Who's getting a fox this year? 2016

[Ash]

Send them an email and let them know. Or PM "Daisy" on here. "Daisy" is Dave from Tiny Tracks. He is usually very good about sending a response when he has time. It'll be a short response (he's an older guy and is busy, so doesn't chat much online, lol), but it will give him a head's up that your phone is wonky.

Well after updating the phone it doesn't seem to be having problems any more that I know of..
When the kits are born by the way, will they be posted on the nursery page?

Hi everyone! I'm new here, my name is Emily and my husband and I are planning to get a kit this spring. I had a silver fox many years ago and have always wanted another, but apartment living doesn't work too well with foxes. We've been in our house for almost 4 years and last year started looking into it. Looking for breeders, all that good stuff. The vet who saw my silver is actually still at the same clinic so that is awesome for me! I'm hoping to get a marble, don't really have a sex preference at this point. I am extremely nervous about this, it's been a long time!

Congrats. It is a bit nerve wracking even when you are prepared.

Super exciting! I'm glad you waited until the appropriate time to get a fox. That's awesome. You will absolutely love your new little angel. Marbles are pretty. :) I really like them a lot.

Do you know where you'll be getting your fox from? It must be pretty soon. Can't believe it's already March.

Thanks! The breeder I had gotten my first fox from is no longer in business as far as I can tell, so I had to start over. That breeder had been about an hour away from me, I didn't think I'd get that lucky again but had actually found several within driving distance. The one I decided to go with has been very talkative and open to sharing about his foxes which I like. I have a deposit down and the litters should be born in the next week or so. I am so nervous and impatient!!

Mom ate her kits :( But if she repeats history she may have a successful litter later so I'll just have to wait and see.

That sucks. Waiting when you have an empty enclosure ready is more difficult than when you are all busy preparing accommodations

Here's hoping history repeats itself.

Yeah a late season baby would be better than staring at a empty cage for a whole year. And I have to still clean my empty cage too cuz of anteaters.

[Ash]

I'm sorry. That really stinks... I'm sure it's disappointing, but the next litter will have your baby. And it will be just right for you.

[juniper707]

Oh no, I'm so sorry!

[TamanduaGirl]

Thank you. I guess one plus would be that getting a late summer baby would mean a young fennec to keep me entertained during the winter.

[KaitouCat]

Oh man that really stinks, I'm sorry for your loss! So many people loosing pets. D:


On a happier note, according to the Tiny Tracks webpage they're starting to have red fox type babies and they'll be ready in April! So much excitement, soon I shall know if it will be this year or next year. <3
The puppies they recently posted up are pretty darling too.~

Also got an email from Hill View whom I asked to be on a wait list around summer of last year about their kits being born too.. They didn't require a deposit upfront so I wasn't sure if I was legibly on a list so I asked them back in December to double check/confirm with no response so I went to Tiny Tracks. I would have loved to have gone with HillView if I had the option still because they're closer and in Ohio. D:
I'm not mad at them nor blame them however. I understand it was likely a busy time of year for them. I just feel bad that I'm not able to go to them even when I had asked to be on their list first.

[TamanduaGirl]

Thank you. Though not near as bad as loosing a pet since I didn't know him or her yet.

Everything happens for a reason so I am sure when you get your kit s/he will be freaking amazing!
I mean look how long I waited for Jager and look how amazing he has turned out to be :-).
