Despite the fact that cats and cats have become the real "kings" of the Internet, many other animals are ready to compete with them. Millions of people around the world watch the life of domestic foxes, raccoons, lemurs … These animals are not easy to keep at home, but their owners are ready to do anything for their pets!

Domestic Fox Juniper

Domestication of foxes has become a popular practice these days, although keeping such a pet at home is very difficult. There are many "fox" accounts on social networks today, but perhaps the most popular belongs to a fox named Juniper - @juniperfoxx. She was the smallest and weakest of the litter, and therefore they were in no hurry to take her to the reserve. Therefore, Juniper got to the volunteer girl Jessica Cocker and stayed with her.

Her mistress wrote about the peculiarities of keeping a domestic fox in the book "Happy Fox Juniper", translated into several languages: these wonderful animals have a very specific smell, foxes and order are simply incompatible, it is extremely difficult to find a veterinarian for a fox, it is forbidden to transport them in public transport, and there are no vaccines for them. And yet … foxes are great companions. Red-haired beauties are usually not good neighbors with dogs, but Juniper has a best friend - a dog named Moose, whom her owner "adopted" when she volunteered at a veterinary clinic.

Giuseppa pig who stole the popularity of its mistress

Giuseppa is a mini pig. She lives in Yekaterinburg with her mistress, blogger and fashion designer Nastya Chak. Nastya has always had pets, but the mini-pig was her dream. For several years she studied all the available information about pygmy pigs, and only then decided to start her own. She and her friend assumed that Giuseppa would grow up to be a big pig - sometimes that happens. However, the pig remains a cute baby. More than anything, the mini-pig loves … to sleep - she devotes up to eighteen hours a day to this occupation, especially loves to doze in the sun.

The owner says that in general in Russia there is still no culture of keeping mini-pigs, there are no breed standards, no specialized nutrition. Nastya feeds the pig with cereals and vegetables - Giuseppa does not mind such a diet. Despite the charming appearance, Giuseppa knows how to stand up for himself and is able to "make bite". Nastya rarely takes her out for a walk in the city - everyone's attention becomes a great stress for the pig, but sometimes Giuseppe manages to run around in the forest to its fullest. Despite the fact that Nastya Chuck is a beautiful and talented girl, the account of her pet @giuseppe_pig has much more subscribers. Nastya and Giuseppa are often invited to television, interviewed by them for magazines. I must say that Giuseppa is a real fashionista, because Nastya creates stunning New Year's outfits for her favorite.

A male lemur named Sarah

Sarah lives in Perm, his @sara_lemur account has more than 40 thousand subscribers. The name of the animal was given even before its sex was determined, but it literally "stuck" to the lemur. Sarah's popularity began with the 9GAG platform, which posted a photo of him with a boiled egg in his legs. Judging by the photos in his account, Sarah's favorite habitat is the kitchen, where you can really hang out (in the literal sense - for example, in a dish drainer).

Sarah is not averse to feasting on cherries, decorating a Christmas tree, and driving. Sarah's owner, Irina Goncharova, warns subscribers against purchasing exotic animals - they cannot be trained and controlled, they are not easy to keep, provide them with good food and medical care. Lemur was given to her by friends who could not cope with the animal. Now Sarah is in good hands and has been pleasing her fans for several years.

Azuki the hedgehog makes a hedgehog revolution

Azuki is the best friend of professional photographer Shuichi Tsunoda. Azuki leads a very busy life - swimming in the pool, going fishing and hiking, digging a garden, advertising goods … The hedgehog has a daughter, Monica, and a few other friends. Tsunoda's pets are hybrids of a white-bellied and Algerian hedgehog, which explains their unusually cute (as they say in Japan - kawaii) appearance.

For Europeans, Tsunoda's hedgehogs are simply glorious pets, busy with everyday activities, but for Japan, his photographs are a real breakthrough. It's hard to believe, but in Japanese culture, hedgehogs have long been treated with disgust and dislike, just like rats. They are almost impossible to find in cartoons and comics, they are not painted on postcards … The owner is trying to fight this attitude towards these adorable animals. He not only maintains “hedgehog” accounts in social networks (his official Instagram account is @hedgehog_azuki), but also published a book about the adventures of Azuki the hedgehog and his friends.

Not so long ago, a hedgehog cafe opened in Tokyo - like a cat cafe, only with hedgehogs. This caused heated discussions in the press and condemnation from conservationists, but still marked a new stage in the attitude of the Japanese towards hedgehogs.

Pumpkin is a raccoon who considers himself a dog

Another heroine of the Internet, the female raccoon Pumpkin, unfortunately, not so long ago left this world, but her business lives on - the owners decided to support the account of their pet, @pumpkintheraccoon, periodically posting archival materials in memory of her. Pumpkin has about one and a half million subscribers, because she is not just a raccoon, but the most popular raccoon on Instagram. Once she literally fell on the heads of her owners - she fell from a tree and broke her hind leg. Rosie Young and her family left the baby and could not part with her. Fortunately, raccoons are officially allowed as pets in the Bahamas.

Pumpkin became close friends with two dogs, which Young had adopted shortly before her, and even began to imitate their behavior, which incredibly amused their owners. She constantly hugged her "relatives", but she could bite when they were too active to play with her. Pumpkin was not averse to having an avocado snack, loved to swim in the pool and regularly “steal” unfinished tea from Rosie.
