In the '60s when we lived in Kenya my family had a bushbaby (lesser galago) named Kitoto (Swahili for "little baby." I remember fondly the sight of him eating bananas (holding one with both of his perfect little hands (complete with fingernails). He also ate termites (a couple of inches long in Kenya) the same way: chomped their heads off.
I've been told by peole in the know that poachers in Africa use bananas and porridge as bait to catch the little bushbabies and then sell them thru blackmarket pet shops in Europe - sadly unlike this cute little guy most of the captured bushbabies don't survive in their new homes it's very sad.
So cute. Like a chinchilla with night vision googles. People don't buy stuff just because its cute. Chinchillas and Bush babies need a lot of attention and care. Impulse buying leads to critters dieing!
They are cute but like any exotic animal it would take a lot of work and there are unpleasant sides to ownership too such as how messy they are...since creatures like bushbabies are a type of monkey they might fling their own feces at you.
I've read up on sugar gliders and bushbabies because some states do allow people to keep exotic pets as long as they've done their homework, have a license, prepared the home properly, ect. and I've been wanting a pet and my father suggested maybe getting a sugar glider.
I had one. They do take a lot of time. As a student I didn't have the time. Traveling is a problem. I had to take him to a vet once for a few days when I left for an emergency. The vet fed it dry ferret food, which almost killed it. Just a heads up.
Its' fur looks alot like my chinchillas, does it feel like a chinchilla? They also look very similar in body shape and tail. Maybe their species are related.
They are one of the cutest and smallest primates! If they lived well in captivity I would get one. :P The are nocturnal though, it's better to play with them at night.
Oh by the way, it looks like that Disney cartoon character Stitch from Lilo and Stitch. The feet and ears just remind me of it, wonder if the people at Disney got their inspiration from that :D
I'm thinking about buying a bush baby but having a hard time finding people with personal experience. Any more video that you could show us??? Was it a good pet?
A Bush baby is a wild animal you shouldn't keep them as pets. The person filming this was probably at a rehabilitation centre or something.If you do decide to get one though (even though I hope you don't) please learn how to look after it properly. I have hand reared a bush baby but mine is now in the wild where it belongs.
looks like my sister hahaha
