Ghost

This livin' marshmallow's name is Ghost. He's awesome to work with, even though he's a handful! People breed these in captivity for their fur (which is how this one got rescued) and also for pets. As much as he is a joy to help care for, I can honestly say that he would not make a good pet! Imagine an animal with the worst qualities of both a cat and a dog, and you've got an idea of what a fox is like! They quick, agile, excellent jumpers, intelligent, make a huge mess, mark their territory constantly, get riled up easily, don't get along with house pets, smell bad, and like to eat rodents. On top of that, they do not trust people easily. In fact, I've read that a fox will never trust a person who works with reptiles, which would explain A LOT lol.

 

Luckily, this guy has a good home at a nature center where he gets the proper care he needs. He also has an important job as an education animal!
