Anteater walk in pink shirt

[VictoriaHoskin]

I thought anteaters were illigal to have as pets, where do you live?

[MyStrangeAnimals]

@TamanduaGirl , where do you live, i mean why must he wear a shirt, is it to cold? and where do you got the anteater? did you catched it? or from a breeder?

[TamanduaGirl]

@MyStrangeAnimals I live in Oregon. It doesn't get as cold as some places but it does get cold for a tropical animal. They don't regulate their body temperature well. I got her from a guy in Florida.

dude....dude.... your cats fucked up man, take to a hospital or some shit

[execk]

poor animal

[fresca9990211]

Fuck you I'm an Anteater!

[Myal37]

whats the temperature range they have to be in?

[TamanduaGirl]

@Myal37 Ideally 75-80 as Stewie could get heat sick at 85F and sometimes Pua can shiver in low 70s but thy can take some more variance for shorter periods of time. They are not very good at regulating their own body temperature.

Ahh, I didn't know people could keep them as pets! Anteaters are so adorable!

[sarge1211]

imagine a GIANT anteater in a pink shirt

[TamanduaGirl]

@Thewoog She can run pretty fast but I could catch her.

[hushpuppy01]

That's one long tail. does it ever touch the ground?

[TamanduaGirl]

@hushpuppy01 Yes it starts to drag the ground when she gets tired.

If i was on a walk and i saw this my head would explode from how awesome it is

[AlicevsNemisis]

That is so cute.

[Starbuckfsd]

Looking pretty spiffy in that pink shirt Pua! :-)

[stellaluna4u2]

Does she let you carry her back to the car if she gets too tired on a walk? Love the pink striped shirt!

[TamanduaGirl]

We have a carry bag for her. One of those soft sided crates. If she gets to tired she will climb in and get a ride back in there.

What happens if they meet a dog when on a walk? Do dogs get aggressive?

[TamanduaGirl]

That is a fear of mine. I was told of this case where someone let their dog come sniff hello to a goat then the dog ripped the goats face off. So far they all just seem curious. I pic her up, if I see any off leash or once we get close and they are on leash. She doesn't like me picking her up though, wants to just keep going. One time she got down with a couple schnauzers and they just sniffed her. She ignores them, though at night she gets concerned when she hears dogs barking.
