Are they hard to domesticate? Do they mind if you stroke/cuddle them?

@LemonZeppelin They are hard to take care of but personality wise they are great. Pua plays and snuggles with me. The only one that doesn't like to be touched is the rescue, Aurora.

It's a wild animal. You took it out of its niche. I hope your house is at the same humidity and temperature as its natural environment.

I also hope you have proper veterinary care for it.

[TamanduaGirl]

@SnazzyArcade Yes I did years of research before getting her so she is well taken care of.

I see a huge piece of crap in the backround

@LIKEballsINmyMOUTH69 Not really, they don't eat spiders. We don't usually have ants but will let her lick them up if some show up and they stop coming after awhile. Bear in mind if you were infested with ants or termites they would tear the walls apart to get to them.

I love her little face

There's a local holocaust going on there inside that glass!!!

Like fine wine!

Please keep the bullshit political debates off the comments here. People raise and keep these animals for valid reasons.

@drederprops Of course you can if you care for it right and follow the laws. I mean say someone bought a zoo but kept the animals and cared for them all the same as when the zoo was open but closed it and only kept them for themselves, it wouldn't suddenly be wrong just because they are now pets instead of a business venture.

@bxkforu101 They tend to sleep all day so if you worked during the day then yeah it would be no problem but it's a good idea to have a room that's made safe for them in case they do get up. They can be destructive.

@constipatedclown They are very nonaggressive. Pua is especially sweet. They wont harm anyone except in self defense.

@fantax929 There's no such thing even though marketed that way. Vegan means no animal products. Cats and some dog breed need taurine for example and there is no way to get that except from flesh. You can buy taurine supplement but it's derived from flesh. Even in humans true vegans are not healthy unless they take supplements to replace what can only be taken from flesh and some of those supplants also can only be made from flesh.
