J Darcy 5,871 Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Those black foxes are now common as pets. There's people importing foxes and breeding them and all crazy colours are to be found. It is inevitable that some will be 'liberated' once the novelty wears off and their owner wants a tea-cup yorkie instead.........beautiful animal, I'd love to see it..... 1 Quote Link to post
