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.”
