I've never realized "talking cutesy" somehow included having glazed over eyes and slurred speech. You're so wrong. But I digress. You believe what you want! Blind!
I have a fennec fox, They are not social with other foxes although I have 2 dogs(which get along great) And my fox is never stressed out only as long as you let it get out its energy and give it some room to play They are great pets! Subscribe
Usually when someone says makes a bad pet they mean you can't just go out and buy one with barely any research (like people tend to do with exotics) and expect it to be happy and healthy. They can make good pets when kept but a SUPER well informed owner
Hold thine tongue knave, thy queen will have no part in thy witch craft known as boxxy. Thy insolence of thee will surely lead to thy queens demise and shall be Punished by continued memes of quadruped aminals making unconventional faces.
What point she had no reasons for them being terrible pets besides.....maybe they get stressed out, which is not a point. We in fact, are all now dumber for having watching this abortion of a video (sorry, dead baby of a video, forgot PC and what not).
She didn't even give a legitimate reasoning as for why they make terrible pets. She just said that they can get stressed out in captivity. Please don't use such misleading titles...
Wild animals belong in the wild. Plenty of cats and dogs in shelters who are in dire need of help. No way you can reconstruct the conditions they live in in the wild. Add to that the horrible protection laws in the US , breeding for profit in general leading to awful conditions for the animals and the overwhelming need for conversation rather than ownership of animals and there is no non-selfish reason to want to own an exotic pet.
@@gleiraffe I mean, what about the ones that were born into captivity? They need some place to go and be cared for or they'll die. That's the only way I think it's okay for people to own them. They wouldn't survive out in the wild, if they were born and bred in captivity. I guess a lot of animal activists would rather the animal die than be taken care of by a human who has the resources and what not to take care of such animals. Not you, don't think I'm calling you one of these, but a lot of other "animal activists" think that way.
@@rocketassistedgoat1079 that was my immediate reaction, too! I got extremely annoyed as soon as she opened her mouth. Also, while I agree with her that fennecs are cute but don't make the best pets, she said a whole lot of nothing in a very short time span. Can't figure out why she has so many subscribers. Oh well, those are the days of social media. It's of course possible that she has matured a bit. This video is from 2014 after all. But I'm not at all tempted to find out more...
Here I was, wanting to own a fennec fox my whole life, and expecting to hear why fennec foxes are really hard to keep as pets (thing like, they have sensitive ears, they don't do well with a lot of people, they are really active and constantly demands your attention) and all I got was _Fennec foxes are easily stressed so don't get one cause it's bad_ If you want information on fennec foxes as pets, I recommend watching the video that 'The Dro' made, it's more useful than this bs
Thanks for the information, if I ever get one at least I know something about it not just they get stressed out in captivity, this video is soooo useless
I was thinking about getting one, too. I've done a bit of research on their care and plan to do more, but I have to know. Where could you find a humanely aquired/bred fennec? Are there rescues? I don't want to support animal mills.
^ that's why you give some drugs a try in high school, so you don't grow up to be a condescending nerdy turd who's dull as dirt. Have fun not having fun for the rest of your life.
+Nathan Shireling uh huh, I'm sure you will have kids, the boring turds always do, since they don't have any social lives to sacrifice, they have kids to fill the void.
+Nathan Shireling that's a philosophically unsound statement, drugs can be good and bad, it's all about perception, intention, and moderation. Of course, heroin, meth, coke, or anything like that are always bad, but psychedelics, when used responsibly and with the intention of seeking spiritual betterment can be profoundly good for you I don't like getting all fucked up on anything, but I recognize that life is better when your free from presumptions, and able to mix it up, which is pretty hard when you have kids Now, that's a bit of an over generalization, but I've never met parents in their early twenties that weren't yearning to do things they couldn't because of their lifestyle.
+Goat I don't really drink too often, but I do look back at high school fondly. I stand behind what I said, you introduce me to someone who's never taken drugs/drank, yet still has strong opinions about them, that isn't a boring douche, then I'll change my opinion, but I gotta tell ya, I'm not counting on it.
Goat So, you have "different kinds" of friends for "this very reason", meaning, if we're on the same page, you must have similar sentiment on this matter, but are unwilling to confront people who project their uppity opinions about drug use. Anyway, being too scared to try drugs and not trying them because of strong negative opinions are two different things, people who hike can be some of the most interesting people out there, and pretty commonly smoke weed and seek the occasional psychedelic experience. I'm not saying this because of his probable social choices/ hobbies, it's more about him having stupid preconceptions about things he doesn't really know about, that's why I called him a nerd turd, because it's a nerdy turdy habit to base your strong negative opinions on what you've read or heard, and then using any stupid excuse in an attempt to validate those beliefs, like in this case, where he's sighting someones quirky personality to justify the cons of drug use.To be clear, nothing wrong with being "nerdy" either, just "turdy", it's a particularly bad mix when you put em together. K? Now quit being turdy, and maybe go take a hike..:)
A. i agree with everyone, she sounds drunk and high B. i fail to see the reasoning behind the title. you have hardly explained WHY "Fennec foxes make terrible pets". here are the 3 bullet points i gathered from you that loosely support your title: 1. they are nocturnal 2. they get stressed easaly 3. they are social animals and you should get 2 instead of one already i can see that we can take away bullet point number 3 if you spend time with your fox and be the social partner for them. also we could minimize bullet point 2 if you train your fox to associate any loud noises and strangers as something normal using positive reinforcement. if you did that you probably can get it to a easily manageable level. in short you could just re-title the video to "Why fennec foxes are for experienced owners" or something about how advanced you should be to give a fennec fox a proper home.
From what I have read online on websites like the San Diego Zoo website, the only reason they are nocturnal is to keep cool during the day in the desert. If u dont live somewhere that's as hot as the Sahara or somewhere in africa I'm pretty sure it would have no need to burrow to keep cool during the day. so basically, even number 1 could be removed, making this video completely pointless.
I have only ever heard good things about foxes as pets. I don't know where miss Katie here gets her facts from, but all animals have their challenges, and if you think a fox's challenges make them bad pets, you have no business having any animals of any kind. Everything about them makes them sound like the perfect animal to be domesticating-- social, smart, visually appealing, small... Sounds like everything we want out of an animal companion in today's world. We already have several species under our belts that we have breed to be our friends, what makes it so wrong to add a species of fox to that list? What are we actually hurting to begin the process of domesticating a species of foxes? The wild species will still be there. Given their habitat and ours do not intersect as often as you would think, I don't see the harm.
I don't know much about fennecs, but I do know you have to constantly buy puppy training pads. And they like to dig as much as rabbits like to chew and cats like to claw your sofa. I know more about red foxes, if that's helpful. I know that the domestic ones lost some (but not all) of their musky smell, they're high energy animals (so don't leave them unattended in your house), needs an outside enclosure, can be loud, not allowed as pets in some states, and needs vets that know how to treat foxes. Also, once they escape, they don't come back home like dogs.
furseisekilulz That sounds like owning a good amount of dog breeds, having a red fox. (Minus the specialist vet.) Also ferrets. A lot like a ferret. I really don't see anything wrong with owning a fox if it matches you. If you're looking for a cute, high-energy animal, foxes match that without some of the genetic problems you get for getting some dog breeds. They have special care needs, just like anything you take in. I think they makes good pets. Maybe not for everyone, but no animal is going to please the personality of everyone.
dancydoober57@gmail.com First, you just replied to yourself, just thought I'd point that out. I don't know if you meant to, but that seems strange... Not to mention, you didn't make an argument to even counter. You put words on a page and made nonsense because that's what ends up happening when you don't properly use the written language in a forum where the the biggest way to communicate is through the written language. There's not a whole lot to respond to intelligently there. Second, dogs were adapted from wolves who are naturally predators to humans. That obviously isn't a good first choice either, is it? But guess what, here we are, having domesticated wolves and molded them into what we want them to be because of a handful of desirable traits. Third, very few people have the space or patience to keep a black lab happy, being a being bread to be high energy hunting and herding dogs and all, and yet, you seem to waste your time worrying about a pet choice very seldom made and assuming everyone who makes that choice is incapable of caring for them. Somehow a dog is a better choice because no other reason than we've kept them as pets longer. OK. Which leads me to my next point... Fourth, you're acting like nobody is capable of ever giving these animals a good home. Remember how a couple of sentences ago I was talking about how people can't even get the right environment for the dogs they decide to get? Well, I'm not suggesting anyone to willy-nilly get a fox. Nobody should adopt ANY animal if they aren't a thousand percent ready to care for them. That's a no-brainer. That is how it is. Period. It is irresponsible to just go out and get an animal without knowing about what it needs to be happy and healthy. If you have the habitat for them, and you are up to the challenge, what is the problem? That you're selectively squeamish about which animal we consider among those worthy of our homes doesn't actually make foxes bad pets. Fifth, there are people who breed foxes specifically as pets. They have been doing this for years. Whatever animal was pulled from the wild once had a very sad story. However, their offspring aren't prepared to survive in the wild. These are not wild foxes. These are foxes breed to be pets, and pets they are. If you work in an environment where you rescue mistreated wild animals, I don't think you have any authority to say what kind of success people have with the animals as pets. All you see is the failures from the failure people who could not provide. Last, "alot". I don't even know how people still use this. I mean, it comes up as a misspelled word for most spellcheckers...
dancydoober57@gmail.com oh boy. I was kinda hoping I would stay away from this one. For one thing, if you are saying that we humans don't deserve foxes, then perhaps you are right. However, that's not all you're saying. "you would not say we need to "mold " more animals" He didn't say it at all. "One generation of breeding stock is a joke." "Russia has had a breeding program for half a century" "One generation" "half a century" Are you listening to yourself? "Watch it on PBS" It's on youtube "when the novelty of these bat-eared creatures wear off" Foxes have been in human lore and culture for a long time. That aside, irresponsibility should be your number one point, because its very provable. It's sad that we *need* the aspca police, but some people are just uncaring slobs. "If you ever get a brain" childish. Stop that. "animal handlers who WORK with these animals tell you they do not make good pets" Which ones? "I NEED a cute, social, small new pet that hardly anyone has. You HAVE to be Paris Hilton's poor doppelganger." You're ASSUMING. Projecting. You cant tell him what he's thinking, and I don't think you know him. "You are so breathtakingly stupid in your arrogance and ignorance, you cannot and will not be helped." You're giving up way too easily, not that he's going to take you seriously; you're very toxic, do you realize that?
LOL She has no facts to back up why to not have them as pets. She is constantly changing the subject and looks embarrassed. Also she looks and sounds a little drunk...
Also, wouldn't all animals get stressed out? Like my cat gets stressed about a lot of things. So does my birds and strangers. And my leopard geckos and getting picked up, and my snake and getting put in small containment. But she definitely sounds drunk!
catmink1 Well, there is a difference...Cats and Dogs have been domesticated over thousands of years to live with humans and not get freaked out. They've been selectively bred for *so* long that it's built into their DNA now to be OK with living around human beings. With Foxes, they've only recently begun to be selectively bred...so not all the "bad" traits have been bred out of them yet. There is also something called capture myopathy where when a wild animal is captured it gets stressed out so much that it simply dies. A good example is a deer -- I think the figure is like as high as 75% of all adolescent and adult deers that are captured will die in captivity just from being stressed. I don't think Fennecs personally make great pets, but if you have the time to properly raise and socialize one, and you get a good one from a well known breeder who takes their job as a fox breeder seriously, then you should not have any major problems. The big problem with Fennecs is that they are extremely skittish, especially around strangers, but sometimes even with their owners, if they hear a loud noise or something spooks them, they can hide for hours -- they're also nocturnal naturally, and, the worst thing about them IMHO is that like all foxes, they have these scent gland things that cause them to smell sooooo bad...it's like a combination between a skunk, a sewer, and a public toilet...it's rancid...and giving them a bath or grooming them will not help, this is their natural smell. They also can not be left alone for a long time as they will become extremely hyper and sad / stressed -- so if you have a job and want to leave the Fennec at home during the day, please do not get one. They require constant attention, especially when young -- even leaving them alone for a few hours while you go to the store will cause them to be very upset. If you have like a stay at home job or something or don't need to work, and you have someone that can look after the Fennec while you're out then that's fine but keep in mind if you get one of these guys they have to come first before anything else in your life; it's a BIG commitment...that's why they don't make very good pets...people love their cats and dogs but if you told them that if they left their cat alone during the day it would possibly die and become so unhappy and emotional they probably would not want the cat.
+Aaron Jones Her voice could be "standardized" as a new form of prisoner torture. Forget "waterboarding". Listening to her vocal 'scratch' would empty the prisons via mass-suicide.
Oh, and the 24/7 perils and shortages of the f*cking desert don't induce stress? Honestly, it's just a case of being more gentle and attentive to a more fragile creature if you have one as a pet.
They are not for the casual pet owner. They require a lot of care. I had a fennec at one time when I was dating a woman who works with animals for a living. I wouldn't suggest fennec foxes as a casual pet. But if you are a professional who can give a fennec a life that is comparable to the life it'd have in the wild then go for it. But I'd say that most people cannot or aren't willing to do that.
+Michael Quindlen I'd agree with you, they are not domesticated like cats or dogs, a person has to be very patient, make sure they are given the proper diet (including bugs, worms, and fruit) and understand they are not lap pets. I can't imagine one doing well in an apartment having had a friend who owned one. The need to hide, and dig, and I would also say never get one that grew up in the wild, they just don't domesticate well. I'm not an expert but that is how it seemed to me. My friend had a big house, he make a very large sand box in the yard, got it the right foods and it did fine.... right up to the point an unfamiliar human got near it.
+Richard Blackmore Yes you're corrected they are not domesticated like dog's or cats because no one has genetically morph them like with dogs or cats . People get what domestication means.... Quite confused and more often misused the term.. The Fennec Fox is currently at the beginning stage of it's domestication. Once someone breed them to gain certain traits - example lets say there's a smaller ear Fennec fox who happen to have a strange coloration. Well you breed them with another Fennec with that same Trait in the hopes to make that trait more dominate. "Genetic difference between domestic and wild populations, and between the domestication traits that are presumed to have been essential at the early stages of domestication, and the improvement traits that have appeared since the split between wild and domestic populations." (wiki.) Exotic Reptiles is a domesticated animal. "Domestication traits are generally fixed within all domesticates and were selected during the initial episode of domestication, whereas improvement traits are present only in a proportion of domesticates, though they may be fixed in individual breeds or regional populations." (wiki.)
+Michael Quindlen I never got "a life that is comparable to the life it'd have in the wild". Surely your average animals life in the wild consists of desperately trying to find the supplies to sustain their own lives. And in the case of a fennec fox it's a case of roasting in the sun most of the day, looking for water before they dehydrate and looking for something to eat in a wide expanse of fucking nothing for miles while keeping its ears peeled for the next enormous snake that's going to eat its face. I mean I could stick it in the oven for most of the day at 50 celsius, hide its water bowl on top of wardrobe and unleash venomous snakes in my house every night but I don't think it wants those things.
+Knight-Errant I think what most people mean in the end is it getting the exercise and freedom of movement it usually accustomed to. They are an active animal, so if you coup it up all the time it won't be a happy pet. Sadly, a lot of people forget that with a good number of pets and then don't give the animal the proper care or play time to work out it's muscles but it's brain too. They hunt too, so playing with it letting it "hunt" would be good for it too.
+Richard Bidermanis Yup, pretty sure that's Catherine Wayne.... A.K.A. BOXXY. I've seen her in other random but professionally produced vids on youtube. People got to work.
I don't know much about fennec foxes and just stumbled on this video by chance. But if you ask me if an animals is capable of being a pet it should be more up to, will the animal be "happy", safe, taken care of properly, and not be suffering as a pet in a house, apartment or whatever, which would be the most important part of it, NOT what YOU think of it as a pet. And some random person in the comments has no more credibility than this video. If you want something as a pet you should get in contact with someone who actually knows something about these animals who are experts/professionals.
I hate to break it to people but the typical "house cat" is not domesticated either. So if you are against owning a fox but for owning a cat, you make no sense. A house cat is semi-domesticated at best. Unlike most cats however, the fennec requires a lot of attention. This is what leads them to get depressed. Just like parrots, they will become aggressive when they feel neglected. You need to have a companion for them as well be it another fennec, a cat, or a dog. If you don't spend most of your time at home, do not get one. Seriously. They make horrible pets because they aren't and never will be fully domesticated, but neither will the house cat... So take that for what it is. They do make amazing companions though, once you understand them.
+Britanica There's a difference between "tame" and "domesticated." Cats are tame animals. Meaning that you don't have to worry at all about them becoming aggressive towards humans unless mistreated or trained incorrectly. In that way, cats are tame. Fennec foxes (All foxes except for some in siberia that have been bred 10 generations in to be tame) are not tame, but CAN be domesticated. You can domesticate an animal without it being a tame animal. Comparing foxes to cats isn't correct. TL;DR - Tame = Genetically safe to be around humans. Domesticated = Trained to be around humans.
+ReKinn You got that backwards. Domesticating an animal takes generations of breeding and carefully selecting the traits while exposing the animal to humans. Dogs were domesticated thousands of years ago by humans. Taming, on the other hand, is something you can possibly do to most animals, but it requires getting it as a baby and carefully trying to train it. The animal is still feral, just tame to you, meaning it is NOT a safe family pet.
+Britanica But unlike the cats, it's very social... Cat's go fine on their own, they are solitare hunters, which means they do not live with other cats in the wild, necessary. :) Just to point that out - it's not cruel to hold cats alone, but it is to hold fennec foxes alone.
Being insufferable you mean. I couldn't even finish the video: I just needed to get rid of her. Apparently, she didn't even say anything meaningful. That's a shock.
Brandi I majored in bio in college and I have personal feelings about people making themselves the center of attention when it’s about a beautiful animal. If everyone only left positive comments then there’d be no room to grow. I put it harshly but what I was meant was that I would appreciate it if the focus was on the animal more in the videos.
@@memegod7589 most people can only deal with "omg you're so great" reactions. Nobody's getting a smack in the ass anymore and told "stop being so annoying".
One thing about Fennecs...they are some of the noisiest animals ever, and their noises...are annoying as they can possibly be. Even their "happy sounds" sound as if they are screaming while being murdered. Not so cute at that point.
Yeah. If they were as quiet as most cats and dogs, they would be amazing, just about perfect. Fennecs literally scream their lungs out at everything (there are some exceptions, different temperments, etc. but it's generally a universal thing with them as you probably know). Sigh, can't have perfection I guess. For me that is the only issue, but it's a pretty big one. It's basically like having a (human) baby 24/7. Cute as can be, but can make you want to rip your hair out sometimes. Funny thing is they are much quieter as babies. It's when they grow up that they just. don't. stop. ever.
Yeah i'm going to take my advice from some incoherent, rambling, anime sounding drunk child. "Tweet at me what animal you would like me to cover as best as i can" I've seen your "as best as i can" and it has left me thinking you shouldn't cover anything else lol.
Funny, I've talked to half a dozen people who have them as pets, and they said they were lovely. Any non-domestic animal can become highly stressed in captivity if not properly cared for, but they do just fine if kept by informed, responsible owners.
Basically this whole video is wrong. Fennec foxes love humans. Some people like bugs. you can feed them raw meat, but must have lots of taurine. Never feed them grapes. Or sweet candy like stuff.
I don't even think Fennec Foxes should be kept as pets. They are wild animals, and they should be in the wild where they are free, and like it said in this video, they can become incredibly stressed in captivity. To be honest, it makes me angry to see a wild animal in captivity (unless they have been rescued and cannot to released back into the wild) but I hate the fact that people scream out "I WANT A FOX! I WANT A FOX! I WANT A FOX!" I know everyone wants a fox (Well, I wouldn't want a pet fox), But having a wild animal as a pet is torture for the animal.. Keep this in mind before getting a wild animal for a pet! Wild animals should be kept wild and free, because we already have dogs, cats, hamsters and such, so why should we want more? I apologize greatly for this HUUUUUGE comment, but today I feel the need to express my feelings. :)
Dogs were wild animals, cats were wild animals, birds are wild animals, everything we have ever domesticated are wild animals, but do we still keep them, yes
Any animal in captivity can get stressed. Also all dogs at one point were wild but now look...there are a lot in captivity. Chuahuas and german sherpards. The list goes on. So the fact that you just said you hate it when people want wild animals means that you clearly think that people should not own dogs, cats, etc because at one point they were all wild or they are all wild. And also under the constitution of the USA people have the freedom to get and own what they want, whenever they want. Thus your thoughts and opinions that youve just shared mean nothing. Think twice next time before you troll
Frank Suarez To an extent, that's true. However. Big cats? Not good pets all the way around, the cost to do the care justice is astronomical. Same with most primates. Foxes like these can be pretty destructive, so you wouldn't want it in an apartment (or a house you can't reasonably foolproof). And they need lots of outdoor time and expensive food. Bad? Not exactly, but far better options exist. Unless you're allergic to cats and dogs and want a fuzzy creature you can take for walks.
+DFX2KX You are on the ball about foxes. They love love love to dig, need socialization and attention, let alone a specialized vet and a special diet. It takes a lot of dedication in owning a fox!
DiscordOfSound that vet cost is expensive. I used to follow a channel some years back, they owned two rescued foxes. The setup they needed was a bit mindboggling. Fennecs aren't quite as bad because they're small, but that vet bill won't pay itself.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domesticated_silver_fox Might look out for one of them if it has to be one. They are at least bread to be held in captivity... Just remember : In the end a fox is still a wild animal not like a dog who has been domesticated for centurys. So inform yourself and stay cool before making a decision.
Foxes make fine pets, but its a big responsibility - even moreso than with more domesticated species. As the person above stated, really need to make sure you're well-informed and up to the task before obtaining one (which, really, is the case for any animal you're taking into your charge).
nilesrock024 Yeah, I know. I've been researching it for several years, and likely won't go out and buy one for another several more, so I've done and will do my research. I once lived in a house of 5 dogs and 4 cats. I think I could handle at least one of the legal breeds of fox :)
PATRICK JOHNSTON That's why if you're going to own one you should have enough space for it and know how to take care of it properly. I know someone who owns a cheetah (legally) who was a rescue from a Zoo that was mistreating it's animals and they have acres and acres of farmland and field for it to run around on and it is super happy and content.
No, they're not always legal to own. They are banned in many states. As for making terrible pets- that depends on the owner. They can be wonderful for some, but then again some people shouldn't even own a goldfish. I have many exotic animals that some would consider "terrible to own". I disagree. But they are entitled to their opinion...
There is no such thing as terrible pets...only terrible owners who don't know how to share their living space with another creature. There's lots of people who get domesticated animals as is and expect them to do things outside of their nature without any real understanding of the other living being that is under their responsibility regardless of the fact that domesticated animals function well with human beings. To say nobody should get a certain pet because most other people are selfish and thoughtless and make terrible owners isn't fair to those who are intuitive and share a wonderful life with their preferred animal companion. Do I think most people should get a fox? No because not every person is a fox person. But I wouldn't tell a fox person they can't have a pet fox either. That's like saying nobody should have a dog because some people out there are not dog people. We should be educating people about individual animals and what it takes to be a great owner rather than saying an animal is a terrible pet.
Well, I think there are terrible "pets" in the sense that not all animals (domestic or otherwise) work in a household... environment. Like a pet wolf would probably do best in a foresty-like outdoor enclusure.
***** omg did i say that omg im sorry thay make sense in Fox planet but not on planet earth. Sorry i forgot you are from planet earth. But you are right i am a fox person soon I'll visit your planet. Goodbye alien.
You know it's ok to know things, you don't have to pretend to be stupid. People won't think any less of you for being intelligent and it would make watching your videos bearable.
Guys, just because an animal is prone to stress, it doesn't make them terrible pets. Turtles, scorpions, hedgehogs... all really common pets (all of which I've raised) and are all easily stressed out. I don't consider any of them to be terrible pets either. Also, dafuq you got Boxxy hosting a video for? That is not how you get taken seriously.
@@hvkhbojnlinlubobilib3220 If kept in wrong situations- of course. They make HORRIBLE pets for a lot of people, especially wild-caught ones. Captive-bred ones however can be great pets for SOME people. The care is specific and needs to be done correctly.
10hrs of boxxy can you see.......didnt bother me a bit...all 10hrs, drove my cousin to move out....(not kidding) i consider that a huge win...and would hug this gal if i ever got to meet her, if only for that reason....the fact shes cute and seems to have a great personality(watching her videos that arent boxxy like)... just makes me want to give her a 2nd hug... ;)
The reason women can't properly judge distances is because men keep trying to convince them that something that is three inches long is six inches long. ;-)
right so auto-generated subtitles can't get normal speaking videos right, yet when a drunk, possibly high and talking like a 7 year old women slurs all over the place auto-generated subtitles are just like "yep, this shit makes sense." WTF

They are not social with other foxes although I have 2 dogs(which get along great)
And my fox is never stressed out only as long as you let it get out its energy and give it some room to play

Kaustubh Joshi I’ve been told she OD
I assume she thinks she's being cute...
I see your point, but next time, don't do crack before an episode.
Hold thine tongue knave, thy queen will have no part in thy witch craft known as boxxy. Thy insolence of thee will surely lead to thy queens demise and shall be Punished by continued memes of quadruped aminals making unconventional faces.
ahhhh i remember when 4chan had to DDOS itself in order to remove the cancer known as boxxy
Crack is an upper, she's definitely on a downer (pills, booze)
What point she had no reasons for them being terrible pets besides.....maybe they get stressed out, which is not a point. We in fact, are all now dumber for having watching this abortion of a video (sorry, dead baby of a video, forgot PC and what not).
Look up Rosanno Pansino. They act very similarly, that's just how they are
She didn't even give a legitimate reasoning as for why they make terrible pets. She just said that they can get stressed out in captivity. Please don't use such misleading titles...
Here's some reason: they tend to SCREAM their heads off all the time and piss on everything
Wild animals belong in the wild. Plenty of cats and dogs in shelters who are in dire need of help.
No way you can reconstruct the conditions they live in in the wild. Add to that the horrible protection laws in the US , breeding for profit in general leading to awful conditions for the animals and the overwhelming need for conversation rather than ownership of animals and there is no non-selfish reason to want to own an exotic pet.
@@gleiraffe I mean, what about the ones that were born into captivity? They need some place to go and be cared for or they'll die. That's the only way I think it's okay for people to own them. They wouldn't survive out in the wild, if they were born and bred in captivity. I guess a lot of animal activists would rather the animal die than be taken care of by a human who has the resources and what not to take care of such animals. Not you, don't think I'm calling you one of these, but a lot of other "animal activists" think that way.
Oh yeah, of cOuRsE the fact that they suffer in captivity isn't a logical reason to not keep a wild animal as a pet.
They shouldn’t be pets at all, they’re wild animals. Not every animal put on this earth was made to serve humans.
10 seconds in and I wish I never clicked the video
First sound she made.
I wish I did not watch this because they are not bad pets because they are good brite side said they are good pets so how dare she
Why
Agreed, I had to stop: I can't listen to her. I really can't stand"women" this immature.
@@rocketassistedgoat1079 that was my immediate reaction, too! I got extremely annoyed as soon as she opened her mouth. Also, while I agree with her that fennecs are cute but don't make the best pets, she said a whole lot of nothing in a very short time span. Can't figure out why she has so many subscribers. Oh well, those are the days of social media. It's of course possible that she has matured a bit. This video is from 2014 after all. But I'm not at all tempted to find out more...
wow I totally forgot Boxxy was a thing at one point in time
+Justin Martone Thought this was a joke comment. But it turns out, it actually is...
ssshhhh oldfags only lol
i was there when 4chan DDOS'd itself

Yes
This was 6 years ago my man... different times. Rage comics where still in circulation
Still cute tho #nosimp
Here I was, wanting to own a fennec fox my whole life, and expecting to hear why fennec foxes are really hard to keep as pets (thing like, they have sensitive ears, they don't do well with a lot of people, they are really active and constantly demands your attention) and all I got was
_Fennec foxes are easily stressed so don't get one cause it's bad_
If you want information on fennec foxes as pets, I recommend watching the video that 'The Dro' made, it's more useful than this bs
Thanks for the information, if I ever get one at least I know something about it not just they get stressed out in captivity, this video is soooo useless
I was thinking about getting one, too. I've done a bit of research on their care and plan to do more, but I have to know. Where could you find a humanely aquired/bred fennec? Are there rescues? I don't want to support animal mills.
Dude don't stress me know i was also thinking and am active as a fennec fox
That's why you don't do drugs before videos
^ that's why you give some drugs a try in high school, so you don't grow up to be a condescending nerdy turd who's dull as dirt. Have fun not having fun for the rest of your life.
+Nathan Shireling uh huh, I'm sure you will have kids, the boring turds always do, since they don't have any social lives to sacrifice, they have kids to fill the void.
+Nathan Shireling that's a philosophically unsound statement, drugs can be good and bad, it's all about perception, intention, and moderation. Of course, heroin, meth, coke, or anything like that are always bad, but psychedelics, when used responsibly and with the intention of seeking spiritual betterment can be profoundly good for you I don't like getting all fucked up on anything, but I recognize that life is better when your free from presumptions, and able to mix it up, which is pretty hard when you have kids Now, that's a bit of an over generalization, but I've never met parents in their early twenties that weren't yearning to do things they couldn't because of their lifestyle.
+Goat I don't really drink too often, but I do look back at high school fondly. I stand behind what I said, you introduce me to someone who's never taken drugs/drank, yet still has strong opinions about them, that isn't a boring douche, then I'll change my opinion, but I gotta tell ya, I'm not counting on it.
Goat So, you have "different kinds" of friends for "this very reason", meaning, if we're on the same page, you must have similar sentiment on this matter, but are unwilling to confront people who project their uppity opinions about drug use. Anyway, being too scared to try drugs and not trying them because of strong negative opinions are two different things, people who hike can be some of the most interesting people out there, and pretty commonly smoke weed and seek the occasional psychedelic experience. I'm not saying this because of his probable social choices/ hobbies, it's more about him having stupid preconceptions about things he doesn't really know about, that's why I called him a nerd turd, because it's a nerdy turdy habit to base your strong negative opinions on what you've read or heard, and then using any stupid excuse in an attempt to validate those beliefs, like in this case, where he's sighting someones quirky personality to justify the cons of drug use.To be clear, nothing wrong with being "nerdy" either, just "turdy", it's a particularly bad mix when you put em together. K? Now quit being turdy, and maybe go take a hike..:)
2:06 there isn’t really a whole lot we know about these foxes

Or else you'll end up like this woman in the video. ;-;. Kids.
funny how i saw the message dont do drugs in my school venic hights elementry and was like we know that
A. i agree with everyone, she sounds drunk and high
B. i fail to see the reasoning behind the title. you have hardly explained WHY "Fennec foxes make terrible pets". here are the 3 bullet points i gathered from you that loosely support your title: 1. they are nocturnal 2. they get stressed easaly 3. they are social animals and you should get 2 instead of one
already i can see that we can take away bullet point number 3 if you spend time with your fox and be the social partner for them. also we could minimize bullet point 2 if you train your fox to associate any loud noises and strangers as something normal using positive reinforcement. if you did that you probably can get it to a easily manageable level.
in short you could just re-title the video to "Why fennec foxes are for experienced owners" or something about how advanced you should be to give a fennec fox a proper home.
Erik Westwood I think this is more accurate. They are just not for the casual pet owner.
From what I have read online on websites like the San Diego Zoo website, the only reason they are nocturnal is to keep cool during the day in the desert. If u dont live somewhere that's as hot as the Sahara or somewhere in africa I'm pretty sure it would have no need to burrow to keep cool during the day. so basically, even number 1 could be removed, making this video completely pointless.
I have only ever heard good things about foxes as pets. I don't know where miss Katie here gets her facts from, but all animals have their challenges, and if you think a fox's challenges make them bad pets, you have no business having any animals of any kind.
Everything about them makes them sound like the perfect animal to be domesticating-- social, smart, visually appealing, small... Sounds like everything we want out of an animal companion in today's world. We already have several species under our belts that we have breed to be our friends, what makes it so wrong to add a species of fox to that list? What are we actually hurting to begin the process of domesticating a species of foxes? The wild species will still be there. Given their habitat and ours do not intersect as often as you would think, I don't see the harm.
I don't know much about fennecs, but I do know you have to constantly buy puppy training pads. And they like to dig as much as rabbits like to chew and cats like to claw your sofa.
I know more about red foxes, if that's helpful. I know that the domestic ones lost some (but not all) of their musky smell, they're high energy animals (so don't leave them unattended in your house), needs an outside enclosure, can be loud, not allowed as pets in some states, and needs vets that know how to treat foxes.
Also, once they escape, they don't come back home like dogs.
furseisekilulz That sounds like owning a good amount of dog breeds, having a red fox. (Minus the specialist vet.) Also ferrets. A lot like a ferret. I really don't see anything wrong with owning a fox if it matches you. If you're looking for a cute, high-energy animal, foxes match that without some of the genetic problems you get for getting some dog breeds. They have special care needs, just like anything you take in.
I think they makes good pets. Maybe not for everyone, but no animal is going to please the personality of everyone.
dancydoober57@gmail.com I feel like you're trying to use a quote in there somewhere, but are unsure how to operate quotation marks...
dancydoober57@gmail.com First, you just replied to yourself, just thought I'd point that out. I don't know if you meant to, but that seems strange... Not to mention, you didn't make an argument to even counter. You put words on a page and made nonsense because that's what ends up happening when you don't properly use the written language in a forum where the the biggest way to communicate is through the written language. There's not a whole lot to respond to intelligently there.
Second, dogs were adapted from wolves who are naturally predators to humans. That obviously isn't a good first choice either, is it? But guess what, here we are, having domesticated wolves and molded them into what we want them to be because of a handful of desirable traits.
Third, very few people have the space or patience to keep a black lab happy, being a being bread to be high energy hunting and herding dogs and all, and yet, you seem to waste your time worrying about a pet choice very seldom made and assuming everyone who makes that choice is incapable of caring for them. Somehow a dog is a better choice because no other reason than we've kept them as pets longer. OK. Which leads me to my next point...
Fourth, you're acting like nobody is capable of ever giving these animals a good home. Remember how a couple of sentences ago I was talking about how people can't even get the right environment for the dogs they decide to get? Well, I'm not suggesting anyone to willy-nilly get a fox. Nobody should adopt ANY animal if they aren't a thousand percent ready to care for them. That's a no-brainer. That is how it is. Period. It is irresponsible to just go out and get an animal without knowing about what it needs to be happy and healthy. If you have the habitat for them, and you are up to the challenge, what is the problem? That you're selectively squeamish about which animal we consider among those worthy of our homes doesn't actually make foxes bad pets.
Fifth, there are people who breed foxes specifically as pets. They have been doing this for years. Whatever animal was pulled from the wild once had a very sad story. However, their offspring aren't prepared to survive in the wild. These are not wild foxes. These are foxes breed to be pets, and pets they are. If you work in an environment where you rescue mistreated wild animals, I don't think you have any authority to say what kind of success people have with the animals as pets. All you see is the failures from the failure people who could not provide.
Last, "alot". I don't even know how people still use this. I mean, it comes up as a misspelled word for most spellcheckers...
dancydoober57@gmail.com
oh boy. I was kinda hoping I would stay away from this one. For one thing, if you are saying that we humans don't deserve foxes, then perhaps you are right. However, that's not all you're saying.
"you would not say we need to "mold " more animals"
He didn't say it at all.
"One generation of breeding stock is a joke."
"Russia has had a breeding program for half a century"
"One generation"
"half a century"
Are you listening to yourself?
"Watch it on PBS"
It's on youtube
"when the novelty of these bat-eared creatures wear off"
Foxes have been in human lore and culture for a long time. That aside, irresponsibility should be your number one point, because its very provable. It's sad that we *need* the aspca police, but some people are just uncaring slobs.
"If you ever get a brain"
childish. Stop that.
"animal handlers who WORK with these animals tell you they do not make good pets"
Which ones?
"I NEED a cute, social, small new pet that hardly anyone has. You HAVE to be Paris Hilton's poor doppelganger."
You're ASSUMING. Projecting. You cant tell him what he's thinking, and I don't think you know him.
"You are so breathtakingly stupid in your arrogance and ignorance, you cannot and will not be helped."

LOL She has no facts to back up why to not have them as pets. She is constantly changing the subject and looks embarrassed. Also she looks and sounds a little drunk...
NoisyboyGaming I totally agree with you... when will she learn to speak up? Her voice keeps fading in and out!
Also, wouldn't all animals get stressed out? Like my cat gets stressed about a lot of things. So does my birds and strangers. And my leopard geckos and getting picked up, and my snake and getting put in small containment. But she definitely sounds drunk!
NoisyboyGaming yeah she defiantly seems drunk her voice hits highs and lows all through out the video and she says animal wrong
catmink1
Well, there is a difference...Cats and Dogs have been domesticated over thousands of years to live with humans and not get freaked out. They've been selectively bred for *so* long that it's built into their DNA now to be OK with living around human beings. With Foxes, they've only recently begun to be selectively bred...so not all the "bad" traits have been bred out of them yet. There is also something called capture myopathy where when a wild animal is captured it gets stressed out so much that it simply dies. A good example is a deer -- I think the figure is like as high as 75% of all adolescent and adult deers that are captured will die in captivity just from being stressed. I don't think Fennecs personally make great pets, but if you have the time to properly raise and socialize one, and you get a good one from a well known breeder who takes their job as a fox breeder seriously, then you should not have any major problems. The big problem with Fennecs is that they are extremely skittish, especially around strangers, but sometimes even with their owners, if they hear a loud noise or something spooks them, they can hide for hours -- they're also nocturnal naturally, and, the worst thing about them IMHO is that like all foxes, they have these scent gland things that cause them to smell sooooo bad...it's like a combination between a skunk, a sewer, and a public toilet...it's rancid...and giving them a bath or grooming them will not help, this is their natural smell. They also can not be left alone for a long time as they will become extremely hyper and sad / stressed -- so if you have a job and want to leave the Fennec at home during the day, please do not get one. They require constant attention, especially when young -- even leaving them alone for a few hours while you go to the store will cause them to be very upset. If you have like a stay at home job or something or don't need to work, and you have someone that can look after the Fennec while you're out then that's fine but keep in mind if you get one of these guys they have to come first before anything else in your life; it's a BIG commitment...that's why they don't make very good pets...people love their cats and dogs but if you told them that if they left their cat alone during the day it would possibly die and become so unhappy and emotional they probably would not want the cat.
+catmink1 Did you really just compare a domesticated cat to a wild African fox...
You would make a terrible pet.

Oh, and the 24/7 perils and shortages of the f*cking desert don't induce stress?
Honestly, it's just a case of being more gentle and attentive to a more fragile creature if you have one as a pet.
Just because you want an oxytocin kick doesn't mean you should cruelly imprison fennecs and keep them as pets.
They are not for the casual pet owner. They require a lot of care. I had a fennec at one time when I was dating a woman who works with animals for a living. I wouldn't suggest fennec foxes as a casual pet. But if you are a professional who can give a fennec a life that is comparable to the life it'd have in the wild then go for it. But I'd say that most people cannot or aren't willing to do that.
Like most pets, you should probably have a Lot of property, research their diet and habits before considering getting one.
+Michael Quindlen I'd agree with you, they are not domesticated like cats or dogs, a person has to be very patient, make sure they are given the proper diet (including bugs, worms, and fruit) and understand they are not lap pets. I can't imagine one doing well in an apartment having had a friend who owned one. The need to hide, and dig, and I would also say never get one that grew up in the wild, they just don't domesticate well. I'm not an expert but that is how it seemed to me. My friend had a big house, he make a very large sand box in the yard, got it the right foods and it did fine.... right up to the point an unfamiliar human got near it.
+Richard Blackmore Yes you're corrected they are not domesticated like dog's or cats because no one has genetically morph them like with dogs or cats . People get what domestication means.... Quite confused and more often misused the term..
The Fennec Fox is currently at the beginning stage of it's domestication. Once someone breed them to gain certain traits - example lets say there's a smaller ear Fennec fox who happen to have a strange coloration. Well you breed them with another Fennec with that same Trait in the hopes to make that trait more dominate.
"Genetic difference between domestic and wild populations, and between the domestication traits that are presumed to have been essential at the early stages of domestication, and the improvement traits that have appeared since the split between wild and domestic populations." (wiki.)
Exotic Reptiles is a domesticated animal.
"Domestication traits are generally fixed within all domesticates and were selected during the initial episode of domestication, whereas improvement traits are present only in a proportion of domesticates, though they may be fixed in individual breeds or regional populations." (wiki.)
+Michael Quindlen
I never got "a life that is comparable to the life it'd have in the wild". Surely your average animals life in the wild consists of desperately trying to find the supplies to sustain their own lives. And in the case of a fennec fox it's a case of roasting in the sun most of the day, looking for water before they dehydrate and looking for something to eat in a wide expanse of fucking nothing for miles while keeping its ears peeled for the next enormous snake that's going to eat its face.
I mean I could stick it in the oven for most of the day at 50 celsius, hide its water bowl on top of wardrobe and unleash venomous snakes in my house every night but I don't think it wants those things.
+Knight-Errant I think what most people mean in the end is it getting the exercise and freedom of movement it usually accustomed to. They are an active animal, so if you coup it up all the time it won't be a happy pet. Sadly, a lot of people forget that with a good number of pets and then don't give the animal the proper care or play time to work out it's muscles but it's brain too. They hunt too, so playing with it letting it "hunt" would be good for it too.

You don't have to fucking own a fennec to know that they don't do well in captivity.
ikr
I have a fennec fox myself and they are great pets. They are friendly and loving but are noisy.
i appreciate your comment for some reason.
I don't know much about fennec foxes and just stumbled on this video by chance. But if you ask me if an animals is capable of being a pet it should be more up to, will the animal be "happy", safe, taken care of properly, and not be suffering as a pet in a house, apartment or whatever, which would be the most important part of it, NOT what YOU think of it as a pet.
And some random person in the comments has no more credibility than this video. If you want something as a pet you should get in contact with someone who actually knows something about these animals who are experts/professionals.
1:43- "I say aminal on purpose" 1:48- says animal
Reading all the comments where everyone is too young to realize this is Boxxy makes me feel so old.
All those ears in the group shot!
first xd
Oh so u guys comment too....... Didn't know your chill guys
I hate to break it to people but the typical "house cat" is not domesticated either. So if you are against owning a fox but for owning a cat, you make no sense. A house cat is semi-domesticated at best. Unlike most cats however, the fennec requires a lot of attention. This is what leads them to get depressed. Just like parrots, they will become aggressive when they feel neglected. You need to have a companion for them as well be it another fennec, a cat, or a dog. If you don't spend most of your time at home, do not get one. Seriously. They make horrible pets because they aren't and never will be fully domesticated, but neither will the house cat... So take that for what it is. They do make amazing companions though, once you understand them.
+Britanica How would you define domestication?
+Britanica There's a difference between "tame" and "domesticated." Cats are tame animals. Meaning that you don't have to worry at all about them becoming aggressive towards humans unless mistreated or trained incorrectly. In that way, cats are tame. Fennec foxes (All foxes except for some in siberia that have been bred 10 generations in to be tame) are not tame, but CAN be domesticated. You can domesticate an animal without it being a tame animal. Comparing foxes to cats isn't correct.
TL;DR - Tame = Genetically safe to be around humans. Domesticated = Trained to be around humans.
+ReKinn You got that backwards.
Domesticating an animal takes generations of breeding and carefully selecting the traits while exposing the animal to humans. Dogs were domesticated thousands of years ago by humans.
Taming, on the other hand, is something you can possibly do to most animals, but it requires getting it as a baby and carefully trying to train it. The animal is still feral, just tame to you, meaning it is NOT a safe family pet.
Mixed 'em up then. My B. The point stands that the two terms are not the same thing.
+Britanica But unlike the cats, it's very social... Cat's go fine on their own, they are solitare hunters, which means they do not live with other cats in the wild, necessary. :) Just to point that out - it's not cruel to hold cats alone, but it is to hold fennec foxes alone.
Could you make this educational next time and not about you “being cute.”
Being insufferable you mean. I couldn't even finish the video: I just needed to get rid of her. Apparently, she didn't even say anything meaningful. That's a shock.
Don’t be rude
Could you just move on to another video next time and not “be a jerk”
Brandi I majored in bio in college and I have personal feelings about people making themselves the center of attention when it’s about a beautiful animal. If everyone only left positive comments then there’d be no room to grow. I put it harshly but what I was meant was that I would appreciate it if the focus was on the animal more in the videos.
@@memegod7589 most people can only deal with "omg you're so great" reactions. Nobody's getting a smack in the ass anymore and told "stop being so annoying".

Probably because Fennekin was based off a Fennec Fox....

Fennekin IS a Fennic Fox though.
One thing about Fennecs...they are some of the noisiest animals ever, and their noises...are annoying as they can possibly be. Even their "happy sounds" sound as if they are screaming while being murdered.
Not so cute at that point.
Yeah but I still love my baby girl, even if she is anoying af sometimes
Yeah. If they were as quiet as most cats and dogs, they would be amazing, just about perfect. Fennecs literally scream their lungs out at everything (there are some exceptions, different temperments, etc. but it's generally a universal thing with them as you probably know). Sigh, can't have perfection I guess. For me that is the only issue, but it's a pretty big one. It's basically like having a (human) baby 24/7. Cute as can be, but can make you want to rip your hair out sometimes.
Funny thing is they are much quieter as babies. It's when they grow up that they just. don't. stop. ever.
They sound about as annoying as birds. But, I don't mind the noise. I thought it was kinda cute. It would only be annoying if you had a headache.
annoying as this chick's voice?
I dont mind the noise either
I mean they are cute
But i wanna be honest
That noises dont matter for me XD
Yeah i'm going to take my advice from some incoherent, rambling, anime sounding drunk child.

Couldn't watch past 3 seconds of listening to her speak incoherently
Funny, I've talked to half a dozen people who have them as pets, and they said they were lovely.
Any non-domestic animal can become highly stressed in captivity if not properly cared for, but they do just fine if kept by informed, responsible owners.
Hot didn't explain one reason not to own them. You probably said they were cute 20 times.

Zé Mánéu Oh my god, there still people that do t think she's boxxy, I thought they all died in 2012

And you were saying?
Basically this whole video is wrong.
Fennec foxes love humans.
Some people like bugs.
you can feed them raw meat, but must have lots of taurine.
Never feed them grapes.
Or sweet candy like stuff.
I thought the Video was muted, cause my ears dont hear such high frequencies anymore.
Is it cause their "fennecy"? GET IT??? (finicky)
How does this comment not have more upvotes?
Her voice is almost too annoying to watch the whole video.
10 seconds in... i heard her say aminals and i dipped
@Cult_Leader_1334 idc
@Cult_Leader_1334 at least i can say animal. fuck off
Is this boxxy? wtf
+LordEX5 I had a "holy crap" moment as well :o
+LordEX5 Hm... nice rock house mate. She's been a popular youtuber for a long time and graduated from her boxxy character a looong loong time ago. lol
+LordEX5 maybe, but i got a girl like this in my school as well :P
Yes. Good to know she's doing well, LONG LIVE BOXXY.
*Ahem* *Straightens tie*
Yes
Is this lady on something or is she just drunk ?
Wow people were unbelievable harsh for no reason 10 years ago
IS THAT BOXXY?!
+Travis Flagg Yes she is
Travis Flagg Catie Wayne, she's a vlogger, boxxy is a small part of her person
Is she drunk??
lol right? thats what i was thinking.
Me too
Nope, she's just Boxxg. I recommend googling her name... She acted pretty dumb when she was young
I was gonna say maybe she took a hit at the blunt, but drunk works too lol.
I made it 22 seconds into the video before I had to stop. I don't think she could be more annoying if she tried.
"They can easily get stressed out in captivety"
Sounds exactly like my dog ;-;
Any organism can become stressed out in captivity, i guess since im a bit stressed out i gotta go back to the wild right
yes you fucking ignorant teenager, i'll see you in court on the republican right **MY GUY**
Xyliant ??????wut?????
Holy shit that escalated quickly! WTF?! XD
That's kinda unnecessary don't you think?
I don't even think Fennec Foxes should be kept as pets. They are wild animals, and they should be in the wild where they are free, and like it said in this video, they can become incredibly stressed in captivity. To be honest, it makes me angry to see a wild animal in captivity (unless they have been rescued and cannot to released back into the wild) but I hate the fact that people scream out "I WANT A FOX! I WANT A FOX! I WANT A FOX!" I know everyone wants a fox (Well, I wouldn't want a pet fox), But having a wild animal as a pet is torture for the animal.. Keep this in mind before getting a wild animal for a pet! Wild animals should be kept wild and free, because we already have dogs, cats, hamsters and such, so why should we want more? I apologize greatly for this HUUUUUGE comment, but today I feel the need to express my feelings. :)
Dogs were wild animals, cats were wild animals, birds are wild animals, everything we have ever domesticated are wild animals, but do we still keep them, yes
We've already domesticated dogs and cats.. Why the hell do people want to domesticate more? Haven't we got enough?
The Red Fennec Fox No. I want a domesticated GRIZZLY BEAR!
Any animal in captivity can get stressed. Also all dogs at one point were wild but now look...there are a lot in captivity. Chuahuas and german sherpards. The list goes on. So the fact that you just said you hate it when people want wild animals means that you clearly think that people should not own dogs, cats, etc because at one point they were all wild or they are all wild. And also under the constitution of the USA people have the freedom to get and own what they want, whenever they want. Thus your thoughts and opinions that youve just shared mean nothing. Think twice next time before you troll
I'm not being a troll. I'm simply saying that we ALREADY have domestic cats and dogs, so what more could we want?!
Ok‼️
Shortest, weirdest, AND. Most un-informitive video on fennec foxes...🦊‼️
There are no bad pets. Just inexperienced owners.
Frank Suarez To an extent, that's true. However. Big cats? Not good pets all the way around, the cost to do the care justice is astronomical. Same with most primates.
Foxes like these can be pretty destructive, so you wouldn't want it in an apartment (or a house you can't reasonably foolproof). And they need lots of outdoor time and expensive food. Bad? Not exactly, but far better options exist. Unless you're allergic to cats and dogs and want a fuzzy creature you can take for walks.
+DFX2KX You are on the ball about foxes. They love love love to dig, need socialization and attention, let alone a specialized vet and a special diet. It takes a lot of dedication in owning a fox!
DiscordOfSound
that vet cost is expensive. I used to follow a channel some years back, they owned two rescued foxes. The setup they needed was a bit mindboggling. Fennecs aren't quite as bad because they're small, but that vet bill won't pay itself.
sharks with lazers on their friggin' forehead?
chase speer yes!
But I want a fox so bad :(
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domesticated_silver_fox
Might look out for one of them if it has to be one. They are at least bread to be held in captivity...
Just remember : In the end a fox is still a wild animal not like a dog who has been domesticated for centurys. So inform yourself and stay cool before making a decision.
Foxes make fine pets, but its a big responsibility - even moreso than with more domesticated species.
As the person above stated, really need to make sure you're well-informed and up to the task before obtaining one (which, really, is the case for any animal you're taking into your charge).
nilesrock024 Yeah, I know. I've been researching it for several years, and likely won't go out and buy one for another several more, so I've done and will do my research.
I once lived in a house of 5 dogs and 4 cats. I think I could handle at least one of the legal breeds of fox :)
Foxes aren't mentioned to be pets,they're wild animals.Its sad when I see a fox in captivity with no space to run around.IMO
PATRICK JOHNSTON
That's why if you're going to own one you should have enough space for it and know how to take care of it properly. I know someone who owns a cheetah (legally) who was a rescue from a Zoo that was mistreating it's animals and they have acres and acres of farmland and field for it to run around on and it is super happy and content.
The best thing about this video is the comment section. Now I have to view the other videos for the comment sections.
No, they're not always legal to own. They are banned in many states. As for making terrible pets- that depends on the owner. They can be wonderful for some, but then again some people shouldn't even own a goldfish. I have many exotic animals that some would consider "terrible to own". I disagree. But they are entitled to their opinion...
but will it evolve?
Only if you've got the right stone.
They live an average of 6 years in the wild surrounded by predators (stress) and an average of 12-14 years in captivity (less stress).
There is no such thing as terrible pets...only terrible owners who don't know how to share their living space with another creature. There's lots of people who get domesticated animals as is and expect them to do things outside of their nature without any real understanding of the other living being that is under their responsibility regardless of the fact that domesticated animals function well with human beings. To say nobody should get a certain pet because most other people are selfish and thoughtless and make terrible owners isn't fair to those who are intuitive and share a wonderful life with their preferred animal companion. Do I think most people should get a fox? No because not every person is a fox person. But I wouldn't tell a fox person they can't have a pet fox either. That's like saying nobody should have a dog because some people out there are not dog people. We should be educating people about individual animals and what it takes to be a great owner rather than saying an animal is a terrible pet.
Well....I think a shark would probably make a terrible pet. Maybe that's just me.
Well, I think there are terrible "pets" in the sense that not all animals (domestic or otherwise) work in a household... environment. Like a pet wolf would probably do best in a foresty-like outdoor enclusure.
Okay I agree. But what do you classified as a fox person
***** oh than am I a fox person. Hahahaha wait what you describe doesn't exist.
***** omg did i say that omg im sorry thay make sense in Fox planet but not on planet earth. Sorry i forgot you are from planet earth. But you are right i am a fox person soon I'll visit your planet. Goodbye alien.
It's like Boxxy v.2
I'm pretty sure it IS Boxy.
Look at the description, this is Boxxy
You know it's ok to know things, you don't have to pretend to be stupid. People won't think any less of you for being intelligent and it would make watching your videos bearable.
Not only is her voice super annoying, I couldn't even understand her.
so this is what boxxy is doing now O.o
wait so she isn't drunk?
Is this Boxxy?????
Linkzor24 yepp
THIS HAS TO BE BOXXY
This was my thought as well....
It is. Boxxy's real name: Catherine Wayne. Check description.
Im pretty sure she is
4chan thread this shit
You mean foxy
Guys, just because an animal is prone to stress, it doesn't make them terrible pets. Turtles, scorpions, hedgehogs... all really common pets (all of which I've raised) and are all easily stressed out. I don't consider any of them to be terrible pets either.
Also, dafuq you got Boxxy hosting a video for? That is not how you get taken seriously.
How about talking like a grown-up? I s this aimed at the 6-year-old audience?
+diane9247 How about acting like a grown-up? Not being stupid to other people, for not being an average grumpy adult? :)
+diane9247 What the hell is talking like a grown-up? Discussing politics??
+diane9247 in the begininning she says its a casual talk so ya know ..
leslie huang So..is it not being casual? Is it being serious whenever you talk about something?
adult you mean?
Katie. First step is admitting you have a problem.
it does not show how fennec foxes make terrible pets . I do not care about this video i still love fennec foxes .
You dumbass shes not saying they are dumb animals she’s saying they will be stressed and unhappy with their life if they were kept as pets
@@hvkhbojnlinlubobilib3220 If kept in wrong situations- of course. They make HORRIBLE pets for a lot of people, especially wild-caught ones. Captive-bred ones however can be great pets for SOME people. The care is specific and needs to be done correctly.
is she drunk? Stoned? or on too many anti-depressants or anxiety medications?
you would be great with preschoolers! so energetic! overwhelming for this grown-up!
Ed G. She seemed high lmaooo
I feel like this woman’s brain hit 12-13 and was like “I like it here, might stick around at this age for a while.”
HI MY NAME IS BOXXY
Boxy Brown!
10hrs of boxxy can you see.......didnt bother me a bit...all 10hrs, drove my cousin to move out....(not kidding) i consider that a huge win...and would hug this gal if i ever got to meet her, if only for that reason....the fact shes cute and seems to have a great personality(watching her videos that arent boxxy like)... just makes me want to give her a 2nd hug... ;)
.......O_O ...
..like ...whats wrong with her?
ohh noo... fen-nec fox 3.3.3=9/3= 3?!!!
...illuminati
confirmed...
I dont see why they are terrible pets
"aminal"
My sister pronounced it that way when she was a toddler. She also said 'refrigderator'
I'll show you something that's 6 inches
Yeahhhhhhhh
The reason women can't properly judge distances is because men keep trying to convince them that something that is three inches long is six inches long. ;-)
***** You have a point. No reason I can think of that they couldn't properly judge length... ;-)
Damien Brown I had to show my wife your first comment. She is a huge fan of The Big Bang Theory.
No thanks!
take a look at this comment section. youtube used to be this mean everywhere! it's changed, kids, be grateful.
Information-free look-at-me video.
Why is she talking like a third grader?
She's Boxxy. Look her up.
NO IM GETTING ONE AND NO ONE CAN STOP MEH -Rushes to pet shelter-
if you think fennec foxes make terrible pets then I think you'll make a terrible wife lady
CandyCaneDemon 27 lol it is so true
Did you even watch the video? I came into this with the same mindset but after I watched it I was like... oh okay.
can she act like an adult...please?
Is that boxxy!? o.o :D
YES I WAS JUST THINKING THIS
Are you high?
how the fuck can she be that cute ??
Are you Boxxy? or trying to imitate Boxxy.
Edit: Yup it's Boxxy.
I don’t care what you say idiot
right so auto-generated subtitles can't get normal speaking videos right, yet when a drunk, possibly high and talking like a 7 year old women slurs all over the place auto-generated subtitles are just like "yep, this shit makes sense."
WTF
