WashijaChange Of Mind
The fox’s behavior gave Wang that reality check which she needed. She realized the animal is not meant to spend its life indoors. It is meant for the outside world, to live outside and play around instead of being stuck inside a house. This realization resulted in Wang taking a heartbreaking decision.
Finding A New Home
Wang began her research about what to do with the fox. She recalled the vet’s advice of giving the fox to a zoo. She realized this is the option that makes the most sense. So she decided to contact the local zoo and tell them about her situation. She wanted to ask them if they will be interested in meeting her and taking in her fox.
They Said Yes
To her surprise, the zoo was very much interested in meeting her and the fox. They would gladly take the animal for their exhibit where they have other foxes as well. As glad as Wang was that her search ends here, a part of her was sad too because this news meant the time to say goodbye was near. She decided to take the fox down to the zoo and meet the employee she spoke with.
Visiting The Zoo
Wang took the fox to see the people at the zoo. And as discussed on the call, they were ready to take the animal. They were going to keep it with other foxes so it instantly feels at home. Also, the exhibits provide a massive space for it to run around and play with others of its kind. On Wang’s permission, they took the fox inside for a regular check-up before placing it in the exhibit, to see if it gets along with other animals.
Made Friends
Before leaving Wang asked if she could see where the fox will be kept and the people at the zoo were happy to show her. To her surprise, the fox seemed so much at home it felt amazing. It finally had friends who were not scared of it and actually wanted to play! Just seeing that sight confirmed that Wang took the right decision, even if it made her sad.
Quarantine
The fox will be kept in quarantine for a month before it is placed back in an exhibit finally. It is important to keep it in isolation because this is not a normal fox. It has been domesticated. So as far as living in a whole new environment goes, making that adjustment will be tricky for the fox. So to be on the safer side, the zoo decided its best if they keep it in quarantine for the time being.
