The species reproduces well and quickly under the right circumstances. Up to the point that you'll soon need a bigger enclosure. Or keep males and...
As much as I like ball pythons: an enclosure that size is wasted on them. Neither will any visitor see any hero shrew in that kind of scenario....
Sicilian, Sardinian or Maltese - I don't care, as long as this is going to enable future me to see them in the flesh one day.:D Now all we need is...
It won't work like that. Good luck, anyway. Citizen conservation is an umbrella term for several projects that involve private dedicated and...
You're better off aiming for UIZA membership than EAZA. And no offence - many of the animals I keep are not that "common in the pet trade", as you...

If I remember correctly, a proposition of that nature was brought up about six years ago and has now found its way into legislation. But also in...
It appears that it's early Christmas this year for the Spanish anti-zoo lobby, as according to the latest Spanish animal rights update, Spanish...
A lot of smart and thoughtful posts so far. I doubt that the ongoing standardisation of major zoos and their species collections can be stopped,...
Then why did you add your two cents to a thread solely dedicated to great apes? Which happen to be mammals...
I can imagine the animated reactions of zoos barred from keeping meerkats and other over-represented popular species: "How come that neighbouring...
