They're DWA, here are some
Ring Tailed Lemurs - £2,650.00 : TSKA Exotics!, Specialist Keepers Association

Might be worth PMing Nerys for info, theres also somebody here who keeps them but their name escapes me...glidergirl is it?

Amalthea · Feb 17, 2009

Yes, glidergirl is right. Also, they need company of their own kind, so you can't just get one.

I was just going to mention about the noise. You're neighbours won't thank you! We have enough trouble keeping ours sweet with the owl screeching!!

And a cricket or two that might have wandered next door.

Dread to think what they'd say about lemurs!!

We have a pair of ringtails (and 2 babies) and they're not noisy. Are you thinking of Ruff Lemurs - now they ARE noisy!

Oh - our lemurs are not for sale BTW.

do not get a lemur

The worst thing you could do is buy a lemur. I have a female ringtail who I am trying to rehome to a zoo as it is so unfair for her to be without her own kind. I have realised its cruel because they are highly sociable so please dont get one

did you buy just one, or did you used to have more?

This is just to back up what has already been said:

1] You should be looking at a pair, not a single.

2] You will need a dwa and pl [Dangerous Wild Animals' Licence & Public Liability Insurance]

3] You will need a sizeable enclosure, that will cope with the lemurs requirements and stimulation.

4] You should have if not already have done extensive research on your chosen species.

5] And as Marie has said its not the Ring Tails that are the noisy ones, more like the Ruffed species which can make a hell of a racket.
