Weirdly, no you can’t. I don’t know why it is this way, but it is – because the phrase is in the same sentence as the animals you are talking about, you cannot suddenly switch to talking about “them“. BUT if you began a new sentence, or even just included a connecting word, you could use – them.
… Foxes and sheep. Some of them had to be imported… – This is totally fine.
… Foxes and sheep, and some of them had to be imported…
Again, I can’t explain to you why this is, but I do know it would be completely wrong if you didn’t say – some of whom – in the sentence that you have.
