We suggest daily exercise from the age of weaning such as directing their energies to chasing and retrieving toys. We have taught them to retrieve small soft dumbbells and toys. They bring them back and lay them on our feet - After they 'kill' the toy. They are truly a joy. Fennecs can make endearing companions if the owner is willing to train them to a leash.
Wild instincts are possible to modify but never can be over-ridden.
The instinct to search and hunt will over-ride their training and attachment for you and they will scamper off in pursuit of a grasshopper or other fast moving creature without giving you a second thought at the time. They could easily be lost in a flash. Food can be raw meat, vegetables and vitamins. This food is complete and no vegetables or vitamins need to be added. We understand many people have been successful with Iam's kitten food.
