How Much Does It Cost To Get A Pet Fox

Introduction

A pet fox can make a fun, quirky companion, but it’s important to make sure you’re ready before making such a commitment. While the cost of caring for any animal can vary depending upon their individual needs, there are some basic costs to consider when making the decision about whether or not you’re ready to take on a pet fox. This guide will walk through some of the basics you should keep in mind as you decide if this is the right pet for you and your family.

The Cost Of Getting A Pet Fox

It’s important to remember that pet foxes don’t come cheap. The range of costs for adopting a pet fox can be anywhere from $2,000 to $8,000, depending on where you live and how much you want to spend on your furry friend. If you’re a penny-pincher who wants to adopt a pet fox from an animal shelter instead of buying one through the market, this might be good news for you! But if money isn’t an issue and you want the best care possible for your new companion (and let’s face it—who doesn’t?), then there are some other expenses involved in owning a pet fox that make it more expensive than its wild counterparts:

Annual vaccinations cost around $100 per year
Pet licenses will likely start at around $25 each year and go up depending on where you live

Food And Feeding

How much to feed your fox depends on a few things. First of all, it depends on the breed of fox you have and also how old it is. The average weight of a fox ranges from 2-5 pounds at birth, 6-10 pounds at 4 months old, 15-20 pounds at 1 year old, 20-40 pounds for an adult female and 25-50 pounds for an adult male.

However, there are many variables that can affect how much your pet will eat. If you own multiple foxes then they may need more food since they are bigger animals than cats or dogs and therefore require more nutrients to maintain their bodies’ functions properly. Also if your fox is sick or injured then this may decrease his appetite so he won’t want as much food as usual; however if his condition improves again then be sure to increase his diet gradually over several days until he’s eating normally again (this will prevent any digestive problems).

Licensing and Permits

Licensing and permits are required for all animals. In some states, including New York, a license is required for each individual pet fox. Other states only require one license for your entire household to own multiple pets of any kind. These licenses may be obtained at a local animal shelter or from the state’s department of agriculture office.

Licensing and permits can vary depending on what species you own and where you live, so it’s best to research your specific requirements before bringing home a new foxy friend!

An Annual Wildlife Inspector License

In order to keep a pet fox, you must purchase an Annual Wildlife Inspector License. The cost of this license varies depending on where you live. You can find out how much your state charges for it by visiting the department of fish and wildlife website for your state.

Sometimes, these licenses are also known as permits or certificates. If that’s the case in your area, search for other relevant terms to find out where you can buy one.

You have several options when it comes time to pay for an annual wildlife inspector license:

Mail in payment with form FWS-7 (available at most post offices) or pay online;
Call customer service at 866-873-6999; or
Visit one of their offices in person and pay with cash or check (no credit cards).

Owning a pet fox is fun, but it’s also very expensive.

Owning a pet fox is fun, but it’s also very expensive. You’ll need to budget for the following expenses:

Feeding your pet fox: A healthy adult fox eats about 1 cup of dog food per day. Smaller dogs eat half that amount and puppies require even less. If you want to feed your pet a meat-based diet instead of kibble, you can expect to spend anywhere from $3-$6 per pound for chicken parts or other meats (about $12-$24 per week).
Licensing and permits: Most states require some sort of license for owning exotic animals like foxes; fees vary from state to state but generally range between $10-$100 annually (sometimes more) depending on the animal’s type and size. Some cities also have additional licensing requirements that may apply if they’re within city limits; these vary as well but are typically much lower than those charged by state governments. Additionally, many states require all captive wildlife owners (including exotic pet owners) to hold annual inspections conducted by licensed veterinarians who specialize in wildlife medicine; this fee tends to run somewhere between $50-$150 each year with most falling closer towards the lower end since most veterinarians charge less than that anyway!
