Fox
Pet foxes are litter trained, fetch like a dog, curl up in a pet bed, and can go for walks on a lead.

| Becomes a pet | Use a Pet Collar on it. (A fox that trusts you in vanilla isn't tamed.) It starts on Idle. |
|---|---|
| Needs |  Hunger  Thirst  Hygiene  Mood  Energy  Bladder |
| Eats | Only from a Food Bowl or your hand. |
| Drinks | Only from a Water Bowl or a water bottle from you. Never from ponds. |
| Favourite kibble | Meaty Kibble |
| Hand-feed with | Sweet or glow berries (its vanilla food) or any kibble |
| Toilet | A Litter Box, otherwise outside on grass, dirt or sand. Shut in, it waits by a door. |
| Sleeps | In a Pet Bed (or its Rest Spot). Turns round once, then curls up, vanilla style. |
| Plays | Fetches the Pet Ball, chases the Ball of Yarn. |
| Can sit | Yes, it sits on Stay. |
| Petting | Sneak + use with an empty hand. |
| Tricks | Spin (loyalty 25), Shake Paw (40) and Roll Over (60). See Tricks. |
Eating & drinking
Like cats and dogs, a pet fox only uses bowls or your hand, never ponds or grass.
Any kibble or a hay bale fills a Food Bowl (4 servings); any other food adds one serving. A water bucket fills a Water Bowl, a water bottle adds two servings.
Toilet
Pet foxes are often litter trained. When its bladder passes 80% a fox looks for:
- a Litter Box within 16 blocks, and covers up afterwards like a cat;
- otherwise grass, dirt, moss, mud or sand under open sky within 10 blocks, and scratches the ground afterwards;
- otherwise the nearest door, where it sits and sniffs until you let it out.
Foxes don't use pee pads. If nothing works, it has an accident.
Walks
Like a dog, a fox enjoys a walk on a lead: its mood goes up, and on grass, dirt or sand it stops to do its business.
Sleeping and play
- A tired fox turns round once on its bed and curls up with its tail round its nose.
- Fetch: it gets first dibs on a thrown Pet Ball together with dogs. Before running off it drops into a mouse-hunting crouch, rear wiggling.
- Kits play-fight with each other and chase their tails.
Tips
- A litter box indoors plus a garden outside means a fox never has an accident.
- Foxes sleep a lot during the day in vanilla; in a pet bed it looks the part.
