Man Lives with Pet Fox
Mike Trowler spoke about his pet fox Cropper "It started as trust, and trust grew to familiarity and familiarity to affection, and now I can do virtually anything with him, because he knows, he's quite confident, that whatever I do is going to be for his pleasure or his benefit. And it's wonderful, it's a superb relationship. The only problem I have with him being a pet is that it's been impossible to housetrain him. Not because it is impossible to housetrain a fox but because of the practicalities. If you have a dog or a cat and it messes in the wrong place. Well you clear it up and point the animal in the right direction. Fox urine has an unfortunate property, you can't wash it off!"
