Warning!
Make sure to be safe when your in the gray foxes habitat. They are not the type of domestic animals like cats or dogs. They like to be alone, away from people. Do not try to hold, or tame them. The Gray Fox likes to hide. If you take it out of its hiding place it will get stressed out and may bite. Also wear gloves so if that does happen you will not hurt as much.
When setting up the habitat DO NOT PUT TREES NEAR FENCES! Gray foxes love to climb trees and an easily jump over it if the fence is close enough.
