Do any foxes live in Texas?

Answer 1

Yes, foxes do live in Texas. We are feeding a mother fox right now in College Station. We live south of town and have wooded areas around our house. It appears to be a gray fox and probably is here in our subdivision looking for food. I've been feeding it chicken, etc. from our leftovers and she/he seems to be eating it.

I have been visited by a fox in in Arlington, Texas. On 1/25/2011, a young, sweet-faced red fox showed up on my backyard porch, crunching on the chicken I left out for the other critters. 2/1 and it showed up again. While it leaves when I turn on the outside light, both times it has first looked at me before walking away. I think I've made a meal guest. I live in an area with a lot of oak trees, and we're populated with all kinds of wild animals: possums, racoons, owls, snakes, ferrel cats, squirrels and other rodents, but this is the first time I've seen a fox. Where do all these wild animals stay in the daytime?

No, foxes are legal pets in the US, excluding some states that have a ban on the animal as pets. Check your states' laws and regulations to find out whether you can legally own one in your state.

Answer 3

You have to check on that depending on your county or city. Different cities and counties in texas have different laws. Like "only if under a certain amount of weight" or "only a certain species" or maybe even ban them all. It only depends on where in texas you plan on owning one.

Native species of foxes are illegal to hold as pets in Texas as foxes are considered as quarantine animals in Texas due to rabies. Exotic (non-native) species may be allowed but you need to check on local regulations.
