We raise 3 species of foxes at Oklahoma Wildlife Ranch. Foxes are not a pet for just anyone. They require socialization from an early age. Dogs, which are a common household pet, have been domesticated for more than 30,000 years. Foxes, on the other hand, have only been domesticated since the 1950's. They need consistent love and training. They can be raised indoors but should have an outdoor enclosure where they can run and play and be a fox. Foxes can both dig and climb, so they require an enclosure with a secure top and bottom.
