when is watching zoo babies tonight i noticed how small the lemur enclosures seemed especially the white fronted one, does anyone think they are?

and also what mammals do blackbrook keep?

thanks

In my opinion they are on the small side, but they were heavily stocked either. From another thread I was told that Blackbrook are intending to reduce the number of species and maybe open up the pens.

Other mammals include several species of tamarin and marmoset, meerkat, short-clawed otter and muntjac (nothing particularly amazing; birds are their big thing). There were plans to add red river hog, but I'm not sure whether they have followed through.

the main problem with the lemur pens is that they are long and very thin hopefully somthin will be done soon.
