IIRC they have a preference for fruit, and they can survive longer than most animals can without water as their natural habitat tends to be in deserts. They can be very loud in certain circumstances, so much so that they could likely even be heard from outside of your house even with all of your windows & doors closed. But Fennec Foxes are undeniably cute little things, and if you are willing and able to make the commitment, a Fennec Fox could make a good pet if you learn how to properly raise and care for one. And in rare cases, wild foxes that can no longer return to the wild can sometimes be kept as "pets", but that is only because those foxes can't survive in the wild anymore. If you happen to come across a very young Kit (a baby fox) that has lost his/her mother somehow, it might be possible to get that baby to "imprint" on you and come to view you as it's new parent, but even then, they would still be wild animals at their core, and that is something you would always have to keep in mind.

A friend of mine tried to keep as a pet a fox cub they found in the woods. While the little fox was adorable, quite affectionate and even learnt how to use a litter-box, he was also hyper-active, really loud at night, smelly and constantly biting furniture all around the house. It goes without saying that he wasn't a welcome presence for the chickens in their farm either - and could not be trained not to hunt for them. Unfortunately he ran away after a couple of months after smelling his mother and brothers. We don't know for sure if he joined back the group and if he's able to hunt to survive after his time with humans. Long story short: until a tame/more domesticated kind of fox is bred, they do not make for good pets. They are beautiful and smart animals, but are better left in the wild.

Wolves are pretty close to humans in size-100+ pounds-so it makes sense that they would’ve been helpful in hunting similar ice-age prey, eventually turning into dogs (and shrinking into chihuahuas 1000s of years later as needs changed). Foxes are naturally tiny in comparison, and wouldn’t have been much assistance until we invented agriculture and needed rodent control. But cats-still barely distinguishable from wild cousins today-were more murderous predators and filled that niche first.

We can tame many animals when we study to understand them. we have to learn 'their language'. Learn how they tick: how they bond, how they show trust. The thing they only live in pairs, not as a pack, night make them very loyal pets, but not friendly towards a large family. Of course the long tamed stock would tell more of the pet foxes . Need to watch those clips.

I searched for this topic because we have two juvenile foxes living in our condo community. They hang out right outside my building, running and playing with each other in the evenings. Neighbors have reported seeing what they presume is the mother with the youngsters, but I’ve only seen the young ones. We’re in a fairly urban area, too, with freeways all around us. I’ve seen plenty of coyotes, possums, raccoons, and the occasional bobcat, all within our fenced and gated community. The foxes are new, only having been seen in the past year or two. Seeing them run around outside, along with the fact that they don’t seem to try to run off or hide when they see a human, made me wonder why they haven’t been domesticated. This video explains it well. Maybe if we work on them for a few thousand years, we’ll get there.

1:42 so its also cats. 2:27 people, do NOT listen there. That's not true can i barn! Four of the reasons is that foxes have a more advanced developmental ability than other animal species are. foxes intelligence are lower the other in canidae but still is foxes smarter than them. Too high intelligence. So foxes should not be as bored in captivity. Foxes sleep 9,8 hours of day. Wolves sleep 7 hours. Human sleep 8,2 hours of day. In London and other cities, foxes are shown to be able to develop domestication on their own paw (hand).

Humans were able to hit a critical mass of semi-domesticated wolves that were just tame enough to keep running the experiment long enough to get dogs.

They are all in Rusia. They don't domesticate as well as wolves/dogs because they are NOT pack animals like wolves and dogs.

@tulenik71 5 месяцев назад

Not true. Foxes also form family groups. And pack is extended family/family group (or even unrelated individuals, anyone can join a pack). On the other side, pack theory is disproven for decades. In part, by the same researches who originally founded it. Unfortunately, based on wrong observations/wrong interpretation of those observations.

Honesty was given to dogs and cleverness to foxes... And when we look for friends we look for honesty ..not..

@talkingtomandtalkingbenfan9293 Год назад

Foxes can never be petted as they can be greedy and insane and can't let go of food in the house or attack farm animals like chickens, ducks and geese without hesitation

Many animals were often kept as pets, domestication was a rare, extreme version of pet ownership. The keeping of wild animals has slowly been made illegal and has fallen out of favor through various means

@Mobin92 Год назад

That's the point though. A domesticated animal genetically / instinctively doesn't mind being kept around humans. While taming is "brain washing" an individual wild animal.

@davidlee-michaels9430 Год назад

"because foxes are wild animals they don't make good domestic pets". Then domesticate them. Is that not what we did for thousands of years with wolves? RSPCA is dumb.

But rabies and other diseases they only get in wild sone have actuall house fox but you need large garden house etc no Hunters near and a zoo treat the foxes aswell better than the harsh wild

@tiffanyfett1159 3 года назад

This is inaccurate. A lot of common dog breeds (such as the pomeranian and many Spitz breeds) are genetically related fo foxes and not wolves. We did domesticate the fox.

@JeffBourke 2 года назад

dogs are not wolves bred to be tame. dogs evolved from wolves around man and his rubbish / waste. The wolves willing to come close to tribes - the "tamest" evolved into dogs.
