skunks - about the same as a pedigree cat or dog, and definitely worth it

(and yeah, ok, so having snuff and the gang may bias me a little!)

Some nice cats such as good breeds of bengals can be upto £1000 or more.
Your paying for rarity and quality i guess. Anythings worth the money if you want it enough. It's just a draw back, and bad luck if you cant get the money.
lol

Oh yes! I would rather spend the money on my boy than a pedigree dog.. guess thats obvious seeing as I have a mongrel and a skunk

I dont know of any 'dillos available at the minute, Rory at TSKA will probably have an idea of when/if they'll be available.

Skunks at £400 - £500 quid, life span in captivity on average 10-12 years, works out at around £50 a year, a quid a week....what an absolute bargain to have such a fantastic animal in your life.

Sorry bit OT and not armadillos but just putting the prices into perspective, and as someone has already pointed out it's not like these animals are common and being bred like corns
