If it was an American fox it probably wouldve shot you

Or Dick Cheney would have shot you while feeding it.

Don't feed wildlife...

Woke up to one of them "barking" right outside my window last night at 3am. It was the worst sound I've ever heard.

Don't feed wildlife. Number 1 rule of encountering wildlife.

You now have rabies

That one ain't rabies or scab infested.

Atleast she didn't try bite my mouth off or claw my eyes out, so I think we're cool!

Rabies would be foaming and drooling and bizarre aggressive behavior.

Off topic don't feed pigeons they carry up to 60 diseases( source : studying microbiology this summer)

Finland has been officially free from rabies since 1991

I love foxes but I was also warned about the rabies thing... why is it so prevalent in foxes?
AltCaledor
Finnish foxes don't have rabies
Queefsharts
They just really like it is all.
bizzarotime
So there are several strains of rabies. Foxes, racoons, skunks, and bats happen to make up a good portion of american wildlife...1
bizzarotime
Another fun fact, racoons are more susceptible to rabies and distemper. Not parvo though, go figure.
Cheekymonkey82
Another fun fact opossums are immune to rabies

Shame on you! Do NOT feed wild animals! "City" or not!
idieeverytime
Why are we feeding wild animals again?
onkko
https://yle.fi/uutiset/3-9615432 its "good to have" in cities. Put that in google translate.

That was an great article, thank you!

I know we shouldn't but she was already eating out of trash bins. Also she was cute as heck!
Scamsquatch
So, you should be scaring her away from trash bins. You should not be encouraging the behaviour further.
ImightLikeTrains
It's a city fox, that's how it survives. Kinda same that I would come scaring you when you try eat cookies in your bed.
GigavoltFox
Tell her I said hello!

I'll do that!

Who the fuck is upvoting this?? Don't feed wild animals!

I also have a semi tame fox where I live, I hand feed it, and even gets to touch it while it eats, it took me 3 month to get to that point
ImightLikeTrains
Living the dream I see! This one was also pretty shy, took two days to convince her to eat from my hand.
GuW69
The eating from the hand is the easy part, petting it requires trust, PS I also got bitten in my thumb, but just a friendly nibble.
ImightLikeTrains
I sure believe that! Imo the nibble is just cute
bobhole
Open palm feeding you doink. That's how you get nipped...

You doink. I'm gonna use that

She actually gave my thumb a little nibble, but I call that bonding.

Where in Finland? Theres a lady missing her fox in Norway. Instagram is Aylathefox
SamBamZombie
Now looking at pics it's probably not her, but any of you Nords keep an eye out!
ImightLikeTrains
It was near Helsinki, so not the same fox. I respect your concern tho!
onkko
I saw one fox in way to Tromsö, gave it sausage. It was 1998 tho so probably not same.
TheLordOfMagic
What yah feed them
ImightLikeTrains
She really liked cherries!
TheLordOfMagic
Be careful feeding them too many cherries. Cherries contain trace amounts of cyanide that can be harmful if she consumes too many of them.
ImightLikeTrains
No worries gave her only a few
TrustMeImmaDogtor
Is this a wild fox?
ImightLikeTrains
Yeah man, that's what makes it even more awesome!
TrustMeImmaDogtor
Me thinking about not being able to hug all the foxes...
TrustMeImmaDogtor
They may approach another human with more confidence, thinking food is available. That can get them killed.
onkko
Finland has foxes in cities and they are beneficial and hunting/killing non "outlaw" animals is illegal in cities.
onkko
And people/goverment are chill about those, no rabies in finland and they keep rabbits etc in bay.
TrustMeImmaDogtor
It's a cool experience, for sure! Having direct contact with wild animals actually threatens their lives though.
ImightLikeTrains
As I been saying that it's a Finnish cityfox so it's a bit different story. Also the harm is pretty much already done when she comes up tome
Molvanian
You know I am required by internet law to be the asshole that tells you not to feed wild animals, no matter how adorable, right?
ImightLikeTrains
You have all the right to be as asshole as you desire, but I also want to point out that it's a Finnish cityfox so it's a bit different.
Molvanian
You... have foxes in your cities instead of pigeons? I am in the wrong country.
onkko
We have pigeons too, we hope foxes eat those tho :)
scalpcreek
We have native grey foxes in Texas USA and feed them raw chicken on a rock, but not by hand.
ImightLikeTrains
That's awesome!
onkko
Now they have salmonella and you have rabies
nijlonkai
My mom had a den in her backyard and we'd leave eggs for them sometime. They'd bark when they were hungry and wanted us to bring some out.
scalpcreek
our foxes would also bark when they were hungry after dark, it was so funny, like they were talking to us! :)
nijlonkai
Awesome! It was so surprising the first time I heard it.
scalpcreek
dances with foxes! LOL
AusSpyder
As someone who's had a fox as a pet, to people who currently want one. They stink. All the time. You can't get rid of the stink ever.
AusSpyder
Not such a problem for an outdoor animal, but you won't get the smell out of your couch easily if you let it inside. Also they bite a lot.
ImightLikeTrains
Thought it would be such a nice pet, but that what I've been hearing, is it really that bad?
AusSpyder
Eh, they're like a cross between a nippy jack Russel and a cat. They're more playful and obedient than a cat, less than a dog.
ImightLikeTrains
That sounds actually kinda nice
