Selling red foxes

[stretch611]

Does anyone know which type of trader accepts foxes?

I had a hosting quest with some red foxes for some stupid noble. I accepted it and before the hosting quest was over, I was left with 3 red fox puppies. (1 male/2 females)

Well, those foxes multiplied and I have about 10 of them now. I requested bulk good traders and exotic good traders as well as getting trade ships for both; but no one wants to buy my foxes.

Does anyone know who I can sell them to?
(and I know I can slaughter them for meat... but I would rather get cold hard cash.)

At least the bulk goods trade ship accepted the goats the joined my colony at random and started to procreate like rabbits... now I just need to rid myself of the foxes. (Yes, I know they can haul, but I prefer my wargs for that... wargs are great in combat too...)

im pretty sure you can sell them to other factions through your own caravans, i wouldnt really know tho, in all my 700 hours of playing this game ive prob only sent out 7 caravans for trading

Sending out your own trade caravan is the obvious answer. Villages will generally buy anything that it's possible to sell. I'm a big fan of doing this, it kept me in steel when I ran out of my local supply. Typically it's only a day's journey to a market if it's not winter.

You'll need to send enough pemmican along to keep the foxes fed during the trip. Caravans seem to lump human and animal food together, and animals don't seem to eat kibble on the road unless everything else is gone.

I had the same problem. I can't find anywhere to sell them either. The yellow and purple factions don't want them. I sent caravans to both.

They reproduce 2 for 1 so they multiply like crazy. They can be taught to haul things but they'll eventually eat your colony into starvation some winter.

The morale of the story is that if you can't sell them, slaughter them and make fox fur coats.

Yeah... Actually, I just looked at the various settlements in the world and none of the factions seem to want red foxes... not imperial, outlander, or tribe.

I guess slaughtering seems to be the only options

I try not to slaughter the puppies, but people keep naming them before they become adults.

The only way out is to "Order 66" the foxes.
