I wouldn't say they are the kind of pet you can handle a lot - although I am trying to handle my babies evey day (once they are old enough ) They are really quick and you need to be careful not to damage their tails which are delicate. They like to live in groups - so if you don't want babies you need to get a few of the same sex preferably girls. Their diet can be complicated but I get my food premade from the shop I got them from - New world exotics. They also need either red nectar or maple syrup and fruit but no veggies. If you keep your eye out you should get a few young on here - mine have just had a second litter but I am hopefully keeping them! There are quite a few sites if you google.

Hi, if you don't mind my asking what's the food you buy called and do New World Exotics deliver? Thanks!

No problem - I think they just call it APD mix. As they are so small a bag lasts ages - last time I was in they were setting up delivery, they have a website and usually update in the shops section so you shoul find the link there - if you can't find it pm me and I will look it up!
