They're already sold as pets. Reportedly they're pretty good pets if you don't mind the price tag.
10 or 20 years later the risk you take has been dampened because people have had Fox pets for complete life-cycles which means more of the caveats of ownership are known. And the breeding location has had even more time to breed out undesirable behavior.
A win-win of sorts as a consumer. Of course with the caveat being that the place could go out of business because of a lack of buyers.
You did mention that they are Reportedly pretty good pets, do you have a source on that? I would enjoy reading more on the subject.
One issue I have with them is how high pitched and loud they can be, despite being nice otherwise.
