Small lizards and so on don't need domesticating, since they are being usually held in terrariums. Fennec can be domesticated, it's not very easy though. Capybaras did went through domestication both historically and currently, just it was dependent on region and pigs are vastly better choice for livestock when compared.
If so,they're not really pets, more like captive toys.
Not true, Fennecs can be somewhat tamed. Domestication is an long and ugly process that takes hundreds and hundreds of generations to be successful.
Also not true. Capybaras never went through domestication. It's just that they're very docile
Fennecs can be barely tamed.
You cannot domesticate something. Domestication requires hundreds of years of selective breeding and conditioning.
