Thank u for making these videos I'm going through cancer right now and I can't tell you how much it helps me to watch Loki thank you so much it really is a great thing
Wow, there are a lot of stupid people in this comment section. Loki was RESCUED from a fur farm shortly after birth. He would die if he were released into the wild, as he has no hunting experience.
To keep a wild animal as a pet is rescue for you? I doubt that poor thing enjoys it's prison. People always thing they help wild animals when they keep them as pets. Uh, it would have died otherwise. Thing is: those animals don't understand that and for them it's just another prison. They belong into the wild. Anything else is pure stress and torture for them. Neither help nor rescue.
ZorroLoco And putting him into a private household in a city keeping him like a freakin dog was the only option? you're kidding, right? How about give him to someone who actually knows how to keep foxes? Not in the house but outside. Not as a pet but somewhere, where he can still be a fox. With a big enclosure outside, not in a small house. they probably just kept him as a pet, because they got bored of normal pets. Rescueing an animal from a fur farm just to keep it as a pet is cruel... That's not helping the poor animal. And rescued him? Or do you mean, they STOLE him? because Fur Farm or not, I don't think it's legal to "rescue" animals from there... If the owners don't agree to it.
Oozaru85 There are way too many domesticated foxes in the world for each one to be owned specifically by a raiser who was trained to do so. Given that, yes. This is the best option for Loki, a domesticated fox. I see why you're upset, but you are really underestimating what Loki's owner went through just to give Loki a chance. AGAIN, Loki would be _dead_ if not for his current owner. And for your information, fur farms are only quasi-legal in the first place. Regardless, do you really agree with what they do? I don't think you do. I'll say it again. There is much, much more to the story than you are accounting for. Your heart is somewhat in the right place, but you are not attacking the right people, mostly because you are making these horrendous assumptions. But, if I can't convince you to actually see the situation for what it really is, then I'm sorry, I can't help you. Take care, friend.
lyco mania It does, but it's usually not enough. It's actually pretty simple psychology, when you get down to it (if you want more information, you can study the effects of the "nature vs. nurture" relationship). Not to mention, these exact same scenarios have happened before. There are tons of videos published by verified nature channels that show the details of these types of situations. "Brave Wilderness" and "camelsandfriends" are two prime examples on TH-cam, as well as most zoo channels, like "nywolforg" on TH-cam and "Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center" on Facebook. I hope you check them out! They're very authentic and interesting pages.
lyco mania Yeah, that's exactly what I mean. Hard science, from hard scientists. On the pages I described. Have fun watching them, they're very informative! :)
Every time I see your videos I can only think. Wow you spend an incredible amount of time taking care of him. How much you love him and all the work you've done to help him be happy. Very well done. I think other pet owners should see this to see the level of care you give yours. Oh and thanks for giving us the opportunity to see this awesome animal through your videos.
Also, I'm not looking forward for putting on the harness on my future fox(ies), but maybe you could train a foxie in a way. Like with a treat or something when the harness is on. Not sure about that, it'll be 'fun' to try in the future that is for sure. *Sigh* Can't wait to have a foxie, hopefully one that likes to cuddle for one thing.
+The Forgotten Angel of Atlantis it might be best as when it is a baby to start training with the harness. .and leave it on him for awhile to get him use to it all the time.
That is possible since it would give them a lot of time to get use to it. But even then, they still might not like it being put on and stress out, not as bad as Loki, but still not good.
Yup.. he just wanted to play with the duck.... till it broke and didn't play anymore lol If you start the harness training when they are really young they will be used to it when older. I didn't start till he was 8 moths old soo I missed my window
I respect you for maintaining the channel and uploading these videos despite the constant ignorance you're bombarded with from people who haven't a clue what they're talking about. I'm not sure I could put up with it.
I dont care what people say your the best dad Loki can have since Loki isnt a pet fox , never bred for that purpose. I think the way Loki acts is a miracle for a semi wild animal ofcourse thanks to your carefull tending and love.
I wonder if he can be "trained" to associate the collar with good things, like treats. Or maybe he'll eventually learn to be ok with it because he associates it with going outside.
+Loki the Red Fox him and his pizza. The one at the halls where I was living loves pizza. The fox there is so lucky because most people there love it and feed it and it's pretty safe there without the worry of any predators.
over the years i had many types of dogs and cats. foxes (as i seen them on youtube) seem like a "up yours" type of combination between cats and dogs. but with much love. amazing animal. always smiling at you :)
Right everybody this man is not torturing his fox or anything he saved this fox when The Fox was only a little club and it couldn't go free outside because it might not know how to survive and it might run into a road do you want it to get shot even? The fox may of got a bit stressed but it's his fox not yours so leave him alone
You shut up... It is a living being and it has the right to direct sunlight, and contact and interaction, and you as an owner should organize that in any shaps or form. I don't care if it is his or anyone's
Is seems Loki doesn't understand that harness=Fun outside time! :) I laughed at how he was pushing you away with his paw like he was saying "Nope! Not this again! You can't make me!" XD Sooo Cute!
This video was recommended after I watched Tyr walking in the same parking lot. Loki was pretty chill in the video and was even smiling, hopefully Tyr will get used to going for walks like his predecessor.
People work 10 hours a day in mines just to live. A fox is given love and care and as good a life as there is on this planet. So how about everybody just enjoys the videos?
I expect foxes don't like a harness for one of the same reasons cats hate water; it pushes their fur against their skin, flattening it, and therefore making them feel trapped and vulnerable. I know that's the point of putting a harness on though.
Amazing how well he coped with those loud noises even more so considering he doesn't go out a lot. I take my dog out all the time for years but he still gets spooked by loud noises from trucks, buses or motorbikes going past nearby and tries to run away.
So, like you say, I am by no means an expert or even an amature with animals at all, much less foxes, but even so, I wonder if a buckle system would work so you don't have to get anything around his head.
Trying not to be jealous.....how cool it must be to have Loki. Your videos show a here-to-for-never-seen-side to foxes. Wonderful videos, and, thank you very much!
Beautiful animal glad looks like Loki is going to do what he wants to no matter what lol. Looks like you are taking really good care of him though keep it up.
I'm actually surprised those ducks were tolerating him being so close to them. Cute as he may be, Loki is a predator. If you look at the food chain Fox would sit right on top of Duck. I would expect the ducks to notice him and get the hell out of Dodge. But ducks are kinda dumb, so...
The ducks are used to the stray cats in the area, I guess they thought it was a weird looking cat till he got up and wanted to play with them... they went home quick lol
Thank you for putting the rant in there! I get so annoyed watch the so called fox know-it-alls tell YOU how to handle you fox. Shut down! Looooooove your vids! Sending pets to Loki (when he's not bitey) lol
You need to condition him to understand if he wants outside you put it on. My cat goes get the leash herself and brings it to me when she wants to go out.
why do you walk your cat? I just let my cat outside and she always comes back to door and I let her in again. cats are very good at not getting lost and they usually don't go far from house. also they don't like to be on leash PS. yes I live in an apartment in the city
There are so many kinds of harnesses avalable. I hope you will find one that suits your fox. From here it looks like his harness is a bit to small for him but I guess that is wrong. I have some Julius K9 power harnesses for my dog. Sometimes I prefer to use some less heavy stuff because it looks more comfortable. For me it is easy. She bears evrything I get her but on that point she is less sensitive then a fox. I hope you will find a way to make it more pleasent for Loki. It must be really great owning a fox. I can imagine it is totally different then a dog.
So cute at first I thought Loki had boots 👢 on or socks at first and I was like waaaaaa 🐺👢🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾💫💫💨💨💨😲😨😱😵😄😄😄😄. So cute with the his tongue out when he was panting. 🐺 😛 😁 😊🌸. Donna Rose 🌹
To anyone that wants to complain about how Loki wasn't happy during the part where the harness is being put on... look at his body language and behavior. He was wagging his tail (rare for some foxes... like Loki) and he was play biting. If he was really not happy about this he wouldn't have been so kind. Also: foxes are master escape artists. Loki would have found a way out... or at least to move a bit.
These family outings are so stressful! I thought his leash came off for a second... Imagine he would have Duck a la king x2 and cat kabobs.. He he 😬 thanks for sharing
I left the harness of for the next 2 days and he was NOT a happy camper. The harness he has is very covering it is good for when he is out but to wear it all the time would be very uncomfortable. if it was a straps around him it would be different. Getting a new harness style in the next couple of weeks
Hi, love the videos! I had an arctic fox and she absolutely hated the style of harness you have, the one that goes over the head. I finally found one that went on over her feet (kind of like putting on underwear), went around her neck, and over her shoulders. After her chewing through about six different harness I finally figured out she didn't like things going over her head. Not sure if this is Loki's problem or not. I miss my "Little Lady" and enjoy watching your videos. Does your guy spray the house like mine did? You should let others know if he does because most people can't stand the mess and all the damage a fox can do.
To Loki's owner, sincere condolences. RIP to your dear Loki and you.😰😢 . I read that Loki died and am so sad for you, but know you did a beautiful job taking the best care of him. God bless you for being a beautiful caregiver to him. 😇
Where I am walking him there is no people, he does not care about strangers when we re out as long as they do not make eye contact with him and walk in his direction, then he wants to go the other way
This guy is selfish and lazy and doesn't eant anyone to be happy.. So this fox never after this video went again out in the sun... Never out of that disgusting room
I don't know why you put that statement in the video. All animals have issues with leashes or harness when first off. Even after they are well exposed and God forbid slip off, it's like "FREEDOM" but if your a good person to your animal they follow you back. At least dogs and horses. Wild animals who knows?
You are way to hectic and nervous around the fox. He feeds off that energy. Be calm and confident when you work with him and especially when you talk around him. You want to speak softly, calmly, and slowly. Draw the words out to sound less excited. If you listen to yourself talk to the fox you will notice you sound exactly like his chatter when he is upset.
I do like how he goes to bite at the harnest, atleast his instincts to keep things wrapped around his chest is stilli n him :) Loki the Red Fox I love your videos
I can't watch the whole video; Loki looks stressed (panting). The people who complain might be ones who let their dogs run free to be their natural selves, having no idea what dogs do. But I do. I lived in a suburb where people let their dogs run free while they went to work. Eight dogs formed a pack and killed our neighbor's lab, they found him in a wooded area torn apart. They didn't know who did it and there were no wild animals bigger than a racoon. Then the pack killed a terrier on a leash - the owner could not drive the pack off her dog and had to watch in horror as they tore her dog apart. At the end of the workday, the dogs went home and licked their owners' faces. Until they got the flyer the lady sent to everyone in a several mile radius, describing each dog in the pack and how they killed her dog. There was every kind of dog in the pack -- all with collars, all with homes. Talk to a farmer, you'll find out dogs don't run free in their communities -- not for long they don't.
Panting just means he's hot. It's a way that dogs or foxes cool off. Even cats do it my dog does it all the time and he's not stressed because all they do is sit around. And my dogs also do it when they are on a walk.
So don't complain about how this dude is a bad owner, cause he's not, he's done nothing wrong. Loki is just hot that's all. Now that we've cleared this up go and watch all of the video sweetheart
if Loki was stressed he wouldnt be layin there kickin it while there were 2 wild birds just a few feet away. If he really wanted he could of easily had duck for lunch but he didnt, he'd rather have pizza haha
this is sooo boring !!! dude what you need to do is learn how to train him so he doesnt get stressed out everytime he goes for walks... use treats and positive reinforcement. its easy i dont know why you are having so much trouble over something so simple.
dudeeeee. THIS IS NOT AN ORDINARY PET. this is like a dragon! you don't just "use treats and positive reinforcement." it is NOT easy. try owning a fox. see how it feels.
wesley Hempoli Oh so now every video is suppose to be fun? And this isn't a dog, it's a fox. You don't know what he does after the walk, maybe he trains him. Who knows?
Wish I could meet Loki, ive never had the opportunity to meet a fox that is used to humans. Their behavior is so much more complex yet amazingly social than most people know.
wouldn't you get better results trying to put his harness on if you hadn't turned it into some sort of strange game? you really ought to stop that forward and backward motion and just put it on rather then messing around. i know, it's like telling someone else how to raise their kids. but things that are not games shouldn't be made into games, all you're doing is training them to make things more difficult for yourself.
I have been doing this with him for about 4 years... the straight forward approach does not work. the treats don't work, so I tried making it a game for him to see how it goes... at the end of the day no matter what I have tried in the last 4 years I bleed. I wish Cesar Milan could come over and help... but he would probably hang up on me when I told him what I wanted him for lol
Dude, I have watched a few of your videos now, and I can clearly see what the problems you are having come down to. 1: You are expecting a certain behaviour from him and keep saying "no" every time. 2: you pester him too much, many times he is telling you clearly to just leave him alone, animals have personal space too. 3: You aren't clear enough in what you are trying to train him to, those ducks for instance, you should have known RIGHT away what he was really after, so before he got to the point of sitting down you distract and lead him off in the opposite direction, a clear indication of what you want him to do. and lastly, I don't think he likes you very much, you need to give him space to do his own things and come to you because he wants not, not because you want to make a video, or you want fusses, or because you want to play. A lot of that chase play is him saying "go away". I've had exotic pets, a few of them in fact, and you have to realise that some of these are not domesticated. A dog thinks humans are awesome, fun feeding things and they love us no matter what, because over thousands of years we made them like that. Your fox has none of that, and yes you can make friends with non-domesticated animals, but it MUST be a two way thing, they have to learn that you are okay and learn the advantage of you, if not you have a wild animal that you have subdued not to bite you that is actually miserable and keeps having "no" yelled at it.
Why you always pull him.And you have a lot longer rope but you keep him very close.Thats not a walk.You just restrict him for everything. Not good.I like your videos thow. Leave him to do what animals do and correct him only when he about to do something critical not to pull him while sits and clearly want to make friends with the ducks. The walk should be mostly on his terms. You need to understand better animal language. p.s.About the harness-at first you should give him like a toy to smell it, play and get used to it. Then will be easier to get closer to him with it. Sorry for the criticism but i felt I nee to tell you.
lol "make friends with the ducks"???? A bastard fox broke into my chicken yard the other day to "make friends".... ...all that was left was a ton of feathers and chicken heads.
Nikola Vasilev if you gave him a toy and put the harness on at the same time are you sure it will be easier im pretty sure loki will think that you wanns take it from him
MJ FAN4EVER are you a fox expert no your not why dont read the faq's first then comment as you see loki is around other animals or people so do you think his social life will be like a trained dog nah
Still wild, just tamed. That's the definition. Unless Loki is one of the Russian bred domesticated ones, hes still wild. All the foxes from the farm raised fur trade are still considered wild, just tamed. Js.
Those birds were so still I thought they were statues at first. He did much better walking than I would have expected. No bolting or anything (at least, during the little we saw). I was particularly impressed on how well he behaved around the birds and the cat. I'm also surprised how brave/stupid those birds were letting a fox get that close to them...
Don't need to be a fox expert to see you're doing this intentionally stressfull, to "prove" 2 things : - Your theory is valid - Your viewers (which would agree with you) are stupid Do this 1:03 with any dog, and he'll be stressed too...
@@IchigoKurosakicool dosent mean shoving it onto him like that is the way to do it either don't be so incompetent. The poor animal probably thought his life was in danger at that moment if it were me I would say someone is about to choke me I'm pretty sure calmly any way is the way to do it so just think before u type...
Are you mental he wasn't stressed. He was Gekkering so its a sign of being playful. You should keep you damn mouth shut before opening it. Your clearly no expert to Foxes.
I think Loki was a very lucky fox and I think of this guy often .If there was just 1 reason the pizza alone is not bad,as he loved it .Sorry to hear of the lose and a tip of the hat to those who loved him and took care of dear Loki.
A fox is not a pet, its already too difficult to have it at home,also he doesnt show any affect or love to you, you yust tell him: "no, no, no, dont do that", "dont kill the dove", or "dont eat the walls cover paint"
Loki looks bewildered, scared, confused etc. And you really don't seem to know very much about animals. Maybe Loki's confusion is coming from you. SORRY..but that's what I see.
Jackie Beaupre you should subscribe still the fox is not being tortured or anything I bet other people's dogs act like this when somebody put a leash on there dog and The Fox acts the same and he said he didn't wanna hear from all of you little fox experts so everyone just leave him alone
Jackie Beaupre you poor little snowflake. Probably the best that you stopped watching so you don’t get triggered anymore. Please go back into your little bubble of protection from the world. Oh and learn how to read the description next time. It’s fantastic. It looks like you’ve been though college and know what research is and primary sources are.
Sorry but I think I'd much rather watch a wild fox being hunted to death with a pack of foxhounds than watch this tortured animal suffer in the way that it obviously does. In the words of Noel Gallagher - What a life ! And in the words of biologist Dr David MacDonald author of 'Running with the Fox', expert in foxes from Oxford University - never, ever try to rear a fox as you condemn it to a life of absolute madness and misery.
So funny when he tries to slap the harness out of your hand. He wasn't having any of it. I can't imagine the work it takes to raise a fox. Makes me tired just thinking about it lol
Aww poor Loki getting that leash on had to be a struggle for you both. His whines were rather cute though. You treat Loki extremely well and deserve kitsune kudos.
You can tell he has no hunting prowess at all until the ducks started moving. Then he was like what there was duck?.. I like your little messages to us. I love how people who have never even seen one in person or touched one and think they are so knowledgeable. People suck. I would rather hang with animals because it’s pure.
My Holland Lop HATES it when we put her on her harness (no matter how gentle we are or how many treats we give her), so we're in the same boat here :) Though I can't say she's as good as walking with it than Loki is! She seems to have this idea that if she runs to the end of the leash as fast as she can, then she can break it. It usually ends up with us running with her to ensure she doesn't hurt herself trying to fight it. She seems to think that watching us stumble around next to her is pretty funny :)

when you take Loki out, do people ever ask to pet him?
I would hes soooooo flufffyyyy :)
no
I would
Will a fox runaway if you let it off the leash?
Mark Brand Professional fox expert here, the answer is... Probably? I don't know, I don't own a fox.
"But I just want to touch the ducks! I don't want to eat them!" Loki - 2016. XD

+The Forgotten Angel of Atlantis it might be best as when it is a baby to start training with the harness. .and leave it on him for awhile to get him use to it all the time.
Maybe leaving the harness of them for prolonged periods of time could work? That is how I got both my dogs and cats to not mind being in a harness
That is possible since it would give them a lot of time to get use to it. But even then, they still might not like it being put on and stress out, not as bad as Loki, but still not good.
Yup.. he just wanted to play with the duck.... till it broke and didn't play anymore lol If you start the harness training when they are really young they will be used to it when older. I didn't start till he was 8 moths old soo I missed my window

Getting the harness of Loki looks like trying to get a kid ready for school
Oh the STRUGGLE
Oh my gosh yes!
I dont care what people say your the best dad Loki can have since Loki isnt a pet fox , never bred for that purpose. I think the way Loki acts is a miracle for a semi wild animal ofcourse thanks to your carefull tending and love.
so very true... I have never said Loki was domesticated
*you're
I wonder if he can be "trained" to associate the collar with good things, like treats. Or maybe he'll eventually learn to be ok with it because he associates it with going outside.
I was going to ask if he would cooperate with treats
He has shown that he can be trained to give a paw, but that's not exactly on the same level as putting on a harness.
I give him some steak as soon as he has it on... I will try with pizza :) :)
I just got some pizza. *shares with Loki*
+Loki the Red Fox him and his pizza. The one at the halls where I was living loves pizza. The fox there is so lucky because most people there love it and feed it and it's pretty safe there without the worry of any predators.

You shut up... It is a living being and it has the right to direct sunlight, and contact and interaction, and you as an owner should organize that in any shaps or form. I don't care if it is his or anyone's
Chill dude you don't have to be so harsh vekuis
No u shut up its not like u could do better,plus mabey he once worked for a wild life company so he knows how to take care of it
vekuis woah there’s an “animal expert”
I swear on harambe I'm gonna like this comment
You said it, don't let harambe down💪🏼 he's watching us.
a normal human being would see you obviously treat your fox amazingly well
Thank you :) :)
Is seems Loki doesn't understand that harness=Fun outside time! :) I laughed at how he was pushing you away with his paw like he was saying "Nope! Not this again! You can't make me!" XD Sooo Cute!
He knows!!!! I am going to try new things with him to try to get the evil harness on him lol
Thank you for sharing this part of fox owning with us. It's not always all peaches and sunshine with "exotic" pets. :)
I try to show both sides :) :) It is not always a walk in the park
Foxes are like dogs, so my following argument is valid.
Foxes are cute.
REKT!
Missed Lethal you are wrong
Missed Lethal foxes are a completely different species from dogs
Funny JOKE you it's a JOKE
They have a similar shape....but behavioral wise, are not like dogs. #foxfacc
@@nashidragneel4980 they said foxes are dogs, not foxes are dogs

Lol Loki didn't wanna go, he wanted to catch those ducks:-))
You're doing an awesome job. What a lucky guy... so spoiled lol
thank you :)
I expect foxes don't like a harness for one of the same reasons cats hate water; it pushes their fur against their skin, flattening it, and therefore making them feel trapped and vulnerable. I know that's the point of putting a harness on though.
Amazing how well he coped with those loud noises even more so considering he doesn't go out a lot. I take my dog out all the time for years but he still gets spooked by loud noises from trucks, buses or motorbikes going past nearby and tries to run away.
So, like you say, I am by no means an expert or even an amature with animals at all, much less foxes, but even so, I wonder if a buckle system would work so you don't have to get anything around his head.
That is what I am trying next :) :)
Loki is one cute fox, God bless you for looking after Loki
Trying not to be jealous.....how cool it must be to have Loki. Your videos show a here-to-for-never-seen-side to foxes. Wonderful videos, and, thank you very much!
Jim Fowler thank you
I love Loki 🦊I love foxs❤️ Loki is awesome🦊
Beautiful animal glad looks like Loki is going to do what he wants to no matter what lol. Looks like you are taking really good care of him though keep it up.
Actually that's a bad idea because there might be loads of people asking to pet him which is not good for him
Sorry wrong comment lol sry it was for a person who said to bring him to a park
seems chill outside. beautiful animal. glad to see you touching him in this video.
I'm actually surprised those ducks were tolerating him being so close to them. Cute as he may be, Loki is a predator. If you look at the food chain Fox would sit right on top of Duck. I would expect the ducks to notice him and get the hell out of Dodge. But ducks are kinda dumb, so...
The ducks are used to the stray cats in the area, I guess they thought it was a weird looking cat till he got up and wanted to play with them... they went home quick lol
Explosivo717 a
What a nice and patient daddy to spend time taking his fox out for fresh air and a walk. He seems to enjoy that part even though he hates his collar.
He really likes to go out... that is the surprising thing. Just not putting on the collar
+Loki the Red Fox My cat is like this too. Sometimes animals are unable to put 2 and 2 together.
Thank you for putting the rant in there! I get so annoyed watch the so called fox know-it-alls tell YOU how to handle you fox. Shut down! Looooooove your vids! Sending pets to Loki (when he's not bitey) lol
lol😂😂 well they need to watch they back, Loki don't play that, love u guys sooo much💖💖😎
lol
You need to condition him to understand if he wants outside you put it on. My cat goes get the leash herself and brings it to me when she wants to go out.
but loki dosent like the leash -_-
Andreas Löfgren no he's fine with it just leave him to rase his fox the way he wants to
Andreas Löfgren loki is not a cat
Lucky. My cat said no. then walked away.
why do you walk your cat? I just let my cat outside and she always comes back to door and I let her in again. cats are very good at not getting lost and they usually don't go far from house. also they don't like to be on leash
PS. yes I live in an apartment in the city
Well after scranning the ducks....yummeee! Lol
There are so many kinds of harnesses avalable. I hope you will find one that suits your fox. From here it looks like his harness is a bit to small for him but I guess that is wrong. I have some Julius K9 power harnesses for my dog. Sometimes I prefer to use some less heavy stuff because it looks more comfortable. For me it is easy. She bears evrything I get her but on that point she is less sensitive then a fox. I hope you will find a way to make it more pleasent for Loki. It must be really great owning a fox. I can imagine it is totally different then a dog.
So cute at first I thought Loki had boots 👢 on or socks at first and I was like waaaaaa 🐺👢🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾💫💫💨💨💨😲😨😱😵😄😄😄😄. So cute with the his tongue out when he was panting. 🐺 😛 😁
😊🌸. Donna Rose 🌹
To anyone that wants to complain about how Loki wasn't happy during the part where the harness is being put on... look at his body language and behavior.
He was wagging his tail (rare for some foxes... like Loki) and he was play biting. If he was really not happy about this he wouldn't have been so kind. Also: foxes are master escape artists. Loki would have found a way out... or at least to move a bit.
He knows I am going to get the harness on him no matter what.. I am getting a couple of different harnesses to try out to see if they work better :)
These family outings are so stressful! I thought his leash came off for a second... Imagine he would have Duck a la king x2 and cat kabobs.. He he 😬 thanks for sharing
once you put the harness on him, leave it on, unless to give Loki a bath, so he would get used to it
I left the harness of for the next 2 days and he was NOT a happy camper. The harness he has is very covering it is good for when he is out but to wear it all the time would be very uncomfortable. if it was a straps around him it would be different. Getting a new harness style in the next couple of weeks
Good take him with you and bring "fox treats" When you put it on give him a treet keep doing that til he associates the harness with something good.
Donna Gastin
I am trying :) :) I will give him pizza
:) that's good And he's a good fox. And I enjoy the videos of him too
Loki the Red Fox
Pizza???? WHERE'S MAH DAMN HARNESS!!!!!!
I love how Loki has his front half like a red fox and his back half like a grey fox💖💖

“B-but dad, I was just getting us dinner”
lol True!!! :)
The beginning was hilarious........."no dude you are NOT putting that one me !! "
Hi, love the videos! I had an arctic fox and she absolutely hated the style of harness you have, the one that goes over the head. I finally found one that went on over her feet (kind of like putting on underwear), went around her neck, and over her shoulders. After her chewing through about six different harness I finally figured out she didn't like things going over her head. Not sure if this is Loki's problem or not. I miss my "Little Lady" and enjoy watching your videos. Does your guy spray the house like mine did? You should let others know if he does because most people can't stand the mess and all the damage a fox can do.
What happened to the fox
@@SageGilbert191 probably died of old age or from an illness
I think it is wonderful you tried so hard to get Loki outside. All the new Smells and Sounds!!
I have always tried but he was really freaked out about the outside
loki is lowkey loki
Aw, poor lil foxy. So reluctant.
:) :)
you could do with an outdoor fenced area so he can be free outdoors.
He sure is a feisty little devil and doesn't give in to the harness without a struggle! What a fascinating little guy Loki is.
Thank you
OG Loc going for a walk.
great, now im hearing "Aye aye aye aye" when Loki makes noices xD
To Loki's owner, sincere condolences. RIP to your dear Loki and you.😰😢 . I read that Loki died and am so sad for you, but know you did a beautiful job taking the best care of him. God bless you for being a beautiful caregiver to him. 😇
But I want DUCK! :)
So, what sorts of reactions do you get from people who encounter Loki while on one of his walks? How does he react to strangers?
That's what I was thinking!
Where I am walking him there is no people, he does not care about strangers when we re out as long as they do not make eye contact with him and walk in his direction, then he wants to go the other way
Loki the Red Fox - Does he handle guests to your home, well?
At home it is 60% better if you don't make eye contact tooo often
Loki the Red Fox Did he ever met fox fellas? :D
Loki is very beautiful 🌈🌺💓🤙🕊😀😄
So amazing that Loki was saved from his harsh fate of being a Canada goose hood
NooZzleZ actually it would be moose knuckles, Canada goose uses coyote fur
that's nice that Mr. fluffy butt is able to enjoy the outdoors!!!!
i think you should by a leash that can extend so he can run around more
so loki could eat the ducks
+Lord Turnip exactly :DD
well, turnip, those leashes usually have a button to stop it from extrnding, don't know if it would hold for a fox but XD
Scott Shaw buy*
This guy is selfish and lazy and doesn't eant anyone to be happy.. So this fox never after this video went again out in the sun... Never out of that disgusting room
I saw your website and the pic of Loki as a baby was the cutest thing I have ever seen besides Loki himself right now;)
Those ducks were suicidal. PS they make harnesses that don't go over the head, just sayin.
I found one that clips around the head and waist which is working perfectly, I only get bit for 20 seconds rather than 2 minutes
Yo this channel is really cool and relaxing
I don't know why you put that statement in the video. All animals have issues with leashes or harness when first off. Even after they are well exposed and God forbid slip off, it's like "FREEDOM" but if your a good person to your animal they follow you back. At least dogs and horses. Wild animals who knows?
yeah... cats do pretty much the same thing even if you treat them like gods
He did that coz some FOX EXPERTS were harassing him in the comment section
*tries to put harness on*
*loki puts his hand in the way*
LMAO HAD ME DEAD THOUGH 😂 😂 😂
You are way to hectic and nervous around the fox. He feeds off that energy. Be calm and confident when you work with him and especially when you talk around him. You want to speak softly, calmly, and slowly. Draw the words out to sound less excited. If you listen to yourself talk to the fox you will notice you sound exactly like his chatter when he is upset.
Where is your evidence that this is true? And what makes you qualified to give advice on domesticated fox raising?
I do like how he goes to bite at the harnest, atleast his instincts to keep things wrapped around his chest is stilli n him :) Loki the Red Fox I love your videos
I can't watch the whole video; Loki looks stressed (panting). The people who complain might be ones who let their dogs run free to be their natural selves, having no idea what dogs do. But I do. I lived in a suburb where people let their dogs run free while they went to work. Eight dogs formed a pack and killed our neighbor's lab, they found him in a wooded area torn apart. They didn't know who did it and there were no wild animals bigger than a racoon. Then the pack killed a terrier on a leash - the owner could not drive the pack off her dog and had to watch in horror as they tore her dog apart. At the end of the workday, the dogs went home and licked their owners' faces. Until they got the flyer the lady sent to everyone in a several mile radius, describing each dog in the pack and how they killed her dog. There was every kind of dog in the pack -- all with collars, all with homes. Talk to a farmer, you'll find out dogs don't run free in their communities -- not for long they don't.
Panting just means he's hot. It's a way that dogs or foxes cool off. Even cats do it my dog does it all the time and he's not stressed because all they do is sit around. And my dogs also do it when they are on a walk.
So don't complain about how this dude is a bad owner, cause he's not, he's done nothing wrong. Loki is just hot that's all. Now that we've cleared this up go and watch all of the video sweetheart
They live in Florida. It's hot there year-round, and panting is the only way Loki has to keep cool, especially with fur that thick.
if Loki was stressed he wouldnt be layin there kickin it while there were 2 wild birds just a few feet away. If he really wanted he could of easily had duck for lunch but he didnt, he'd rather have pizza haha
Panting is also a sign of stress, as is yawning in dogs, so it can be either hot or stressed or both its just a fact.
Observing how on alert he is. There's something scary under every leaf for him.
Look at him, he looks lost and confused out there now, he don't know what to do hehehe
Wow! That's a really cute hamster! He sure loves walks
this is sooo boring !!! dude what you need to do is learn how to train him so he doesnt get stressed out everytime he goes for walks... use treats and positive reinforcement. its easy i dont know why you are having so much trouble over something so simple.
dudeeeee. THIS IS NOT AN ORDINARY PET. this is like a dragon! you don't just "use treats and positive reinforcement." it is NOT easy. try owning a fox. see how it feels.
BoomerBoxerReal With a dragon, without experience, it'll train you.
wesley Hempoli Oh so now every video is suppose to be fun? And this isn't a dog, it's a fox. You don't know what he does after the walk, maybe he trains him. Who knows?
wesley Hempoli are you a fox expert now because you saw some videos of walking dogs??
Wish I could meet Loki, ive never had the opportunity to meet a fox that is used to humans. Their behavior is so much more complex yet amazingly social than most people know.
wouldn't you get better results trying to put his harness on if you hadn't turned it into some sort of strange game? you really ought to stop that forward and backward motion and just put it on rather then messing around.
i know, it's like telling someone else how to raise their kids. but things that are not games shouldn't be made into games, all you're doing is training them to make things more difficult for yourself.
I have been doing this with him for about 4 years... the straight forward approach does not work. the treats don't work, so I tried making it a game for him to see how it goes... at the end of the day no matter what I have tried in the last 4 years I bleed. I wish Cesar Milan could come over and help... but he would probably hang up on me when I told him what I wanted him for lol
ah, well maybe someday i'll get a fox and then i'll find out just how dumb i actually am.
Are you the owner of Loki? No? Then stfu
I think it’s a good thing to give Loki exposure to other animals such as the ducks.
Dude, I have watched a few of your videos now, and I can clearly see what the problems you are having come down to. 1: You are expecting a certain behaviour from him and keep saying "no" every time. 2: you pester him too much, many times he is telling you clearly to just leave him alone, animals have personal space too. 3: You aren't clear enough in what you are trying to train him to, those ducks for instance, you should have known RIGHT away what he was really after, so before he got to the point of sitting down you distract and lead him off in the opposite direction, a clear indication of what you want him to do. and lastly, I don't think he likes you very much, you need to give him space to do his own things and come to you because he wants not, not because you want to make a video, or you want fusses, or because you want to play. A lot of that chase play is him saying "go away".
I've had exotic pets, a few of them in fact, and you have to realise that some of these are not domesticated. A dog thinks humans are awesome, fun feeding things and they love us no matter what, because over thousands of years we made them like that. Your fox has none of that, and yes you can make friends with non-domesticated animals, but it MUST be a two way thing, they have to learn that you are okay and learn the advantage of you, if not you have a wild animal that you have subdued not to bite you that is actually miserable and keeps having "no" yelled at it.
Morlanius owner is disguising dipshit who thinks that he can force an animal into a leash
The mgtow Neet well that's not nice
Morlanius read the faq first
The mgtow Neet it cant go outside without it it’s either that or not at all
I am in love with Loki. Lucky you having him.
Why you always pull him.And you have a lot longer rope but you keep him very close.Thats not a walk.You just restrict him for everything. Not good.I like your videos thow. Leave him to do what animals do and correct him only when he about to do something critical not to pull him while sits and clearly want to make friends with the ducks. The walk should be mostly on his terms. You need to understand better animal language.
p.s.About the harness-at first you should give him like a toy to smell it, play and get used to it. Then will be easier to get closer to him with it. Sorry for the criticism but i felt I nee to tell you.
lol "make friends with the ducks"????
A bastard fox broke into my chicken yard the other day to "make friends"....
...all that was left was a ton of feathers and chicken heads.
Nikola Vasilev I think he'd prefer to eat the ducks rather then "make friends" with then ducks
Nikola Vasilev if you gave him a toy and put the harness on at the same time are you sure it will be easier im pretty sure loki will think that you wanns take it from him
He is really a handsome little fella and his tail is beautiful.
Walk him in a nature trail not a boring parking lot jeez !!!!
Really
MJ FAN4EVER are you a fox expert no your not why dont read the faq's first then comment as you see loki is around other animals or people so do you think his social life will be like a trained dog nah
MJ FAN4EVER Why? He's not a wild fox.
Lmfao it's a domesticated fox not a wild one
Still wild, just tamed. That's the definition. Unless Loki is one of the Russian bred domesticated ones, hes still wild. All the foxes from the farm raised fur trade are still considered wild, just tamed. Js.
Those birds were so still I thought they were statues at first. He did much better walking than I would have expected. No bolting or anything (at least, during the little we saw). I was particularly impressed on how well he behaved around the birds and the cat. I'm also surprised how brave/stupid those birds were letting a fox get that close to them...
lol The ducks were a little confused as were the cats lol He was really good considering that was his first duck
Don't need to be a fox expert to see you're doing this intentionally stressfull, to "prove" 2 things :
- Your theory is valid
- Your viewers (which would agree with you) are stupid
Do this 1:03 with any dog, and he'll be stressed too...
dupon davignon it was loki's first time..everything takes time...You're the one wrong here anyways
@@IchigoKurosakicool dosent mean shoving it onto him like that is the way to do it either don't be so incompetent. The poor animal probably thought his life was in danger at that moment if it were me I would say someone is about to choke me I'm pretty sure calmly any way is the way to do it so just think before u type...
@@Catonicgames2000 yeah some just over "dose'nt"....it's his first time wearing a collars what do you expect?
Are you mental he wasn't stressed. He was Gekkering so its a sign of being playful. You should keep you damn mouth shut before opening it. Your clearly no expert to Foxes.
I think Loki was a very lucky fox and I think of this guy often .If there was just 1 reason the pizza alone is not bad,as he loved it .Sorry to hear of the lose and a tip of the hat to those who loved him and took care of dear Loki.
A fox is not a pet, its already too difficult to have it at home,also he doesnt show any affect or love to you, you yust tell him: "no, no, no, dont do that", "dont kill the dove", or "dont eat the walls cover paint"
Juan Pablo Manotas what else should he do? Say "YES YES EAT IT"
That's not completely true foxes show affection vary well and have been known for it but I do agree it's hard to own one
No affection???..nigga you cray cray?
Everyone: SO MANY MEAN COMMENTS
Me: looking everywhere for mean comments 🤷🏻♀️😂😂
Btw: YOUR FOX IS ADORABLE!! All I have is my fish and hamster. 😂
Loki looks bewildered, scared, confused etc.
And you really don't seem to know very much about animals.
Maybe Loki's confusion is coming from you.
SORRY..but that's what I see.
Harness Scene totally understandable, i wouldn't have liked being put into a harness either :P
Loki was such a good boy.
Why do you not wear gloves is my question..
After seeing how scared he was I can't subscribe anymore. Poor thing.
jesssssssssssssssssssssusssssssss ... stoppppppppppppppppppppppppp projecting ... his life could not be better
Jackie Beaupre you should subscribe still the fox is not being tortured or anything I bet other people's dogs act like this when somebody put a leash on there dog and The Fox acts the same and he said he didn't wanna hear from all of you little fox experts so everyone just leave him alone
Jackie Beaupre you poor little snowflake. Probably the best that you stopped watching so you don’t get triggered anymore. Please go back into your little bubble of protection from the world. Oh and learn how to read the description next time. It’s fantastic. It looks like you’ve been though college and know what research is and primary sources are.
I LOVE HIS WIMPER OMG LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE IT
Sorry but I think I'd much rather watch a wild fox being hunted to death with a pack of foxhounds than watch this tortured animal suffer in the way that it obviously does. In the words of Noel Gallagher - What a life ! And in the words of biologist Dr David MacDonald author of 'Running with the Fox', expert in foxes from Oxford University - never, ever try to rear a fox as you condemn it to a life of absolute madness and misery.
Loki is domesticaded he is like 60% dog...
LOL!
would u rather loki suffer in a tiny cage then be skinned alive for its fur than to be in this man's home?
he's not abusing it or torturing it, he's saving it from a fur farm which is where loki was born in
Paskan Marjat you obviously haven't seen gis other videos if you think he has no interest in playing or being pet.
Loki was in predator mode when he saw the ducks!!!! 🐾🐾 😁😁
So funny when he tries to slap the harness out of your hand. He wasn't having any of it. I can't imagine the work it takes to raise a fox. Makes me tired just thinking about it lol
He not happy yes but he adorable ... birds! Lol loki so dang cute
What r u even trying to say I think Loki is very happy not being part of a coat or in the stomach of an other animal
Aww poor Loki getting that leash on had to be a struggle for you both. His whines were rather cute though. You treat Loki extremely well and deserve kitsune kudos.
Thank you :) :)
You can tell he has no hunting prowess at all until the ducks started moving. Then he was like what there was duck?.. I like your little messages to us. I love how people who have never even seen one in person or touched one and think they are so knowledgeable. People suck. I would rather hang with animals because it’s pure.
Look at him so cute🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
Foxes are cute! i love Loki!
My Holland Lop HATES it when we put her on her harness (no matter how gentle we are or how many treats we give her), so we're in the same boat here :) Though I can't say she's as good as walking with it than Loki is! She seems to have this idea that if she runs to the end of the leash as fast as she can, then she can break it. It usually ends up with us running with her to ensure she doesn't hurt herself trying to fight it. She seems to think that watching us stumble around next to her is pretty funny :)
lol Loki is pretty good on the actual walk, even thou he is not in it for the walk more to see what is around him
Significantly less ducks than I expected to see out and about.
my goodness, just like my cat hahaha! but a bit like a doggy too. Awesome
Love the way he communicates with you and doesn't freak out at you for this, pretty sure most dogs wouldn't be so nice with you.
