Well, I said it that way since other males didn't stay or died. But Aurora may or may not stay. We did track down her origins to a breeder(but don't know if she was bred there) but not used to living in a home. She's pretty high strung and may not enjoy being a house pet in which case we'd find her a place more like she's used to that's more hands off and live with others of her kind. She's got plenty of time to decide though since she will be here till Cinco is weaned at least. She's never violent just easily upset. It's understandable from her point of view though, was abducted to a alien environment then had a baby there.
Actually Cinco is 4 weeks old. He's still nursing only. They don't wean till 6 months earliest but normally 8 months to a year. They start sampling food around 3 months. He did take a little taste of Aurora's soup food one night but that was mostly formula as she had tummy upset. She's on soup since the breeder had been bringing her ant nests to feed on and she doesn't know how to eat real food yet. Got her to take a liquid diet mix by using blue cheese mixed in. There's a species of ants they like that tastes like blue cheese.
He was born with claws but the tips were white(soft) so as not to hurt mom. Kind of like porcupines are born with soft quills but they harden up after birth.
Yes I've seen that page. Back before I got Pua I went through every result of Google for Tamandua and anteater. It was hard to find good info and I wanted all I could get.
