I really want to buy/adopt a red fox kit and I am unwilling to change my mind where can I get one.

It sounds like you have your heart set on this. Have you thought about the fact that having a fox is illegal in most states? You will not be able to bring the fox to a vet for checkups, as they only handle domesticated animals. A fox is a wild animal, he will not listen to commands, go for walks, sleep where you want him to, etc. He will not want to be confined inside a home or in a fenced yard. Instinct will tell him to run away back to the wild.

Hello Jackie where exactly did you get your information? First off foxes are smarter than dogs more agressive and are harder to care for. This is assuming you can even find one. Many local vets will look at your fox. (You may have to mussle it for safety reasons) Foxes will sleep where ever they can get to eat a variety of food that makes them easier to care for and the best thing about them you can use most things for a dog for the fox. Including collars flea meds treats and things of that nature. Call your local petco and ask for the vet area and ask if they would look at it. Where we live there is a Apple Tree local personal owned vet that will look at freakin' bears and also i have asked they will look at a fox. I'm not sure about them being illegal in most states which they very well could be, so before considering anything you would be better off doing much much reseearch.

Not going into alot of detail you can take them for walks it just depends on it's personality. You can't take some dogs for walks either there to aggressive and if your fox get's loose in your area you dont have to worry much about it attacking someone or anything unless it's cornered. You also need to teach it to stay in a yard and you can't train it with the electric flags that you can with a dog. Maybe a tall privacy fence or such. You need to give them plenty of room the more closed in they are and the less you spend around them the more aggressive they are going to get. Same thing with dogs just it takes alot more care for them. I know a few people that have had pet foxes and they even lived with other dogs. Which usually is a big No No. It's just what they grow up in. You hear a few things (maybe more) every year about dangerous dog attacks or "Buck mauls innocent old lady" but in no case have i ever heard of a visicious fox attack. Anything can get used to a home or being caged in but some will take it differently than others. You might get lucky and get one that's perfectly cool with you being around and staying home. Go on Youtube there are some good examples of a "tame" foxes. I'm not a expert on it but my friend said it's more like adopting a friend. There are even care books on keeping pet foxes. There is even a Foxes for Dummies book i saw it on Ebay.
