A very small, private owned zoo which houses mainly small mammals. Today the park recieved 13 Steppe lemmings which will soon be on public view ( FB ).
The smallest mammal-species at Kleindierpark has reproduced : a nest of Eurasian harvest mice has born .
Some nice breeding-results : 3 Chinese rock squirrels x Chinese striped tree squirrel and for the second time this year Meerkats .
Due to the good breeding-results the following animals will leave the park next week : 0.0.7 Coypu 2.2.0 Wild cavy 1.0.0 Azara's agouti 1.0.0 Zebra mongoose For the hand-raised Chacoan mara male a new female will arrive soon.
Commotion about the confistigation of 4 coypus ! Because of the ( European ) law which forbid the breeding of surtain animal-species, Kleindierpark was visited by some officials in 2017 to check if the rules were followed up. The park should recieve a report about the findings but didn't get it and in the meantime 4 coypu's were born. Last week the park was visited by Stichting AAP which hadwas ordered to confitigate the latest-born 4 coypu's, leaving 4 older females at the park. Because the park sofar has not recieved the end-report of the 2017-inspection, they didn't know about this confistication but already had planned to castrate the single male-young ( the other 3 being females ) to full-fill the law. Now they go trying to get back their animals.... : https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1068175839990645
That is true, they have these behind the scenes, however their goal is to get them visible for the public in the future!
Next to the Lesser bamboorat, the park now has also obtained a male of the Large bamboorat ( Rhizomys sumatrensis ) .
