What's ultimately going to happen to it? Can't ever obviously release it.

Will you keep it as a pet from now on?

I guess you kind of sort of have to, I'd be hesitant about any organization taking it off your hands.

I know here, the fish cops would probably kill it. And the so called 'refuge/rehab' place in our area would mostl likely keep it caged up in a quail run.

Roger is going to lovingly raise it, bathe it, brush it and just before Christmas he’ll choke it out and make a scarf for his cousin. 😁jk

I think it’s cool that Roger has a pet fox and I’m sure it’ll be a fun topic of conversation here. 👍

It's kind of hard to tell in the photos but it kinda looks like his pupils slit like a cat's. Is that right?
Posted By: Bwana_1 Re: growing like a weed. - 06/12/19
Is he litter trained, wouldn't want fox urine in my house.

All fox breeds do.

That's interesting. I'd have assumed that all canids have eyes like a dog, but that's obviously not correct.

Is he skittish at all, Roger, or does he pretty much act like a dog? Or ?????

We had a half-coyote dog when I was in high school and she didn't really act like a typical dog at all.

Yep. And I’m always amazed how “catlike” they sometimes act in their mannerisms.

I had a half coyote / half red healer that was one of the smartest dogs I ever had. He didn’t act very dog like either. Never ever barked unless something was bad wrong. If he ever barked at night, you had better damn well grab your gun.

Are you collecting fox urine? I hear it's good critter control in the garden.
Posted By: stxhunter Re: growing like a weed. - 06/13/19
gray foxes are not consider true foxes more primitive breed and cat like.

How about some video? Photos are great, but video tells so much more.
Posted By: stxhunter Re: growing like a weed. - 06/13/19
i'll try too
Posted By: Rooster7 Re: growing like a weed. - 06/13/19
He's getting big fast. Have you let him outside yet to see what he does?
Posted By: shootem Re: growing like a weed. - 06/13/19
Love it man. Cool critters to watch work. Shot a grand total of one grey fox in my life and didn't like the feeling. Was a teenager and back then didn't mind shooting anything. Just wasn't for me. Cool critters. Hope he hangs around a long time.

Yep. Walked through a pygmy oak forest outside of the central coast town I was living in, heard all these funny birds chirping at me. Turns out there were about 3-4 grey foxes checking me out. A couple of them in the trees (that grew at a slant, easy for them to scale I guess). Quite the unusual sighting for me.

Anyways, I hope the two of you manage a good long association together. Though I'm betting it becomes an "outside" fox in the not too distant future.
Posted By: Rooster7 Re: growing like a weed. - 06/13/19
I think Roger acquired it young enough that it might be ok. If not, he's got a good back up plan.

Greys are actually pretty good at tree climbing. Some of them “nest” too. Meaning they deliver and raise their Kits in a tree instead of in a den.

Does he roam around a night? Very cool story and animal
