Fe Fennec Foxes are the smallest wild canine species in the world. Their average weight is between 2 1/2 and 3 lbs. They are native to northern Africa where they reside in the harsh Sahara Desert. Fennecs have been raised in captivity in the U.S. since the 1960's and have grown in popularity as house-pets. I have had fennecs since 2001, and have begun to sell my offspring to good homes. Fennecs are charming, amazing and endearing animals that have a way of stealing your heart. Although a higher maintenance pet than a cat or dog, for the right owner they can't be matched. I do not go a day without laughing at their antics, and feeling very lucky to share my life with these awesome little critters! In order for fennecs to be tame, they need to be hand-reared. This entails removing them from the parents at an early age, and feeding them every few hours with a bottle or syringe. I begin to put harnesses on my pups at 5 weeks of age so that it becomes second nature to them by adulthood. I feed canned cat food, dry dog food and a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. My pups are $1000. This includes 2 distemper vaccinations, all needed wormings and a harness. I let the pups go to their new homes at 9 weeks of age. When they are 2 weeks old, I require a $300 deposit to hold them until they are ready. If you are interested in learning more about the fennec fox as a pet or would like to be placed on a waiting list for a pup, please contact me by e-mail at fondasart@hotmail.com or by phone (765)572-2702. nnec Foxes are the smallest wild canine species in the world.
