@bartman67041 The lady in Texas spays and neuters hers before she sells them. She also removes their canine teeth, I think. I can't remember the ones. It makes them not so apt to hurt a person. They are pretty passive from what I have seen and been told if they are handled when babies.
@JSrEdnAs It is not illegal to have one in the US, but you do need to check with your State for it's own laws. I have a good friend that has one. I am actually babysitting it for a week now. and yes they are soooo much fun
Thats amazing! Going to try that with a cat toy.. a bit similar, but dont know if my lemurs are that smart ;) (nooo dont have them as pets, work in a zoo) Hope to put the video on youtube aswell...if they get it... x
@wwwkattasde You can buy ringtails here in the USA, mostly from Florida. You have to live in that state and can't buy them outside of the state. I know a lady in Texas that sells them. I am sure to get them in the state where they are sold, the sellers had to bring them from other states. It is a law that you can't buy them out of the state where they are sold. I am sure people do though. The lady in Texas sells hers for $1,800. She spays and neuters them before she sells them.
The Lemur is wondering... "how stupid is this human being..." This is not awesome. Any natural intelligence might find out the solution to this problem as fast as the lemur... the problem comes with us. our intelligence is unnatural and so we are. That's why we are amazed by the lemur's direct deduction intelligence. How stupid might we go... and how wrong... that's the question, not how intelligent the Lemurs are. They are far beyond us.
@kristengoulette would you believe it is a real dog toy... yep some dogs are smarter than others... just like some people are smarter than others... In fact technically since a well trained police dog has an IQ of about 70.. then some dogs are brighter than some people!
Is there a reason why you couldnt? Cuz if i could i know for a fact that i would have it taken care of. Speaking of that are they a hassle to care for?
is it illegal to have a pet lemur in the united states? cuz im sooooo getting one and callin em momo. and YES! i would treat it as if it where my own child!
@JSrEdnAs sheesh? maybe have a child? Those are perfectly legal... plus it'll eat the same stuff you eat, and eventually will actaully look after itself... Obviously one day you might have to teach it that it can't have everything it wants... like pet lemurs and whatnot...
