Had to upload 2 more pics and a video of her smelling me for them to un-ban my post. Fuck reddit.

Even the fox disapproves of that decision.

It's worth asking, though... why do you have a fox? Is it one of those Russian domesticated foxes?

Couldn't upload videos here apparently, this is the best I could do, found my old upload from 3 years ago.

Just a fox that ended up getting a little too much snacks from people at the manned gas station. She'd hang out around the door and after I gave her a sausage for the first time she seemed to get really comfortable with me. She'd walk up and (sometimes) let me pet her for a minute or two.

No, it's not a Russian domesticated fox. Those are silverish and have floppy ears due to domestication. I second your question: how/why do you have a fox? It looks magical.

Maybe to hear the HE HE HE HE HE. It's therapeutic.

They never claimed it was their pet. They just called it their buddy.

This isn't necessarily the case - they have a wild variety of coat colours and markings, ear floppiness is variable. They tend to have slightly wider snoots than their wild cousins.

This probably is still a wild one though.

Source: lived with someone who kept them!

Also curious about why the fox!
