[@sickofstupidppl6969]

Thank you. Raising a fox is not like adopting a NORMAL dog or cat. OR, a child - no matter how adorable.. Like a child, (or pet), this is a lifelong commitment. If you do not have the temperament, the patience, the dedication to adopt a child with ADHD, Down's Syndrome, Asperger's Syndrome, etc., you do not have the fortitude to raise a wild animal. Captive-bred Loki is living the best life possible for a "domesticated" fox and we all enjoy watching him. But, his Daddy's life and household revolve around Loki who does give back to his Daddy all the love he can - being a wild animal. But, this ain't cheap. In time or money. So............ for those of you who can't do what Loki's Daddy is doing but still say "I want a fox," think about what you can REALLY do for the animals, either wild or domesticated, who need you - donation of time or money. Sorry. Rant over. I've just seen too much "I want" over "they need" and I go off the deep end. I'll shut up now...............

[@doodad77]

Pls, your advice is worthwhile & I'm sure you had more information to provide. There is much worry among the responsibility. I've indicated this wisdom & warnings could apply to many dog breeds that people consider but then become overwhelmed or disappointed & tragically abandon.

[@sickofstupidppl6969]

Don Sexton: YES!!! For example, my daughter is owned by a Shiba Inu. Cutest dog in the world & I love her to death but, if you think that you are getting a dog with a temperament of a lab or a poodle, forget about it. IF you do your research, you will be informed that Shiba Inus aren't a good fit for novice dog owners but so many people think "hey, I've had dogs before" and go for the "cute factor." Hence, the Shiba Inu rescue sites with babies in need before they reach the age of two. What Loki's Daddy is doing is fantastic - rescue from a pet store who (for profit) rescued from a "fur trader" but it is the "I want" factor that concerns me. Just because "you want" and that you can afford, doesn't mean that "you should."

[@doodad77]

sickof stupidppl Shiba Inu is among my favorite breeds along with Akita. Aren't they mellow, dignified, & as energetic as you want but adaptable? Was "Hachiko" any influence on your choice? I can't remember if he was a Shiba or Akita, even though I actually saw the memorial at Shibuya. My sister has an Akita, he's massive but extremely gentle. When I visit, Roman's always willing for roaming with me.

[@sickofstupidppl6969]

Hachiko was an Akita (one of only 30 purebred Akitas at the time) but I believe that a Shiba puppy was used at the beginning of the movie with Richard Gere. My daughter has never seen the movie so it had no influence on her choice. I don't know much about Akitas but my daughter did her RESEARCH on Shiba Inus and found that Bentley (my grand-dogger) would fit her personality and life-style. Mellow? When she wants to be. (Ever hear a Shiba Scream?) Dignified? Much like a cat. (Can have a F-U personality.) Energetic? An off-leash Shiba is the precursor to a "Lost Dog" poster. Like Loki, any animal has to be respected for the animal that it is - not what you want it to be. Excuse me, did I say RESEARCH loud enough for everybody?

[@doodad77]

sickof stupidppl My direct experience with an Akita was with Roman, but I did not live with him all the time although those character qualities I indicated applied to him. I had a distant friend in Japan that had a Shiba pup, but I did not get to see it mature. Yes, the RESEARCH is available via the www so people are fortunate for that.

Social Justice Warrior You're so sweet,all animals at one time were wildlife until humans wanted either company or protection or to hunt with. I've had several snakes over the past 30 years. I have a painted turtle now that I rescued. I grew up in the country and have had geese for pets and also two raccoons from birth, unfortunately their Momma was killed by a car. I had one for 8years the other for 11. The vet. would stop by about once a week to see my Pop he'd also give them shots and vaccinate them. They both loved everyone and they only went in a giant cage at night to protect them. I took them to school several times and let them walk around our class rooms. I forgot I also had a crow that my uncle caught in a muskrat trap. It had a broken wing, after about 9 months or so he could fly again after eating good and having his wing doctored up. Humans dominant over every other animal and mammal. I actually saw people crying in front of a slaughtering market, hundreds were protesting violently and some were trying to feed and water the animals on the trucks coming in. I guess they wanted to fatten them up for slaughtering. It's funny how some people protest anything they don't agree with.

Can I just ask all of you with hateful comments to knock it off!!!????!!! Loki is a rescue! If not for Noel, Loki would be a peice of clothing! Loki never was, and isn't wild. He's never lived like a normal fox. Yes, he still has his natural instincts, but this is nothing compared to any other fox you could have as a pet. And why would you want as a pet, yes they are adorable and I love them too, but they aren't domesticated. Again: LOKI IS A RESCUE! So no, he is mot suffering, no he can't be released, no it's not torture, yes he is happy. Loki is in a fine condition and loves his owner!

That is a perfect description of Loki and a fox overall, he has gotten me to where I had to stitch myself up.. it was putting on the harness he got me with his back teeth and I had a nice gash on my hand. He did not do it out of anger he was trying to get my hand off of him, which worked by the way lol :) :)

Oh yeah I forgot he would get violent. You said he was doing a bit better with the outside however didn't you? Sorry haven't watched videos in a few weeks but have you tried harnesses that clip on?

Thanks for posting a video like this. I see far too many people on message boards and comment sections wanting a pet fox because they've been told it's like "a mix of a cat and dog" and only see videos of the animal exhibiting "cute" behavior. In fact, I've actually met a couple people on message boards who OWN/'d a fox that they bought on impulse... Never ends well, and I feel sorry for both the fox and human involved. The exotic pet community needs a lot more videos showcasing the hardships and dedication owning an animal like a fox requires... Your channel is great!

[@LokitheRedFox]

Thank you and what you said EXACTLY describes the experiences that I have seen and heard of. Everyone shows the best part of their cute fox and the miss direction of it is a cat-dog, which it is but that is only 30% of the thinking of the fox.

[@jessvagnar4957]

All I saw was him either being a bad fox owner or doing dumb things for publicity. You'd think he's keep his keys/phone stashed, and not do things like put pizza on the counter edge! Using words like no and stop so many times without enforcing it also doesn't help. That latter part depends on the fox itself, some are somewhat trainable, others aren't.

[@AmoebaMan23]

Even for a dog (which I imagine are much more compliant) he's an abominable trainer. Animals learn by associating actions with consequences, and stern words aren't consequences.

***** He can "train" his fox however he chooses, I have no problem with that. The consequences are on him. I do, however, have a problem with him presenting himself as an example of how to train an animal, because now his bad example is going to wind up screwing over other peoples' homes and pets.

[@roscoedash6673]

I look at it like they're animals and the reality is their lives would be shittier in the wild 9 times out of 10. Domesticating the first cats and dogs probably wasn't too pretty either but we all turn a blind eye to that because "out of sight, out of mind".

[@britneyzachary8648]

I am not a fox owner, so certainly not claiming to have any more knowledge than someone who has experience with foxes. I did just want to point out that the description box says this is a compilation of Loki 'misbehaving' over the last year and a half. So perhaps not a representation of his life all the time, he specifically chose these clips to show the parts that aren't as fun for people who want a fox and don't understand how they are different than a cat or a dog.

"Swiper no swiping!"

[@gulfbeach47]

I have a male and female Grey Fox living by my home and they visit most every day. For 5 years I have enjoyed studying and photographing them and their babies. One year they had 8 cubs! What a joy to experience. Yes, they will ''mark'' (pee) all over, marking their territory. These are always walking off with a pair of flip-flops that I keep at the front door, plus they leave a squirt on them to let me know who took them:) Foxes love the outdoors. As much as I enjoy them and wish I had one as a pet, I know that they need the outdoors (Just like elephants and other animals at the circus and zoos) I'm sure you are very good to your fox, but I cannot imagine keeping one in a home, especially as small as yours and with no 4 legged companion. Depressed after watching this video. At your link you state, ''Adult Foxes are solitary animals, and live alone except during mating season.'' NOT always true. Having studied them, rather then reading from links...Foxes are usually monogamous. They are solitary when they hunt. The pair that lives by me have been together ever since I gained their trust 5 years ago. They use the same den every year. When the pups/kits get around 6 months old, they head out to start their own family. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_fox/grayfox.htm Rarely have I seen cubs from one year come back to visit the parents, but I have seen it. One time as I watched, I noticed the fox wag its tail like a dog, as it greeted the parents and its new cubs. It was the only time I have seen one wag its tail. Does Loki get to go outside much? Have you ever tried taking it for a walk in the woods, using a harness? Humans and pets love nature. I also live in Florida and there should be some woods near your city. Can Loki eat mice, crickets or other ''live things'' that wild Red Foxes enjoy or is Loki's diet messed up from generations of captivity? I was thinking that it might enjoy the chase. As I type this, there are 5 of them laying in my yard...free to come and go as they please.

[@igirisuchan7361]

The first few minutes I watched this video, I was also like "Oh my god, I want a fox! It's so cute!". ... I still think so BUT you really have to take MUCH responsibility and patience to raise one. Not to mention the money you have so save to make a comfortable home for a fox. Foxes are wild and playful individual animals which can be cute of course, but in the video you can see what kind of mess a fox can do which is actually bad for the animal (like chewing and try swallowing the roll of tape) In my mind, I'd love to own a fox, but in reality, I'd be very insecure to do so...

[@VikoTheBassist]

IgirisuChan If you want a fox, buy a domesticated fox. This is a wild fox

[@The_Original_Drex]

IgirisuChan just treat Abby fox like an actual dog, become the dominant individual

[@crystalwaters7989]

IgirisuChan when it comes to things being chewed and swallowed (and no i do not own a fox, i kinda want to but these are just ideas im pitching) you could try keeping things in cabinets or above jumping reach. as for the animal being able to get a door ir cabinet open, there are an array of childproofing devices out there that can be used for keeping door and cabinets from being easily opened. by using some of these, the risk of nonedibles becoming edibles becomes greatly reduced as the fox would have less access to nonedible items. as for things like food being stolen, well, just put the food farther back on the counter or closer to your person so the fox cant take it nearly as easily.

[@kazuichi7558]

[@neralescent3780]

ReaperGrim do you know anything about the history of this fox?

[@ReaperGrim97]

nope is there something particularly game changing I should know

[@Soulllesss]

He saved Loki (name of the fox) from a fur farm that had been breeding them in captivity for an extremely long time, therefore Loki had a very slim chance of surviving in the wild. And being kept in captivity is better than slowly dying in the wild or being turned into a fur coat. Foxes actually live longer in captivity than in the wild anyway but yes, one can argue that's just how nature goes. But in this situation, I think taking Loki in was the right thing to do.

[@ReaperGrim97]

It is understandable that at first the fox would have not survived I have seen urban foxes dumped in the wild many times and starve to death but it is also possible for foxes to learn hunt from people so that they can be released again because all foxes are natural killers and dogs are just as capable of doing the same thing once they learn how to hunt they will live feral if they get lost because they know how to

[@Soulllesss]

ReaperGrim Loki comes from a family kept in captivity for over 9 generations (according to the uploader) so I think it's safe to say that he wouldn't have a chance. Even wild foxes have a very slim chance of survival in the wild, with a lot of them not surviving more than a year, so how long do you think Loki (an animal which is from a breed kept in captivity for 9 generations) would last?

In general he seems well adapted to "domestic(ish)" life. Most wild animals do not recondition well to a life of inhibition and confinement... Much better for a wild critter to live happily in a small home than for them to be in a zoo without any bond with their gawkers.

[@RomrotMechanikos]

+Jessie Garner Actually I'm fine with domesticated foxes, but it's true they are outdoor animals. The fox needs to have an outdoor enclosure. if you don't live on a couple acre property where you could provide a fenced in area for the fox, you probably shouldn't own a fox.

I thought she was going to die, but everyday she's getting better although blind in one eye. I'm so glad that I passed by that road otherwise she certainly would have died. We have allot of foxes and boar around here and I actually feed a bigger fox by a creek and I have filmed him with my trailcam..

I hate when people say this. Animals has an innate nature to survive in their natural habitat! It's how they were built. Even if he's never been in the wild before, he has the INSTINCT to adjust and adapt to being in the wild because that's what they were built and made to do! People use any excuse outside of terminal illness to have an animal captive. He belongs in the wild!

[@MJKarkoska]

This comment indicates that you do not know anything about animal behavior. Read Jen's comment. Have you never wondered why animals need mothers in the first place? It is not just because they are too little to hunt, as many animals are not carnivorous, yet they still undergo a rearing process. This is partly because many animals have to be taught to find food/hunt. Instinct does not tell them what is poisonous for instance. I think you are misunderstanding the concept of instinct, and how it works in various animals. And then there is the fact that instinct does not always have the upper hand. Look at humans, where our social constructs, our reasoning ability, etc., overpower our instincts every day. The entire concept of something like marriage is completely contrary to instinct. But I'm getting off the point. Have you not considered the fact that re-introduction programs take time, and that animals who were raised in captivity are rarely just released into the wild to fend for themselves? Given the prevalence of programming on channels like Discovery, Natgeo, etc., this is probably common knowledge, or at least should be for someone who thinks they know enough to berate others about this particular topic. My point is that the fact that these are structured programs, as opposed to an affair that you knock out in an hour by backing up a cage up to the local woods, as there are many things that must usually come before that. Given your assessment, all of the countless years of experience in the field, as well as academically, learning about things like biology, ecology, zoology, amongst the thousands of individuals in these fields, must be incorrect, and it must be a load off their minds to learn that none of that is necessary. Just throw the animals in the wild. Instinct will take care of them. /sarcasm. And look, it is nothing personal against you. The reason that I get annoyed at opinions like yours is because there are people who will assume you know what you are talking about, and will act on your advice; advice which is just generally wrong. So people need to stop and think about how they might be hurting animals by giving false information, because there are people who will act on it.

Well, Loki as a Fox can deside if he likes it ouside himself. I think he should get an opion. Even one hour early in the morning or late at night when temperatures are lower outside can do wonders - Loki can smell all the beautifull odeurs of plants and flowers, enjoy looking and birds and digging the ground. According to statistic from Ocotber to April temperatures are comfortable in Florida: 75F° -66F°-...72F°. I hope that he will enlarge his universe soon, coming in direct contact with nature:) Good luck to Loki!

[@AnnaVanDensky]

Well, according to the US official statistics it is not like in an oven in Florida all year round. There are periods of lesser heat, comparable to summer time in the Northern States, where foxes habitat is. So it is a matter of accepting the fact, that inhaling smells of fresh wind is more attractive to fox that odours of soap and other cleaning detergents inside the tidy place. I feel sorry for the fox, because even prisoners have a chance for a walk in fresh air. But this poor chap is doomed to sit inside his entire existence, deprived of joy meeting nature he belongs to.

[@MrStrongmuscle]

Silver The Riolu Im sorry Silver, foxes need hundreds of acres of land. Why do you think they so hyper. They need that type of energy to scavenge. They are animals, even dogs need to get out of the house and do a huge amount of exercise. Otherwise they get fat, and lazy. Most people don't know how to take care of animals. Animals are not to be kept if you cannot understand their needs. Im not saying you can't domesticate animals, you just have to understand their nature. Being kept in a house all day, is not even natural for a human being or any animal for that fact. Thats what they are doing to this fox, it's inside a small house all day, day after day, that is sick im sorry. That fox actually tries to bite their owner. It's obvious to me that they are abusing this animal by keeping it enclosed.
