Lutzd (& anyone else who has an Olive) how big is your enclosure & what would be an ideal size for a full-grown Olive?
Thanks,
Kath

I am asking about enclosure sizes because I would love to get an Olive but won't buy one if I can't provide it with what it needs to be happy (no matter how much I love Olives). So if we can't fit the right sized enclosure or can't find a reliable food supplier or simply can't afford the food bill for it then I won't get one. :cry: (Darn the need to be responsible & adult!)
On that note, those who own an adult sized Olive, how much do they eat in a month?
Thanks,
Kath
KathandStu said:Olivehydro: Thanks for the specific floor size minimum. Re: the food. 1-2 adult rats per week/fornight?! That is much less than I thought. I had visions of rabbits & chooks every month! A couple of rats every fortnight I can manage! (I even have a pet store near-by (well an hours walk away) which can provide that!) So they don't need rabbits or other bigger food items?
Also I have read that Olives are ot aboreal but was reading an article which had a photo of an adult olive in a tree eating fruit bats! Was that just an abberation?
