Hi all, This may sound like a stupid question from someone that wants to breed the Nine banded Armadillo but upto now I couldn't compare the sexes and I can't...
The sexes in Nine-banded Armadillos are equally as easy to distinguish. One look underneath and you won't have any doubt. You will see an obvious penis on the...
Dear Glenn, This is a sure way to sex a Nine banded? Not that I'm doubting you but the dealer got 10 animals in and none have a visible penis. The dealer now...
We just arrived with our new member of the family! We had the chance to compare Snuitje (my female) to the other armadillo's that were sitting at the dealer....
Hi, My name is Tim Morris I live in Australia and am keenly interested in zoology. Alas, seeing, let alone keeping xenarthrans in Australia is virtually...
Hi Thomas, Your armadillo is a female. The dealer may just have 10 females. You will be able to tell when you see a male. When I catch them, I lift them up and...
Hi again, I just saw the pictures of your new addition, which is definitely a male. Aside from the penis, which quite often can be easier to see, compare the...
Hi Glenn, You pick them up by the tail? I've always been under the impression (also from stories from Americans I spoke to) that there's a huge risk of...
Most places no most states consider the wildlife there's But a rare one or two allow it on your land and some might give permits to trap them for various...
In reply to the last few postings: I can pick them up by the tail if they don't try to spin around. As I mentioned in a post recently, the tail will break if...
My male probably came from Florida. The exporter is located in Hollywood however. With Regards, Thomas Ezendam Tilburg, Holland Ulwembu Arachnological Survey...
Thats a cute video. Do you have any videos of when you first got her? I knew she was a wild caught and i was wondering how they acted when they first got...
So was wondering if it's common for them to stand on their heads to poop, lol. It's not to good but you can see she's on tip toe with her nose between her ...
... wildlife in order to possess an armadillo. It's the same permit for an individual, an educational organization, or a pet shop. It doesn't really make sense...

I was wondering which sex is better to get in a tamandua. Do males spray? Do females dribble (when in cycle)? Are females agreessive when in cycle? How often...
1.) Who all on here owns a tamandua as a PET? Is it only Mary_Chillover? sorry if spelled incorrectly. 2.)I have heard that kinkajous can always turn on you...
That's easy. Males are better for a house situation. Females cycled about every month to month and a half and they do spot blood and she will dribble urine...
Kinkajous and Tamanduas are two completely different classes of animals and
respond much differently to stimuli. I've worked with one kinkajou that was
only...
You must have a very special tamandua! The two at the zoo have a very
definite odor that's hard to describe. Everything in their building (
including their...
I've talked to lots of owners and keepers and even a few others that kept theres in the house(yes even slept in bed with but they aren't on the list) and it's...
Yea! She likes her vinegar finally! That does clear up the gas alot and
firms up the poop too. I sneaked some to the "kids" at the zoo the other day
and they...
Yes, Pua is very boned to me but fine with my parents and has played with them a bit. She's okay with strangers too just doesn't like being woken up for it....
I have to agree the Tams do have an odor, but it's not the animal itself. It's their poop and pee and occasional gas. I'm curious about the vinegar. Are y'all...
I have four Tams in my care and really find there to be no difference between a male or female personality wise. Maybe the cycling being a factor for a female,...
I use cider vinegar and mix it. She did like it at first when offered plain but it stung her nose and she freaked. Grooming like mad like trying to get ...
No, I am not looking for one as a pet. I am just very curious.. If you recall i did the same thing about sloths a while back. I just love xenarthras and i...
How was she when you got her home? Was she very agressive? How did you tame her if she was agressive?(she looks like she could do some major damage if she...
