There are breeders who sell domesticated foxes around the world. There are several in the UK, and LOTS in the US. If you want to buy a pet fox, make sure the breeder is USDA licensed and do a ton of research. Foxes don't make good pets for everyone, but if you do your research and know what you're getting into, they can be great and loving companions. Just be sure that you have patience :)
As for price, red-type foxes go for anything from $300-$550. If you're paying more than that for a red-type fox, you're probably getting ripped off.
