600+ Cute Fox Names For Male & Female (Our Favorites)

Foxes are wild dogs, but the idea of keeping these furry, bushy-tailed mammals as pets is not far-fetched or weird.

Like dogs from a long line of domestication, foxes tend to form close bonds with their owners, and names play a crucial role in this process. Scout, Hunter, Amber, or Flynn, ensure whatever name you give your fox is not complicated or sounds like a command.

We understand that thinking of befitting names for foxes could be a hassle.

Therefore, we have compiled a list of the most suitable funny, and cute fox names for your new male or female canine.

You will also learn about the best fox breeds to domesticate and some essential facts that will help you welcome a fox to your home.

What Are Some Basic Fox Needs?

Like human babies, parents ready some essential items to ease the baby’s arrival, including dietary needs, toys, healthcare, and clothing.

Foxes also demand specific needs to help them settle into their new family. These include:

Food & Diet

While they have an omnivorous diet, foxes, as canines, have a special need for animal proteins.

You may feed your fox with berries, vegetables, and grain-free dog food, but ensure they have enough grasshoppers, mealworms, and other insects to satisfy their protein demands.

Exercise

Like a dog breed originally bred for hunting, working, or guarding, foxes require plenty of exercise due to their long history of roaming freely in the wild, hunting for survival.

It may be wrong to allow your fox to roam around an unfenced outdoor area, but caging it within a cramped space like a kennel or crate is much worse.

Allowing your fox to play indoors may be destructive as these bushy-tailed canines are notorious chewers.

You can satisfy your fox’s exercise needs by providing a penned area with ample space to play in.

It will be best to ensure your canine companion receives about an hour or two of daily exercise.

Healthcare

Like dogs, foxes demand adequate healthcare to avoid diseases like canine distemper, rabies, and parasitic infections, including flukes, intestinal worms, and lungworms.^[1]

Not every veterinarian can do the job; you may require the services of a specialized veterinarian that exclusively cares for foxes.

What Items Should I Get For a Pet Fox?

Knowing a fox’s primary needs is not all that is involved in keeping a fox, as it will require other essential items.

These include food and water dishes, an enclosure (at least eight feet in length and width and 6 feet in height), sandboxes, and hanging toys. 

Best Fox Breeds to Keep as Pets

There are as many as 23 fox species and 44 subspecies. However, not all these species and variants are suitable for domestication.

Here are the three best fox breeds to keep as pets.

Fennec Fox (Vulpes zerda)

The large-eared fox is undoubtedly native to the wild but can be domesticated under the right circumstances.

These foxes are popular among pet fox lovers thanks to their charming personality, ease of care, ability to receive litter training, and long life expectancy that may last up to eleven years.^[2]

The Fennec Fox is a social animal, making it a good house pet candidate provided you meet its needs.

Gray Fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus)

Gray in color and also known as the “Cat Fox,” you can tell that this fox species exhibits traits similar to a house pet.

The medium-sized canine is often revered as the friendliest fox as it is affectionate towards humans.

Another positive to consider is that it is not as stinky as other fox species.

While the Gray Fox can never be truly housetrained, its disposition puts it in contention for fox breeds that can serve as pets. 

Silver Fox (Vulpes vulpes)

While the Gray and Fennec Foxes are easier to groom, the silver fox is a genuine domesticated fox breed.

It exhibits dog-like traits, including ear floppiness, barking, and wagging its tail when happy.

Buying a Silver Fox would cost a king’s ransom, pricing as high as $10,000.

However, the price is worth considering since you are getting an exotic pet native to the wild with little smell and many domestic traits.

Knowing the best fox species to keep as pets, we can now consider the most befitting names for your new pet fox.

Red Fox and Other Breeds

Some people have sampled other fox breeds like the Red Fox, Arctic Fox, Bat-Eared Fox, Swift Fox, Kit Fox, Pale Fox, and Corsac Fox.

However, these species are rare in the exotic pet market or have physical or behavioral drawbacks that do not make them suitable house pets like the Silver Fox, Gray Fox, and Fennec Fox.

How to Name Your Pet Fox

You have the final say on what to name your pet fox. Nevertheless, your canine’s sex, color, and personality are some factors that may influence your choice of name.

It might sound odd naming a male fox “Rose” or naming a Gray Fox “Redford.” However, naming a very active fox “Hunter” suits its personality.

Consider the following 600+ names to find the most suitable name for your fox.

Famous Fox Names

Thanks to those lazy Netflix nights on the couch, one of two fictional foxes might cross your mind.

Here is a compilation of famous fictional names for foxes you can consider.

1. Fix and Foxi: Cast your mind back to the 2000 animation series before Netflix became a thing. Why not replicate these twin foxes if you have just gotten a pair of foxes? You may decide to name a lone fox either Fix or Foxy depending on its gender.

2. Tod: A fictional fox first answered this name over a century ago in Beatrix Potter’s book The Tale of Mr. Tod. Nevertheless, no one is pressing charges against you if you decide to allow your fox to share the 20th-century protagonist’s name.

3. Swiper: Remember the fox from Dora and the Lost City of Gold? Your new pet fox could be its namesake.

4. Fox: From the movie “The Fantastic Mr. Fox” to your home, you can always recall how the travails of the cunning Mr. Fox inspired hearty laughs.

5. Fox McCloud: The 90s kids will remember their favorite player character in the 1993 video game “Star Fox.” McCloud sounds super cool if you ask us; therefore, you should not feel alone if it is one of the first names that crossed your mind. 

6. Vixey: Tod fell in love with Vixey in the Disney movie “The Fox and the Hound.” You are already in love with your fox and hope to love it more. What holds you back from naming it Vixey if it is a female?

7. Megan Fox: Someone’s actual name right here! Nevertheless, your fox would not mind sharing its name with the American actress and model. Megan will do for a female fox if you feel “ Fox” is redundant.

Best Female Fox Names

Without a doubt, no one wants a name like Roger or Zeus for a female fox. Your beauty deserves a feminine name that suits her gender. See what we have here:

8. Lisa: As charming as the Lily flower.

9. Misty: Your spirited female fox may fill you with indescribable emotions. Misty seems like the perfect match.

10. Lucky: Rather than hunting its meals, your female fox has its basic needs at its fingertips in return for its canine companionship. It seems you both are lucky to have yourselves; Lucky is a befitting name.

11. Olivia: Olivia is a Latin derivative of the olive tree used to symbolize fruitfulness, dignity, and beauty. Olivia is a decent choice for your adorable female pet fox.

12. Snowball: Perhaps the most suitable name for a female Arctic Fox, as white as a giant Snowball.

13. Cleo: While Cleopatra, one of the most beautiful female nobles, could be too long for your fox to register as its name, Cleo is a perfect alternative.

14. Medusa: The Roman legend portrays Medusa as a beautiful maiden. The name could also represent your fox’s beauty. 

15. Jewel: Jewel is a befitting name if you feel your fox is precious.

16. Luna: Luna is the Latin translation for the moon, a beautiful celestial body.

17. Daisy: Like flowers, Daisy could represent your fox’s beauty.

18. Gazelle: Gazelles are graceful. Call your female fox by that name if it exhibits poise and grandeur.

19. Phoenix: Foxes demand hours of exercise; Phoenix is a decent name for your never-tiring fox. 

20. Mia: A beautiful feminine name that symbolizes royalty.

Good Fox Names

Here are more options to choose from if you cannot find the most suitable name for your pet fox.

21. Pepper: Pepper might sound spicy, but it is a decent choice for your spirited and adorable fox.

22. Autumn: Fall is colorful, and so is Autumn, a fox with vibrant coat colors.

23. Zorro: Zorro is undoubtedly a cute name; nevertheless, it means fox in Spanish.

24. Fluffers: Your bushy-tailed furry friend would not mind a name that describes its hairy appearance.
