Top 5 Must-Knows About Fennec Fox Diet | Cat or Dog Food



A fennec fox’s diet should contain 90% meat and insects, and 10% fruit and vegetables. Insects can be waxworms, morioworms, phoenix worms, dubia roaches and locusts. The meat should be low on Retinol (Vitamin A, which is in fat, liver and kibble), contain enough Taurine (can be found in chicken/turkey hearts) and Calcium (as in uncooked, minced bones). Vegetables and fruit should not contain too much carbohydrates or belong to the nightshade family. So, carrots and pumpkin are healthy, while tomatoes and aubergines are not. Grain, flour and other starchy ingredients like tapioca should be avoided as it contains no nutritious value. Dog and cat kibble is unhealthy, because it’s not made for foxes. Stay close to the fennec’s natural diet!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1) Where do you come from?
I was raised by both my foxy parents and the extra milk-bottle-feeding-hooman in a warm house. When they couldn’t take care of me any more (my mom passed away) I got to live in my forever home with my two most favourite hoomans! We take long walks at the sand drifts, I get lots of living insects, meat and treats to eat, and I have infinite hours of play-time with other hoomans, woofers and meow-meows.

2) Why do I live with hoomans?
I come from a long line of bred-in-captivity foxes (over 30 years). These days considerably less fennecs are still wild catch and sold as pets. Most of my wild relatives are trophy hunted; putting a lot of stress on our population. So, please, don’t be sad that I live with my hoomans. I like to not have to fight for my home and food, and that I don’t have to share my bed, toys, couch, treats, puzzles and sandbox with other fennecs.
If you ever get interested in getting a fennec make sure the breeder is 100% reliable and fair to the foxes!

3) What it’s like to live with me?
My hooman grandmother said that I’m like having human triplets who are about 2 years old. I’m not sure if that’s a compliment, though… I’m a full time job, so forget about going anywhere if you own me (14 years long). Without the right care I will stay wild minded and bite you until you bleed. I get scared easily if not well socialized and I am destructive when bored. I am messy, loud, a loner, moody, troublesome and a tiny excavator.

4) So how do you take care of me?
My diet should contain 90% meat and insects, and 10% fruit and vegetables. I need many insects, like wax-worms, super worms, phoenix worms, dubia roaches and locusts. The meat should be low on Retinol (Vitamin A, which is in fat), and contain enough Taurine (can be found in chicken/turkey hearts) and Calcium (as in uncooked, minced bones). Vegetables and fruit should not contain too much carbohydrates or belong to the nightshade family. Grain, flour and other starchy ingredients like tapioca should be avoided as it contains no nutritious value. Dog and cat kibble is yuck and unhealthy! I only like the Saharan cuisine.
I don’t like busy city’s, small apartments or many hoomans. I like a large FOX PROOF house with a fenced garden where I can run run run, sandbox for dig dig dig, heating and lots of toys, insects and food puzzles.

5) What about my fox language?
I speak another language than woofers and meow-meows, and can make up to more than 40 calls and sounds. I produce more decibels than club party music. When I flatten my ears, wag my fluffy tail and even tremble or shake, it means that I am no threat to you and I am excited to play! I even laugh out loud when I’m very happy! I like to scream, which means I’m happy to see you. And I like to scream when I want to be alone. I can bark too!

6) Can I be trained like a dog?
I’m not easily trained. If you like to try you should be a stay-at-home-hooman and watch my every moment 24/7. That way you can put me near the litter box when I need to go, and maybe I will even use it. If you have any treats, I can sit for you. However, I’d rather train my hoomans to clean pee from … uh… my couch!

7) My cat bell
Although my ears are HUGE, they aren’t extra sensible to high or loud noises. They actually contain blood vessels which widen to dissipate heat and help me cool down. My paws are floofy to protect me from hot desert sand, and I walk around with no sound. That’s why I need the tiny bell sometimes. Otherwise clumsy hoomans will stumble over me! I’m too speedy and stealthy for them!!

So You Want To Own A Fennec Fox?



For months people have been asking me to do a video about fennec foxes. Since they were still considered an Exotic pet at the time of this video, I have always been hesitant to make this because not everyone should own one. I am in no way advocating that you go out and get one if you have no experience with these animals, however, if you’re going to ignore me and do it anyway, at least take my words into consideration and do as much research as you can before bringing one into your house.

This is NOT a dog or a cat so you cannot treat it like one. If you expect a pet that will cuddle with you all day and one that you can bring out for walks or out in public, this is not that kind of pet. Owning a fennec fox is best for someone who has the money to properly give them what they need, and prior experience so that you understand their mannerisms. Fennec Foxes can scream VERY loud, so do not get one if you live in an apartment or you will get complaints.

I will make a second part to this video soon, please forgive me for any mistakes or how I may look in this video, It was VERY early in the morning when I shot this. lol.

I may not know EVERYTHING about exotic pets and foxes in general, but I do have about 20 years hands-on experience working with these types of pets so please at least take my words into consideration before doing something stupid that can put you or a fox in harms way.

If you’ve never worked with foxes before, do that first to see if you really want one in your home. Join some of the fox groups on Facebook, Find Sanctuaries in your area or in driving distance, meet people on there who may live near you and see if you’re able to go meet the fox in person. Ask them about the downsides, and their daily routines. Ask them how much money they spend yearly or monthly on the fox, find out if there are exotic pet vets in your area… all of this will help you decide. Remember too, when you travel, you’ll need someone who is capable of caring for this pet…. the list goes on of things people normally don’t think of before getting a pet like this…

Fox Owners Beginners Guide: Use the Harness



Part 3 of the Pet Fox Owners Beginners Guide. In this video series I will elaborate on how I taught Djinn to be a happy and loving pet fox.

Every day videos are posted about cute looking foxes. However, many of these foxes are being sold once they’re older, destructive and no longer cute playful kits. Foxes are very destructive and territorial wild animals. They can be tamed, if given ALL your time and expertise about exotic animals. I would like to contribute to your expertise with these videos.

Part 3: Use the harness
Although foxes aren’t like dogs and most of them are terrible with a leash, walking outside is a good way of mental and physical exercise. But to do so, you would need to put on a harness. Which can be a stressful challenge! With lots of time, treats and consistency it is possible to pick up a fennec fox and put on a harness. Djinn is now 2 years old and on some days he still doesn’t want to be held or get near his harness. He’s a fox, so that’s alright. On those days we’ll play other fun games!
