Luna loves being petted or rubbed anyway she gets it. She is so sweet.

Luna wants to help us move dirt into the enclosures. I think she's too small to help--except for ripping open the bags.

Boop the snoot. Foxes have an excellent sense of smell. They use their nose to find mice and other prey. In addition, it aids them with communication. They are able to smell other foxes chemical cues.

Miss Luna loves to lay in the dirt. While the other foxes feel most at peace sleeping on their shelves or the upper levels of their enclosures, she feels best... in the dirt. Silly girl. It must feel very soft to her since we added new soil. She makes little nesting spots, circles clear of woodchips and rocks, and curls up to sleep.

Recently, The Baron, our California king snake, was exhibiting some unusual behavior. He was biting his tail over and over. This can be caused by several things. Too hot of temperatures, too small of an enclosure, he is hungry, or it could mean he is in pain. My vet took some radiographs and we discovered he has arthritis in his tail. He was given some pain meds, an antibiotic in case he was sick with something else, and silver sulfadiazine cream. He also receives betadine baths. So far he is feeling much much better and yesterday he even shed in one complete piece! If your animal is ever exhibiting strange behavior, especially self-mutilation, always get a vet involved so you can determine if it is medically related.

Foxes love to be high up so they can see the world around them and so they can also locate approaching predators. It’s important to build “fox towers” for them so they have a high vantage point.

Luna is a silver fox which means she is all black with silver guard hairs. Did you know that red foxes will almost always have a white tipped tail? Even if it is just a few hairs! It’s a great, quick way to tell if a fox is red fox, or vulpes vulpes.
