The Silver Fox
The booklet I read to research this post was Exotic Pets - The Domesticated Silver Fox by Vasanth Simon which is quite interesting & which I downloaded for free from Kindle. This booklet is only 2 pages but tells you pretty much everything you need to know. They are bred in Russia originally from 100 vixens & 30 males & 45,000 offspring were produced & only the ones with tame charasterics were selected. To buy one they start at $5,950 but they are vaccinated and wormed. They can be kept indoors or outdoors but if you keep one in a cage it may dig its way out. You can feed it on tinned dog food and they recommend you give it some vegetables. Also if you keep one outside you must bring it in if it rains. I'm tempted to get one of these but I think the price tag is rather hefty. Finally they are vaccinated against rabies so at least they don't have to be quarantined for 6 months which is what they do in britain.
