In real life, interspecies romance is severely frowned upon and illegal in most countries. However, it is a standard trope in science fiction and fantasy (and funny animal/anthropomorphic stories, like Omaha the Cat Dancer and Albedo), and so I'd not worry too much.

If neither character is human, then I don't think any of your readers will even blink an eye (so long as both are humanoid and mammalian at least).

You could make it off-putting, as Amadeus suggests, if for example you establish foxes as predators of rabbits first and then try to introduce a relationship. That'd have some weird undercurrents. There are some extremely uncomfortable situations in Beatrix Potter stories, for example, where a pair of animals - both of whom are fully sentient and wearing clothes - are having a cup of tea together, while at the same time one of them (a predator animal) is scheming to actually eat the children of the other one (a herbivore).
