What is a Fennec Fox

The fennec fox is a small species of fox found in the deserts of North Africa. They are the smallest canine species but have the largest ears relative to their body size which are used to both aid their hearing and to help them to control their body temperature in the hostile environments in which they live. Fennec foxes are largely nocturnal animals as this both helps protect them from the scorching African heat and keeps them safe from predators during the day. Their adorable appearance has lead to them being kept as pets throughout much of their natural range and also overseas. Male fennec foxes are known as  reynards  and females are called  *vixens*.

Fennec Fox As A Pet

The fennec fox is bred commercially as an exotic pet. Us as commercial breeders remove the kits from their mother to hand-raise them, as tame foxes are more valuable and are exotic animals that require considerably more care than your average pet. The purchase of your new baby includes lifetime breeder support, advice and guidance, so please read the basics guide at any time if you have any questions or concerns regarding the baby.

Fennec Fox Nutrition

Fennec foxes thrive on a diet high in live insects, whole prey, and raw meat. Please be very careful when feeding raw, to any animal! You must only order raw diets and whole prey from reputable sources, because contaminated or spoiled raw meats can lead to salmonella and ultimately death. Improperly stored raw meats can also spoil, so please make sure to store them in a clean freezer and do not feed frozen raw meats that are too old. Raw meats and whole prey can be ordered online from many sources that carry feed for carnivorous reptiles and mammals. Insects can also be ordered online from vendors if you cannot find a local source. We farm and hatch our own whole prey, so our foxes can have access to clean sources of mice, rats, chickens and quail. 

We also farm our own mealworms, super worms and Dubia roaches for their meals, and purchase other insect species from other vendors. 

Taking Your Kit Home

Unlike domesticated dogs and cats, foxes are exotic animals that require constant work to keep tame. We, as the breeder, has done our part to make your kit as tame and friendly as possible for you. It is now your turn to take over the work once you pick up your new baby. Please handle, socialize, and train them daily. Spend as much time with them as possible, and make sure to get them used to interacting with other people so that your fox is well socialized to house guests in the long run.
