Can you even keep them as pets?Fennecs are nocturnal foxes indigenous to the Sahara, not sure if it's legal or not, but wouldn't think it would be fair to keep one as a pet, as they are out and about when we're sleeping and it wouldn't be right to keep them up during the dayIs it legal to have a pet fennec in the state of California. Can you even keep them as pets?It is illegal to keep fennec's as pets...



Also...it just isn't right that just because you find something cute, youimmediatelyy want to buy it, fennecs belong in their natural habitat, with other fennecs, and besides i wouldn't of thought a fennec would make a good pet anyway, and it would be a lot of work...it'd just end up neglected..



Sorry but that is my opinion...why don't you get a cat or dog...they're good pets and they're cute!



Hope i helped...
