きつねは狐は森に住んでいます。オレンジと白いです。ちいさいですでも大きい尾がいます。 Hopefully this means: Foxes live in the forest. They are orange and white. They are small, but have big tails. I'm fairly new to Japanese, but decided to try writing a very small text as practice. Please correct any mistakes and explain what I did wrong!　(Would Japanese want a comma somewhere in the last sentence or not? Is the title any good?) ありがとうございます！　:D

きつねは

狐は森に住んでいます。
色はオレンジと白いです。※と is used between nouns.
ちいさいですでもが、大きい尾しっぽがいあります／しっぽを持<も>っています。 ※尾 is a stiff word. ※いる／います・・animate, ある／あります・・inanimate

Hopefully this means:
Foxes live in the forest.
They are orange and white.
They are small, but have big tails.

ありがとうございますよろしくお願<ねが>いします！　:D　※よろしくおねがいします。I hope you will take care of me.＝Thanking you in advance. To say ありがとう（ございます） is strange because you haven't known whether someone gives you a favor. It might be a correct expression in English. But in Japanese, we don't say "ありがとう（ございます） Thank you" before we know someone gives us a favor.
