Mouse Lemurs

[glidergirl]

Here's a couple of pics of our Mouse Lemurs, we've been looking after them for someone for a while now, and he has now given them to us . These pics were taken after we'd just had them, they were both scruffy and a little on the lean side.





They were kept in a smallish viv for a short while, they still are in a viv as they need heat and they're so small (smaller than a Sugar Glider) they would easily escape from a cage. They will both take insects out of your fingers.

They're covered by CITES as all lemurs are. My first post probably sounded a bit odd 'he gave them to us', I should explain really. A very good friend of ours bought them, and due to issues at home he asked us to look after them for him. Anyway, a year later and he decided he cannot care for them, so he allowed us to keep them, he was more interested in their welfare than making any money off them. All he asks is if we decide to sell them he gets first refusal. Or if they breed he gets first refusal on the young. They are microchipped and have A10's so all above board.

OMG I'm sorry if that sounded as if I was accusing you of dodgy dealings!!! eek!!

No, I was just interested in the status of the species.

Sorry, should have been clearer
