Say Hi to little baby foxie ASRIEL!
Arrived home with the new baby fox late last night, so TODAY is his first day here at his new home! He is a White Mark (a red fox phase), from a broker in Pennsylvania.. but donated to the Channel thanks to the generosity of Tiny Tracks' Dave and Tammy! http://www.tinytracksexoticanimals.com/
This little boy fox is 5 weeks old... we're figuring he was born April 15th, 2016! I am just amazed how tame he is, given I can pick him up and hold him and pet him without any signs of aggression (RonRon never let me pick him up, even as a baby).
He is still eating a mixture of special fox milk powder formula, which gets mixed with a wet canned dog food, for another week or two, before starting on Blue Buffalo Wilderness dry food (which RonRon used for years).

Asriel is a tame American-bred red fox of the White Mark color phase. He is from a dealer in Pennsylvania, but made available to us by Dave and Tammy of Tiny Tracks, a breeder which I highly recommend: http://www.tinytracksexoticanimals.com/
He will enjoy a large outdoor habitat and also a small indoor caged spot in my living room. Foxes are said to make 'bad' pets, but I would rather say foxes make wonderful pets!... just rather destructive, moody pets, NOT FOR CHILDREN (they BITE... soft, medium, AND HARD... you have to learn exactly when to stop petting them!).
Every potential fox owner/companion MUST have an outdoor pen built fox-proof; here's some examples--- http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2812518/ http://raptor-painter.deviantart.com/art/Building-a-better-fox-kennel-5-203764564
