I think it would be awesome to have a pet Fennec fox! You just need to make sure to have a large backyard and a deep fence, because they like to dig.

Fennec's are so adorable. :3

I would prefer a red fox as a pet but is that legal?

Post by **Dissension** » Sat Jun 18, 2011 12:44 am

That depends on where you live.

yehoshua · Post by **yehoshua** » Sat Jun 18, 2011 12:47 am

Or a domesticated silver fox... OMG kit foxes are adorable! But so are cape foxes and corsac foxes! Swift foxes are nice too... So many to choose... Maybe it's legal in the united states to own a Domesticated silver fox, they look awesome and they are much more tame than the other foxes, almost dog like: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domesticated_Silver_Fox

What you really want is a maned wolf!

Post by **Sleet** » Sat Jun 18, 2011 12:53 am

Red foxes don't make very good pets, but it's possible if you're good. Siberian domesticated foxes are the easiest, but expensive. Dylans are your next best bet!

I like it! But it lives in Brazil, I'm in Colombia... I am yet to find out about a canid native to Colombia... You should see darwin's foxes, they are native to a small Chilean island called Chilote, they are highly endangered. I wrote a report on them for school.

What do you mean loud? *squeals in confusion!*

Fennecs are notoriously chatty and make really high-pitched squealing sounds. Specifically at night when everyone is trying to sleep!

This is a fennec fox murring: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8n_BGzj ... re=related

I've always wanted a domesticate Silver Fox :3 I think they're around 7000 dollars though, but legal in the U.S.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=te0qkKfgnQ8
With fennec's, I think the legality depends on the state you're in.

By the way, this is the best video I've seen on Youtube

My first pet will probably be a Pommy. After I get a hang of owning a dog, I'll get a fennec fox. From there I might get an Arctic fox if I can handle it. 'Cause they're not really domesticated.

Ask Rick to change it for ya! You box fox, you!

When you and Box O Lions post in the same thread things'll get confusing.

Okay I know that this was posted a while back about the wolves and all... but I have an interesting story about it...

I went to a mission trip down to the small bayou community of Labityville, LA because the Honduras trip was not available at the time and we were working in a small community, real friendly, even made us home made dinners out of the goodness of their hearts, but you see... when we were repairing houses we came across this interesting yard that needed a lot of work. THe funny thing about the yard was... it had three wolves in it... 0.0 Apparently they were being kept as pets and... well... it was awesome, but we all refused to go into their yard until they had put them in another fenced section of the yard for obvious reasons. They said they were tame, but you don't tame wolves. Can't be done! But they were awesome though! Cute to! If only they weren't eyeing me like food. :3

And... also... I'd change my name if I knew how... I made the account before I made the rabbit... *hangs ears and tilts head* So Box O Lions doesn't fit much with the adorable bunny motif... *giggles* How do you change it?

Post by **Sleet** » Sat Jun 18, 2011 1:56 am

PM Rick. I think only he can change names.

Post by **Dissension** » Sat Jun 18, 2011 2:08 am

It's true, only the administrator can change your username. (Note: Please do not overwhelm Rick with requests. Everyone constantly changing their user names would be silly and confusing!)

yehoshua · Post by **yehoshua** » Sat Jun 18, 2011 2:25 am

So now you want to be "Box 'o Bunnies"?

Post by **Dissension** » Sat Jun 18, 2011 2:27 am

He would presumably be "Res the Rabbit."

Tiggy · Post by **Tiggy** » Sat Jun 18, 2011 4:58 am

on the whole "pet" topic:

A tiger. A white one. That would be amazing.

Buut.... They're like wildestest animulz ever. So no can do x3

Kitela · Post by **Kitela** » Sat Jun 18, 2011 8:45 am

I think there are REALLY rich people who have tigers as pets.

Vespier Leo · Post by **Vespier Leo** » Sat Jun 18, 2011 9:17 am

My father had a pet Fox before. His was aparently rather docile. It was a Red fox to... I think I might like one as a pet.

As for Tigers... They are much harder to train and well... Very lethal.

Kitela · Post by **Kitela** » Sat Jun 18, 2011 9:45 am

Once I get the money and a house with a yard I want to get a domesticated fox. That would be awesome! ^^

And I would get a trampoline. :3

Cwitt · Post by **Cwitt** » Sat Jun 18, 2011 9:47 am

I want a raccoon!
...or a kitty cat, preferably a black one :3
I already have a dog.

Yes, but now i need to think of a new way to ship that name! I must recruit Sleet's help!

Kitela wrote:I think there are REALLY rich people who have tigers as pets.

Yes, there are! Though it was kind of a joke in The Hangover i'm fairly certain that Mike Tyson actually Has a tiger!

EDIT: Also, since the issue of expense has come up, i decided to look up costs myself! I found a reputable breeder selling foxes for fairly low prices! Much cheaper than i would have expected! They sell Red Foxes of various colors, Grey Foxes, Swift Foxes, and Fennecs! Link: http://sybilsden.com/caresheet/mandy.htm

Cwitt · Post by **Cwitt** » Sat Jun 18, 2011 10:04 am

$250 dollars doesn't sound like much for a fox!

ResTheRabbit · Post by **ResTheRabbit** » Sat Jun 18, 2011 10:13 am

I'm sticking with Box O Bunnies IF I happen to change it. I'd rather not overload Rick. The "Box O ____" has become a sort of trademark of sorts. I used to have a ton of accounts over xbox, all of them a Box variant. Box O Zombies, Box O Kitties... etc. Box O Bullets is the original and has to this day never been replicated in random multiplayer lobbies, which in itself makes me happy because of the unique status. X3 It's funny cause half of the people I know IRL call me Box instead of my real name.

As for amazing pets... Lion... That is all. I really do like white tigers too though. It must really suck to be a regular tiger cause all the white ones get picked by the rich people! X3

After repeated attempts of you trying to eat me... even after I made rabbioli just for you, I'd say putting you on a leash is smart. We already use the newspaper on you! *laughs* So having you as a pet would be nice. I already have you pretty much docile... *takes out a shotgun with newspaper slugs* And this is for good measure in case you act up. >:3

I'm a dog person really. Cats are nice, and i raised a cat with a dog. The cat actually behaved like a dog for the most part, but then after we got this new cat, I miss my cat-dog and my dog. :/ Most likely though in my career I will not be able to respond to a pet very much and rather than be a neglecting care taker, I'd soon just not get another.

yehoshua · Post by **yehoshua** » Sat Jun 18, 2011 10:52 am

I would love to have a siberian husky because it's a lot like a wolf but much more docile and actually legal to own as a pet

When I was little, as in a baby, I used to go to a farm that my grandma owned, I had a husky baby sitter over there, one time she saved me from going on the road and getting run over by a car

I love siberian huskies.

Or a fish

Fishsticks are yummy but sometimes I accidentally say fish-ticks, as if fish could get ticks... There are other underwater parasites though.
