Native mammals

Jonno how do they go inside? Do they dribble pee everywhere? Cause nothing smells worse than marsupial piss. It's even worse than cat musk!

 

[Jonno from ERD]

Yeah mate, she isn't toilet trained, hence the reason we normally interact with her in the bathroom so it can be mopped and cleaned afterwards. I'm actually getting really sick of having her inside but she isn't quite big enough to put her outside yet. They really do test your patience but your heart melts when you walk past and she runs to the front of the cage and shreeks until she gets a carrot.

[waruikazi]

Not really sorry, this shows it the best... which still isn't very good lol.

but the echidna mix..... ewwww.... its the grossest stuff ever ( the food hix was talking about earlyer) it smells gross.... it looks gross.... it is gross... especially when u have to clean the container it was in.... it had been sitting out in the sun for a day and it had gone all chunky and ewww... i almost through up

You should try mixing it up. That's even worse.

A friend of mine handraised a Western Quoll in WA years ago, asnd he said it was the tamest most affectionate pet he'd ever had - leaves cats for dead as far as pets go, he said. I've often thought I'd like to give a Tiger Quoll a go. Out of Ringtails and Brushtails, I'd take a Ringtail every time - not as big and boisterous, and doesn't smell as much.

Speaking of which, has anyone got/seen these womans self published books? Are they any good? She has books on Dunnarts, Quolls, Antechinus, possums, gliders and macropods.

never heard of them, but i might grab a copy of each one. They look pretty decent

 

[falconboy]

Thats what I was thinking.

 

[Hickson]

Never heard of her either. I'd have to look at the books to tell if they are any good or not, but if they are, that would be a bonus as they would fill a gap in the literature.

Can any native animals be kept in sydney?

Just bought all three, too.

Falconboy, if I'm revierwing, I won't ask for a discount.

Kratros - you can keep Dingos, Plains Rats and Spinifex Hopping Mice only.
