Mini packs
Maybe the next Wintersday? The only fix that I remember was the arctic one from Wintersday 2013.
As far as other mini packs, those are gone. You’ll have to buy them on the TP if there’s any that you want now. Occasionally they re-release the older mini packs, as they have in the past, but there’s really no telling when it will happen again.
Minis are on the Trading post at prices that are waaaaay cheaper than the gem costs to buy them
Anet took the minipet packs off the trading post to prop up the prices.
But they come back for sales a few times a year. You can buy them then, but why would you when they are so much cheaper on the trading post.
Also there will probably be a set 4 released when HoT comes out (mini dinosaurs!)
Check the trading post under mini. There are a bunch there. Some are sold by the gemstore directly and are account bound.
ANet may give it to you.

Because the one I want (fox) isn’t on the trading post.
Afaik the only fox is the mini arctic fox kit that was a gem store account bound mini released during Wintersday.
Now, you can wait for them to release it again, which might not be until next Wintersday or it may be never, or you can buy another mini to use and enjoy until then, whichever you prefer.
ANet may give it to you.
