I’m looking for books for information on diet and basic care. I know there isn’t a lot that is specific to Fennec Foxes because they are rare, but are there any great books on raw feeding or wild animal care?
Only professionals need to be handling wild animals. For one, foxes are territorial and will urinate on everything in your house. Fennecs have a natural need to dig and will tear up your backyard and more than likely escape if you don’t put up high enough fences or don’t put them too far down in the yard. Then, there’s the thought of finding a vet that knows about foxes because foxes get different things that dogs do not get. Honestly, only professionals and wild care refuges should be handling these animals because normal people aren’t able to properly care for such a high maintence animal. Trust me, I wanted one a long time ago, but it’s not worth it.
