Why no one keeps foxes

Pet Question

Foxes are wild animals and are generally not suitable to be kept as pets. Here are several reasons:

1. Foxes are wild animals with cunning nature and are difficult to tame. Even if a fox is hand-reared as a youngster, it can become uncontrollable and dangerous as an adult.

2. Foxes require specific environments and living conditions. Wild foxes require lots of space and a suitable natural environment, such as grassland or forest. In a home environment, foxes may feel stressed and out of place, leading to abnormal behavior or health problems.

3. Foxes can pose health and safety concerns. Foxes may carry diseases or parasites that can be harmful to humans and other animals. Additionally, foxes may attack humans and other pets.

Why no one raises foxes

4. Raising foxes requires special knowledge and skills. Because foxes are wild animals, their behavior and health require special care and supervision. The average household may not have enough knowledge and skills to deal with a fox's needs.

In summary, although foxes are beautiful animals, they are generally not suitable as pets due to their nature and special needs. It is suggested that we should respect nature and protect the living environment and rights of wild animals.
