After Saving A Fox From A Fur Farm, We Decided To Get Him A Friend So He Wouldn’t Feel Lonely
244Kviews
Everyone knows Juniper – a very nice fox and her dog friend. I love her as well.
But let me introduce another wonderful couple – Jay and Saimon!
More info: Instagram
Those are our pets, Jay the fox and Saimon
Jay is 2 years old. We took her from a fur farm and she became our best friend
I’ve been working from home that’s why I was always nearby
My husband loves Jay too, and they spent a lot of time together
She loves to sleep with us
I always find this nice muzzle like this in the morning
And we celebrate all holidays as a family. Jay’s birthday!
New Year 2017
Jay is very friendly…
Playful…
And curious
But she always tries to steal something. Eggs…
Or a beer
And, of course, this sweet croissant
No idea what’s this, but looks like she stole it too
This year, I’ve changed from remote work to the office. I was very afraid that Jay would miss us as she would always be alone
Because of that a new joiner came to our family. Saimon!
We decided that Jay needs a friend who’d be her age and “size”. Saimon is also 2 years old
We got him from animal shelter. We knew that Jay is very friendly and we won’t have problems with them
Now they’re best friends always spending time together
Aren’t they adorable?

burn that fur farm down.
This one and all the others.
Yes, and imprison the criminals that work there also.
Let's burn down this one and all fur farms including those for other animals. But first we need to rescue the animals
Iam in where is it lets do it but we will get the animals out first I hope lol
Hey, person who posted this, wanna exchange your life with mine? *SPOILER ALERT* My life is pretty dull, my mother doesn't let me get a dog because she feels nauseated around furry animals, and I suck at everything I do. :v please exchange lives.😇
I doubt you suck at everything you do! My life is boring too but i've come to appreciate it
Thanks mate, I appreciate you trying to cheer me up, but I'm not actually sad or anything. I'm quite comfortable with my dull life, gives me a great amount of time to think about all the right things to do. 😃
Just visit us on your vacations. You'll understand, that it is not so easy and take a lot of time. But we love thems anyway.
I can only assume how hard it is. But I still wanna be with these two. Maybe, you should adopt me, would
We can try ;)
you dont suck I dont know you but you are wonderfully made and loved
I don't know you either, but thank you. You're a good human being. And apparently, boredpanda is full of people like you, unlike reddit and tumblr, where the sympathy is the last thing one would expect. 😂
The 'fur farm' is in Siberia, and they have been taming foxes for decades now. Note the black and silver portion of Jay, which are remnants of his Arctic Fox ancestors. You can watch part of the original program on this right here: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xwq3rs_evolution-in-action-the-silver-fox-experiment_shortfilms
Also, "black and silver fur" has nothing to do with arctic foxes in this case. It is a morph of a red fox, which comes in many different colors. No matter what the color of the fox, you can tell it is a red fox because they always have a white tipped tail.
That's a normal red fox. The black and silver part of his fur is quite common.
What evidence do you have that they got the fox from there and not a real fur farm? Just because that place exists and this is a nice fox does not mean they got her there.
John L, scroll down. The OP explained it themselves. As usual, you are wrong and will deny it to the death.
Incidentally, there are still some traits that need to be bred out of foxes in order to be true domesticated pets, like their dog cousins. One of them is their uncontrolled digging into furniture. It will take at least another 30-50 generations to bred this out of their DNA. They are really not ready yet, unfortunately. :(
Had you watched the video, or even read my second sentence, where I stated " Note the black and silver portion of Jay, which are remnants of his Arctic Fox ancestors." you would be able to see the remaining Arctic Fox traits in Jay the fox. This is from the Siberian fox experiment from the 1950s and it is world famous for domesticating foxes in a failed attempt to produce Arctic fox pelts. Just do a Google search of "Siberian Arctic Fox experiment" and see what comes up.
I am well aware of that experiment. And it is with red foxes, not arctic foxes. I wanted to know what evidence you had that it was linked with this story with the work of Dmitry Belyayev and his successors. Unless it is stated here or somewhere else that Jay came from that institute, you are just guessing. Your evidence seems to have been "i watched a video" and "the questionable lighting on the picture of the fox as a baby". Even if this fox has genetic material from an arctic fox it doesnt mean it came from that institute, it would just mean that its ancestors crossbred at some point. Had you said something along the lines of "that fox seems far too domesticated to have come from a fur farm, it probably* came from this group in siberia," that would have been much more plausible. You made your statement as though you had access to facts, not as though it was a guess or conjecture, which is what it actually is. (Besides, fur farms are much more prevalent than this one instit
