An old picture I have of a fox I encountered in camp.

    The one I visited only did the visitor thing a few times a year as fundraisers, and even then it was up to the animal (wolves and wolf mixes in this case) to even be visible to us. A few came out, some were interested and more tame, and others were only glimpsed during feeding.

    Many were either injured or too old to be released.

    The main things with keeping these as pets is being aware that tame is not the same as domesticated, and also to make sure even legal in your area to keep as a pet.

      Yeah for sure. The last one I saw was a farm that at some point was overtaken by city sprawl, to stay afloat they made like a kids school, do like nature stuff and maple syrup operations and charge people to walk through there. They had a bobcat, some raptors and all sorts of stuff in these maybe 50x100 ft fenced in areas, with an out of sight place to retreat to, but still. Being alone, all day every day, is an ill fate.
