I was talking to Madame Marlboro about this
She has a posed Squirrel on a plinth and she said it was only a couple of hundred.

Maybe foxes are a luxury item.

a fox is a lot larger than a squirrel
also commissioning something rather than buying off the shelf is always going to be pricey

edit: this place lists cats at nearly a grand and says you need to call for an estimate on larger animals: www.taxidermy.co.uk/assets/taxidermy_pricing.htm

wait, 800 for a cat but an extra 150 if it was a pet?

they need to make it look like the pet you remember
which is extra work - sounds fair enough to me
