Uma raposa chamada Juniper, que é criada como animal de estimação, está ganhando fãs no Instagram. As fotos, que mostram o crescimento e desenvolvimento da 'raposa mais feliz do mundo', já conquistaram mais de 96 mil seguidores na rede social.
Ao Bored Panda, a dona de Juniper contou que é "extremamente difícil criar uma raposa" e relatou algumas experiências boas.
"Quando ela estava crescendo, eu a levava para todos os lugares comigo, então ela ficou muito acostumada a passeios de carro e às pessoas - ela ama essas coisas", afirma ela". "Sua brincadeira favorita é ter alguém correndo atrás dela pela casa e, em seguida, virar e correr para longe para que ela possa perseguir de volta. É uma brincadeirinha fofa".
Too full to move

Facts: Foxes are not like owning a dog or cat. Foxes smell. Bad. Their urine and feces smell like skunk mixed with ammonia. There is no way to “de-scent” a fox. You cannot keep a fox indoors 24/7.They need an enclosure no less than 10′x10′ for ONE fox (Seriously.)
Foxes are destructive, they will destroy things in your house. Foxes must be fed some raw meats and bone content in their diet. They also need taurine, or they can go blind, suffer from seizures, and even die. you get a fox, you need to find a vet willing to treat one. Most vets will not treat foxes. Foxes are ILLEGAL in many areas. Just because they are legal in your state, does not mean the same is true for your city .-There is no recognized rabies vaccine for foxes.If you are renting the property you live in/on, do NOT GET A FOX. Foxes cannot be boarded or sent to “doggy daycare”. Kiss your vacations goodbye.
-Foxes do not always “potty train”. Some have success with a litter box, but others find that it is impossible. Even if you do train them, they will likely still mark or happy pee, which results in a skunky, musty odor. -Foxes are easily stressed by new situations and people. They usually bond to one person and find exposure to new people and loud noises to be frightening. -Foxes do not always get along with dogs, and in fact, dogs are pretty likely to hate them.
-Some foxes get aggressive despite the best efforts of their owners. Food aggression is a huge issue. I’ve seen excellent owners struggle and struggle with aggression that can lead to bites. -Foxes and kids are a bad, bad idea. So, if you plan on having children your fox either needs to be 100% outside in a nice BIG enclosure, or you need to not have one at all. -Foxes go through a stage known as “the October crazies”. During this period they become standoffish and occasionally very aggressive. Foxes can make excellent companions and it is nice to serve as an ambassador for such a misunderstood and beautiful creature. But they are not for everyone. Caption:@vaderfox
