I agree with the "small HEAD to EAR ratio" ...I tend to think cuteness relies on the dwarfing of things - whether it's the animal's body parts (i.e. head or ears), the whole animal (i.e. animals in hands!), or just its defensiveness (exposed fuzzy bellies.) Just a thought.

Isn't it illegal to be in possession of a wild animal...?

Is my spelling and/or grammar OK?

I have always LOOOOVED animals with big ears. I think corgis are some of the cutest dogs ever, and I love those Egyptian cats with the big ears. SQUEE!

Fennecs make great pets actually, if you do a LOT of reading and prep before you set about getting one. They're more like cats than dogs by any means, tending to be picky and aloof. As well as being crazy jumpers and climbers (so say goodbye to ANYTHING breakable on ANY shelf). That said they're also very sweet and loving, especially with those that reared them young.
You don't require 'acres of space' either, as you're not going to want to let these guys outside (they will climb any fence and usually disappear completely) They do enjoy screened in porches -under supervision. But will be quite content with a house to roam.
Housing them beyond that, you'll need something close to a very large ferret cage, with an open hatch and a couple stories. With lots of warm fuzzy stuff for them to burrow in, they're tenacious diggers (also say goodbye to carpets and comfy loveseats). Its rather hard to get these guys on your schedule though, so be prepared for some long nights. Good thing they're totally litter trainable though...mostly.
Beyond the fox-proofing, pricey fox-condo, pricey diet (you can read up on that later, its complicated) and the loss of your stuff they really do make loving and very amusing pets.
Found at breeder's or at exotic pets shows and running $1,000-$2,000.
