|
|
Hey, i know its not QUITE a reptile but i'm wondering if anyone know if it's legal to own a Capibara, if a DWAA is needed or if its just a big no-no. It'd be so nice to have a dog sized rodent wandering about i feel. _________________

it would be a very big sized dog like rodent and they are usually fairly nervous but relatively easy to keep if you have the land and license. |

yer you will deffinatly need a dwa they also breed very easily like most rodents so if you do keep them it may be hard to move on the young _________________ if you cant afford the vet, dont get the pet! |

As the others have said, they are on the DWAL, not a species I would recommend keeping, females can get quite aggressive!
However if you have the land and suitable containment then its up to you

I have seen a few of these on the verge by the road between Brandon and Thetford at night. Stopped right beside one and took a photo but camera phone was poo. It was very calm and let me get really close - could have popped it in the car Go collect your own! |
