To own foxes in any state, you must first get a special licence.

This is not necessarily true; in the state of Virginia it is perfectly legal to own a silver fox or cross fox without a license or permit. To actually be sure if it is allowed in your area you should contact your local fish and game department.

Special Certs. and Licenses Really Pertain to the Importing of Tame Foxes From Other Coutries... Importing Certs. and Such... However.., Some States May Require a License to Own Just Like Some States You Need to License and/ or Register Pit Bulls... Go Tame Not Wild...

Yes you can. The most popular pet fox is the Fennec Fox, due to their small size, cat-like nature, and relatively mild smell. Red Fox (and variations thereof) are also kept as pets. Less commonly you may find the Arctic, Grey, Bat-Earred, and Swift.

yes, however, only in certain states, i do NOT suggest getting one, however. Many foxes and other wild animals have to be rescued each year because people cannot take care of them or ditch them after realizing they are too much trouble.

It very VERY rarely works out even if you hand raise a fox from a kit. But there are a few circumstances where it has worked very wonderfully. Usually, the fox is left in a cage or in a small yard on a chain. They need LOTS of space and love to bite and chew things.

if you are serious about getting one and have a lot of money to care for it, get more info my joining the Yahoo mailing list of fox owners, sadly i don't have a link. But please, think twice before getting one! =D

If you want a fox, you need to check up on laws in your state and county. Most will require that you get an Exotic Pet License (EPL), and then you must find either a fox breeder or some other way to get one. Needless to say, it is not easy.

Do not get one until you read everything about foxes.

At an adoption center.

Actually, to get a fox, it is recommended that you find a licensed breeder that sells fox cubs. Before you even consider a fox, though, please do your research. Just because you want a fox, doesn't mean that you are a perfect match for one.

Your best bet is to go to find a breeder online and discuss with them about getting a cub. Please remember, though, to do research before purchasing a pet fox. They have a high up-keep, much higher than that of a dog or cat. ALWAYS remember that a fox is not a dog, it is a fox. They will behave like a fox, and you must be ready to care for it.

REMEMBER: Just because you want a fox, doesn't mean you are right for one.

There are breeders all around the US that sell all different species of domesticated fox. Do some research online to find one, but first, make sure that owning this exotic pet is legal in your state and area.

And after making sure it's legal, PLEASE PLEASE do your homework. Make sure that a fox is the right pet for you. They are a lot of work, and have a much higher up-keep than any dog or cat. Do tons of research, and contact fox owners online to learn about these little critters. REMEMBER: Just because you want a fox, doesn't mean you are right for one.

Some jurisdictions allow foxes to be kept as pets, others do not. You need to check local regulations. As foxes can carry rabies, many areas forbid keeping native species as pets. Texas is an example. However, it is fine to keep an exoctic species such as a fennec.

Yes, it is legal in the US to own a pet fox, but some states have bans on them. Check with your state laws and regulations to see if it is legal where you live.
