Finch loves the other adult foxes and I’ve always hopped that they would eventually accept him. Fig who is typically the calmest and sweetest in demeanor was always my first pick for friendship, so it surprised me when Fig never accepted Finch, but Juniper did.
Now, 3 years later, Fig occasionally acts like he’s going to befriend Finch. I put them together every few months to see if things will be different. This was by far the longest they had been together without fighting, but alas Fig took advantage of Finch’s submission. Fox body language can sometimes be difficult to read. Did you notice the warning signs?
