Best way to get you updated is to start with the big news

He is on loan till Sept as he needed a place to go. they since decided he wont be coming back. I was hoping to buy him but a job we have in Canada this June will be shorter than expected so might not be able to swing it but we'll try.

We are hoping for a baby out of his visit so if we can't keep him we will at least have that baby I know Pua wants a baby. She went through a false pregnancy when I got her. I'm hoping for a girl so if we can't keep Stewie the baby can stay and then get an unrelated male later that they both can share.

they get along great and sleep together, whether with me or some other cozy spot

The little guy is a trouble maker though

OMG I'm so dying of cuteness overload over here lol!

If you have babies I want one!

Seriously. I've wanted one for years, just haven't found a breeder yet. I've had years to research so I guess that's a good thing though, and I've learned even more from you.

they only have one baby at a time. Rarely they will have twins but you don't hope for that as their are complications with that. In the wild twins don't survive. They have to cling to mom's back and she can't fit two so one at least gets left behind but twins also tend to be smaller and weaker since they had to share so often neither can hold on, and or, mom gets confused by having two and rejects them both. Twins have survived in captivity when mom kept them and they also got extra suplamentation since they wont be getting left behind like in the wild, it's still a scary thought.

So if I keep one, that's it, ha. If I can't then I'll have one available. I've already had people contact me saying they would be interested just based on having a pair. It's not like I'm advertising or anything. Actually this was the first time i posted up front that we hope they mate. People always asked before.

Yeah breeders are really rare for them. It's hard to find a domestically born and bred baby. One lady had one, and was the rarer vested type(rare in the US) and there was practically a cyber cat fight over it, lol, I'm exaggerating but...

If you think you really want one. Read the care sheet http://taqmanduagirl.blogspot.com/20...caresheet.html it really needs updating, quite a bit to change actually but it's a decent intro to the basics still
then if that sounds like your kind of pet join the group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xenarthra_keepers/ fare waring there are a few on the group who are anti-pet whenever someone comes asking as it's open to any xenarthran keeper zoo, USDA enterprise, pet, or wild rehabbers.

I can't decide if I agree or disagree with the whole idea but I don't really know enough to make an honest judgement. I DO know that this is just the cutest, weirdest, funniest "pet" thread I've seen since the pet buffalo from years ago. That little Pua is adorable "Pua has a boyfriend"... hee hee, you GO girl!!!

[critter crazy]

Awwww.....look how cute they are together!! I bet Pua would make a great momma, good luck.
