@DominatedSodaCan I'd recomend waiting till you live on your own, and preferably own your home. They can be stinky. Stewie went through a phase of tearing holes in the wall. Not good in someone else's home.
But they generally do okay with other pets. Just be careful introducing them and don't leave them alone together.
"Nudist pets people" THAT just too darn funny. I put knickers on anything that I can! and will surely put a coat on an animal that is shivering. I L-O-V-E the shirt as warm-ups, it's not like your trying to put her in frilly lace dresses and turn her into a child - we live in the Pacific Northwest, animals from South America deserve a little extra to battle our weather.
@CarnalContessa I use a heating pad with her sometimes but unless she feels like laying in her hammock she moves away from it and sits there shivering instead. With a shirt she can run around till she warms up.
Yeah I guess you could call it vibrating. Shivering is the muscles twitching to try and heat the body up. They have slow metabolisms so it can take them awhile to warm back up.
She hisses if upset about something but I've not noticed that in association with being cold.
I've obviously been watching too many reruns of "What Not to Wear," because all I could think while watching this was, "That shirt is fits perfectly through the shoulders and flatters Pua's waistline, while the soft pastel shades bring out the lustre of her fur."
She never had interest in clawing the furniture. Stewie did tear holes in the wall when he was upset about Pua being ill and I put cayenne pepper powder in the holes. If he did claw at the couch I moved him to the cat condo.
Why does Pua wear clothes? Is she cold all the time? She does look cute in that shirt but I'm glad my owner doesn't make me wear clothes. But maybe it's just because I'm shaped weirdly.
She's not cold all the time but she does get cold easily. Tamanduas are not very good at regulating their body temperature. They do best when the temp is kept between 65-80. But I've seen them shiver even at 65 sometimes.
Anteaters are class !

No Pua uses a pee pad or they can use a dirt box. They like to pee and poop in separate places as well.

How long do anteaters live?
silkhi1122330 2 years ago
Oldest so far was 19yrs so into their teens. That's tamanduas. Some giant anteaters have lived into their 30's
