 Fennec fox stuff...

Does anyone know anything about fennec foxes and laws about them? I live in NYC and i want to get a permit for exotic animals...and i really want to buy a fennec fox...but i am having a VERY hard time finding information on the subject. I’ve wanted many types of exotic animals/animals in general my whole life...but the permit is holding me back. can anyone please please help me?

I live in Michigan so I don’t know much about the laws in New York. I found the New York Fish and Wildlife website and it isn’t very specific on exotics,but it does have a phone number. Here is the link to the website:NY Fish and Wildlife

I hope that helps. If you have anymore questions I’ll be happy to answer them.

P.S I’ve never posted a link on here before so it might not work.

From what I know, they are legal in New York State as a "whole". County laws make them very illegal in New York City. You will need to call New York’s Division of Fish and Wildlife and call and check your county’s law as well. Last I heard you could have them without a permit in some New York counties, but I know for a fact they are still illegal in New Y ork City.

sorry.. to clarify,

If you are in NYC you can not have one even with a permit, unless you are a licensed and active wildlife education center, zoo, research, etc... no permits are available to own them as pets.
