The little fox, living in the deserts, was called Fenech. The animal is small and very mobile. Scientists still can not come to a consensus, to which detachment Fenech belongs in the hierarchy of animals.
There are two versions: dry foxes or a separate species of Fennecus, which is distinguished not only by the specific appearance and structure of the body, but also by social features. While scientists argue, some lovers of home exotics teach Fenechs to live in captivity. Oddly enough, but it turned out to be much easier than originally intended. Little chanterelles are picky about food and very affectionate. How does Fenech behave at home and what kind of environment needs to be created for its maintenance - we will talk about all this in this article.
General information
Desert miniature foxes have their own characteristics. First born
babies are always white, but over time, the skin becomes fawn or
red. Secondly, Fenech ears can reach 15 centimeters with a body length of 30 centimeters. Thirdly, the animals, despite their small size, are very active and jumping: they can jump up to a height of 70 centimeters. This ability helps the fox to hunt and catch effectively even
the fastest animals.
Fenech at home
As mentioned earlier, this animal coexists perfectly and in captivity. If you take it to your home in childhood, then be prepared that the home phoenix will first need constant attention and even hand feeding. Later, when the fox gets used to it, it will become more independent and less dependent. What conditions must be created to make Fenech at home as comfortable as possible?
- Allocate space for the animal. It is better if it is a separate room, even if it is small. In it, you can try to recreate a natural environment for Fenech. If there is no way to allocate a room for the animal, then build a spacious enclosure in which the fox can play.
- Buy a spacious cage. Even if you took a special place for the animal, you cannot do without it. It will be useful to you in case you leave the animal alone at home.
- Remove all items or objects that may be hazardous to the Fenech from the floor. This is important when you release the animal to run around the apartment. Keep in mind that an uncleaned wire or a bag of groats falling to the floor can become your pet's prey.
- In winter, Fenech at home requires special care and care. Keep the animal only in a heated room, otherwise you run the risk of catching it and even killing it. Most deaths are associated with hypothermia.
What does Fenech eat at home?
- live food (insects, locusts and small rodents);
- raw meat;
- vegetables
- fruit.
Sometimes eggs, fish, milk, kefir can be added to the diet.
So, now you know that the Fenech fox feels great at home, but requires maximum care and maintenance. This information will be useful to you if you still decide to buy such a pet yourself.
