Brown Bears.

[snakelover]

Ok ive seen alot of animals advertised since keeping reptiles, lions, tigers, zebra, monkeys...never a brown bear.

My dream animal would be tiger or brown bear.

I have seen Tiger, so i was just intrested to know the price for a brown bear

i dont think there are any bears kept in private collections, apart from heythrop which have a polar bear,black bears and brown bear???
there used to be a brown bear kept in scotland a long time ago but not sure what happened to that maybe someone else will know?
tbh they would need extremely large enclosures about same size as a large big cat enclosure and so this is probably why people dont keep them therefore i couldnt put a price on them but would guess ALOT

Thanks for reply.
You say they need a enclosure the same as large cats, but people keep large cats and large cats are really not that expensive, so i wouldnt be suprised if brown bears were not too expensive either.

Before i began keeping reptiles and looking into exotic mammals i though tigers and lions would of cost a BOMB, but they really dont.

most of the money goes on enclosure and feeding (which would cost hundreds a months if not more) hence why they are soo cheap, as there isnt much of a market for them but because there arent as many bears i would have thought they would be expensive due to rarity and importation of them just a guestimate.
