Fennec Fox. Fennec Fox Owners Manual. Fennec Fox care, costs, pros and cons, training, health and feeding. - Paperback

by Edward Eldington (Author)

The Fennec Fox or Desert Fox hails from various regions of North Africa and Asia. Their natural habitat is deserts or very arid regions and their bodies have evolved to deal with the heat and lack of water. They are the smallest fox species in the world and, in terms of their appearance, they are characterised by their large, bat-like ears. This book will introduce you to these little foxes by discussing their appearance and biology, typical behaviour, reproduction, their feeding needs, socialisation and bonding, how to (try to) train them and what makes these bundles of energy both fascinating and unique. It will also tell you what you need to know in order to decide whether or not this is the pet for you and, if it is, where to buy one, how to select your fox, what you need to buy before you bring it home, and how to take proper care of it. The owner must know what these canids need with regards to their environment. The cage, enclosure and the necessary equipment is examined as these all impact on the health and happiness of fennecs. The Fennec Fox is susceptible to the same bacterial, parasitic and fungal infections and infestations that domestic dogs may contract. Anyone who is serious about owning one needs to know what to look for and how to deal with common conditions. There is also information about diseases one can catch from a fox or infect a fox with. If you are one of those individuals who commits to owning and caring a Fennec Fox, you will be rewarded by having a pet that is fascinating, unpredictable, intelligent, fun and beautiful... but be ready for anything as they are athletic balls of energy. Covered in this book: - Appearance - Biology - Buying - Costs - Essential equipment - Feeding - Grooming - Health - History - Live expectancy - Myths & misunderstandings - Personality - Pros and cons - Reproduction - Social Behaviour - Socialising - Training ...... and much more
