They're cute, but I think I'd prefer a colour of red fox. Here in VA it's legal to own any colour mutation of red fox OTHER THAN the natural red. :rolleyes:
They're about $400-$600 each, so they're more in my price range. :rofl:

I've heard that other fox species smell REALLY bad due to their scent glands. Wouldn't that bother you?

Indeed, they do. I don't know if they can be descented like a skunk can. I helped take care of a pair of foxes at a small zoo. VERY pretty animals (one red and one white with black tips)....and just as stinky as they are pretty. They smell very skunk-like.
When we lived in Colorado, we had wild fox living all around us. When we'd go walking in the fields, you could smell the foxes even though you never saw them.
There's nothing subtle about a fox!

Aha! I heard that they smelled like skunks. Fortunately for me, Fennecs don't have much of a scent. He smells like pee sometimes because he's not very hygienic (he gets a lot of baths) but I've never found him with a skunky odor.

No. Some people have claimed they little trained their fennecs, but most people I've talked to say they simply can't be trained like that.
My fox doesn't seem to want to be trained though. I can't even get him to sit, and the dogs I trained a few years back got it right away.
