Dillan armadillo and Cat are best buds

Dillan is a pet armadillo. I DO NOT recomend as a pet. Not a family pet. Check local, state and city laws, consult local veterinarians, animal health issues and zoonotic diseases, and local government regulations, and always do what is best for the animal. song is 1234 by FEIST

a small animal vet this last winter was talking about her hens not laying as winter came because it was cold; this is not a wrong observation but for researchers in avian repro, chicken farmers, and exotic vets we would know otherwise;  Day light plays a much greater role in avian ovulation. I am just saying you are observing this and need to do more research.

I took vet classes, taught vet students and have worked with exotic veterinarians since I was 10 years old. I didn't go to one of the 27 vet schools in the US nor pay $250,000 on my education but I own this animal, have worked with many, and can honestly say she is not "humping" her blankets. Her ovulation behavior includes increased running, searching behavior, awake for 4 times than whats normal. This is a solitary species that dosn't have a high sexual drive; ovulating once a year.

so i guess im the only one who knew that the armadillo was actually fucking that blanket. yes people that is exactly what it was doing. i'm a vet and know these tendencies LOL

@texaspete27938 ...you are not a vet. this animal only has one cycle a year and she i not sexually driven like your dog. & her hormone levels are indicating she has not ovulated. & watch the videos. She is moving objects for bedding. She is not like your dog that will hump objects & female dogs cycle on average 6 months.

@texaspete27938 you are wrong. and if you are actually a vet you need to do more research. She is not doing a sexual action; if you watch her behavior (not in small edited clips as this shows) but in reality it is obvious that she is not doing anything sexual. She gathers up the bedding and stuffs it into corners or to her cage as she is seeking to build her bedding up. the digging behavior was modified with blankets so she curls them up then moves them around that way

I know you do not recommend Armadillos as pets, but damn they are cute. And this gathering/jumping habit is just to die for ^^; That makes me want to gather (haha) all informations I can on those little critters, 'dillo-proof my house and adopt one. But I live in Canada and... I don't think an armadillo would be comfortable here, sadly... Your Dillan is very cute. ^^

I am a vet, go fuck yourself.

we are not talking about a smart animal here.

@Indirectcell you are wrong and need to do more research. I assure you; Dillan is not humping blankets. watch her other videos since you can't see her in reality. I have worked in the field of exotic animal medicine for many years and know exotic animal behavior. Armadillos also mate on their back. On slick floors she puts the blanket under her to re-locate it/jumping but as soon as she gets to carpet she doesn't do the jumping thing but reverts back to scrunching it.

@equinevetmed no, it was actualy humping that blanket, females and males do it alike, sure it might look like its moveing the blanket to a more suitable location, but it was indeed humping it. Im a vet aswell

[WhiteyBFresh]

She is too cute! I think Dillos are just adorable. I had the chance to play with a couple of baby dillos when I was in Texas. They were too cute.
