With over 146 000 followers, Juniper the pet fox is a furry celebrity on Instagram. When you look at that cute grin, it’s not difficult to see why!
Juniper is no ordinary fox, however. She lives with a human mom who she adores playing games with. When she’s not jumping on her bed, she’s running through the house playing Tag.
Natural instincts
Foxes have a very high prey drive, and therefore they react to their natural instincts when they hear noises that resemble the sound of a mouse under the snow or ground. This clip shows little Juniper pouncing on what she thinks is a mouse. So cute!
Says Juniper’s mom, “When she was growing up I would take her everywhere with me. She got really accustomed to car rides and people, she loves both.”
Not an easy task
Raising a fox is not easy, however, and her mom warns that it’s not something to be taken on lightly.
“There is no way to ‘de-scent’ a fox. You cannot keep a fox indoors 24/7… Foxes are destructive, they will destroy things in your house.”
