    This always happens after a film; heck even the Snowy owl got popular as a (very short term) pet when the Harry Potter films came out. That said I'm aware that the Fennec is also more popular in the USA; although still pretty rare in general.

    Again its the same story that less domestic species are far more demanding as a pet than people realise.

    Still I'd rather China were buying pets than food from animals.
