Thank you for your comments and faves

INFO ABOUT THE ANIMAL:
Name: Fennec fox (Vulpes zerda or fennecus zerda)
Location: Sahara Desert - North Africa and Sinai
Size: 40 cm long body + 25 cm long tail weight: 1,5 kg
Diet: rodents, insects, birds, eggs, desert vegetation (fruit, roots, berries)
Conservation status: Least Concern
Interesting facts: female fox gives birth to 2-5 kits and both parents then take care of the babies: mother does not allow the male to come closer to cubs, but the male still brings her some food | fennec foxes use their huge ears for good hearing and also for thermoregulation! | fennec foxes have fur on their paws, so they can run on hot sand | fennec foxes have black tips on their tails | fennec foxes are mostly active during night | fennec fox is said to be the only species of fox, which can be kept as real domestical pet | fennec foxes are surprisingly swift, as they can run fast and jump very hight | fennec foxes are the smallest species of all foxes | chihuahuas (dogs) are NOT related to fennec foxes, athough some people think so!
ZOO: in the Czech republic, fennec fox is kept in ZOO Prague, ZOO Olomouc and ZOO Dvur Kralove nad Labem.

Me too. I wish I had one as a pet. It'd never stop being fun.

Yeah if I had one as a pet that would be awesome too. I was thinking about either a fennec, ferret, skunk, or possibly adopting my friend's 20ft Burmese Python...though I don't know how much I'd enjoy it...and they can be a little scary, not because of how they look or anything, but because they can eat cows whole...D:

Yeah. I'd say the Python isn't a good idea. You could never have another pet while it's around and then you have to feed it live mice and rats. Ew. Plus that eats into your budget. My sister-in-laws family had a de-scented skunk though.
