Instructions
Step 1
If you decide to have a fox, then it is better to buy a young individual. The smaller the animal, the easier it will be to tame it.
Step 2
Bring the fox home. Let her calm down, because any change of place is stress for the animal. Give the chanterelle 2-3 days to adapt. She must get used to the new environment, to new people and new smells. Protect the fox from sharp, annoying sounds, do not frighten the animal with spontaneous movements near the cage.
Step 3
After your pet has settled down in a new environment, start the taming process. However, remember that the fox is a predator with a quick reaction and sharp teeth. Frightened, she can use them.
If you have been with friends who keep a dog, cat or bird, you have particles of the smell of these animals left on you, then the fox can also react aggressively to this.
Step 4
The way to tame a fox itself is quite simple, but requires a fair amount of patience. The domestication process is based on the establishment of a trusting relationship between a person and an animal. This effect is achieved through feed and other rewards.
Step 5
When the fox is used to you and is no longer afraid, start feeding it from your hands. At first, she will only look at the food in your hands from afar, it may take several days before she dares to come closer. The self-preservation instinct of predators is very strong.
For your own safety, use heavy-duty gloves. A fox, having eaten a treat prepared for her, may decide to taste your hand.
Step 6
Keep your hand with the food motionless, move slowly. Repeat this procedure every day, after 3-4 weeks your pet will not only eat out of your hands, but will also let itself be stroked.
Step 7
When taming a fox, call her name. If after you called her, the fox turned around and looked at you, then you have achieved the desired result.
Once you have established a relationship of trust, you can release the fox and play with it. The tame fox will be a great friend for you and your children.
