Foxes are not dangerous and do not attack humans, except when they are rabid, which is very rare, or when they are captured and handled. Even then, a fox's natural tendency is to flee rather than fight.
The reality is they don't make great pets, and in some states it is illegal to own one. Foxes are wild animals, meaning they have not been domesticated. Unlike other species like dogs and cats, which have been bred to live easily with people, foxes don't do well as indoor animals.
Most of the time, a fox will run away and hide from a person. However if you are in a situation where a fox approaches you, try to stay calm, slowly back off, and don't make any sudden movements. Try to stand well away so the fox can see that it can get away and you aren't a threat to it.

Foxes have been part of Minecraft since 2018, and it's one of the game's cutest "mobs" — the game's term for its NPCs. Like most animal mobs, foxes can be tamed so they'll follow and obey you.
Prohibited mammals
All introduced mammal species are prohibited as pets unless listed as exceptions. A sample of these prohibited mammals include: foxes • squirrels • ferrets/polecats/stoats • rabbits • hamsters • monkeys/marmosets • gerbils • weasels • dingoes.
No. Do not try to make foxes tame. While it is a great thrill to have wild foxes coming to take food from your hand, problems arise because many urban foxes are now so tame that they approach strangers in the expectation of being fed.
Foxes only bond with one or two people and generally do not like anyone else. Of course there are exceptions, but in general being around anyone other than their bonded person for any length of time will stress them to the point of harming their health.
Many foxes like being petted, held, and snuggled, so they are much more comforting companions than many exotic species.
They groom one another, play, and cuddle. And while they hunt alone, foxes live in extremely close and affectionate family units while raising their young. Her photos prove her point, showing the foxes smiling and rubbing noses, napping and playing.
Are foxes smart? People use the phrase “sly as a fox” for a reason. Foxes are intelligent in ways that matter to them: finding food, surviving in weather extremes, outwitting predators, and protecting their young. They're brighter than most, but not all, dog breeds.
“The male is monogamous and usually mates only once with his vixen; should his mate be killed he usually refuses to take another, forming an example of faithfulness unknown in other wild animals.”
The bulk of a fox's diet is made up of meat protein, so the best things to feed your local foxes are cooked or raw meat, or tinned dog food. They are also fond of peanuts, fruit and cheese. Foxes can be fed all year round but should follow a set feeding routine.
Foxes deposit their gifts as a way of marking a trail, food or territory. Raccoons like to create gift galleries, also known as latrines, thus they repeatedly go in the same place. When handling these gifts, be sure to protect yourself.
Only 20 years after their introduction, foxes were declared as a pest species in Victoria. Within 100 years, foxes had reached their current distribution on the Australian mainland. Today foxes occur over 75 per cent of Australia and their range is strongly linked with that of rabbits.
Currently only dogs, cats, rabbits, horses and selected species of birds from approved countries may be imported as pets and only when strict conditions are met. No other vertebrate animals are approved for import into Australia as pets.
In addition to common domesticated pets such as cats, dogs, aviary birds and aquarium fish, some native animals can be kept as pets under a special licence from NPWS. These include many species of native birds (mostly parrots), some captive-bred reptiles and frogs from a licensed breeder or society.
Foxes. Foxes produce dog-like droppings that are usually pointy and twisted at one end and full of fur, feathers, tiny bones, seeds and berries. In rural areas, fox poo is quite dark, but in urban areas, where foxes eat human food waste, it can be lighter. Fresh droppings have a distinctively musky or 'foxy' smell.
For example, foxes hate natural ingredients like chili pepper, garlic, capsaicin, and a chemical compound called alliinase. Sprinkling these foods around your garden will naturally prevent foxes coming near your home and garden.
It takes patience, consistency, and time for a fox to trust and bond with you. You can do this by talking to them and imitating their sounds. Not all foxes like being touched or petted. Learn their personality and adjust your interactions accordingly.
It's a well known fact that Foxes mate for life. People sing of their commitment to love and their breeding partner.

Foxes may not be Mr Fox but yes, they are indeed very clever animals. Studies have shown that they outperform dogs in almost every category, including problem solving, memory recall, spatial reasoning and general intelligence. One of the best ways to measure intelligence is through IQ tests.
