We left for vacation for ten days, and while we were gone our pet fox Gizmo managed to sneak his leash away from the kennel staff and eat it.

I am laughing because he doesn’t care but amazed that someone actually has a fox for a pet?? I’m surprised that is legal and safe enough to have a leash for him! (Him or her??)
Wow! I know there are some states that allow Foxes as pets…but I have never actually heard of anyone having one! Beautiful animal!!!! Though, looking at this baby’s coloring…I’m guessing he may be a hybrid?
When they started breeding for temperament in Russia they noticed a lot of morphological changes as well, such as changes in color, changes in limb length, and some foxes started having curly tails 😉
As cool and as great as owning a fox seems to be, they are a lot of work, need special enclosures. And no matter how friendly, if they do bite someone, they need to be put down, because there is no rabies vaccine for foxes and the only way to tell if they do have rabies is to check out the brain. So watch them on the web, and if you really want one, spend the money to have research done on a working rabies vaccine for them.

He looks like one of those domesticated silver foxes. Wild ones don’t usually have spots like that

It’s called a cross fox. Just a color variation of the red fox. They are native to North America.

It’s probably from Russia. There are researchers there that are domesticating foxes. They sell the ones they don’t need.

Importing Russian domesticated foxes costs an arm and a leg. Probably from an American or Canadian breeder.

It looks like a variant of the domestic fox. It’s completely legal.
