I was asking for AZA and EAZA captivity but thanks anyway. I know that earthworms are hard to keep in captivity and there's no need for them.
Are These in Captivity? #2
- Thread starter The Cassowary
- Start date
I did see Gippsland Giant Earthworm back in the day in the Giant Earthworm Museum; now closed.
Little barrier giant weta (D. heteracantha) are housed at Auckland Zoo and Butterfly Creek, Mahoenui Giant weta (D.mahoenui) are kept off display at the Otorohanga kiwi house, and i think some other facilties may house the Cook Strait giant wētā (D.rugosa)
What termite species are held in captivity?

Reticulitermes speratus are found at Tama Zoo. Zoo Basel has some Macrotermes species. Audubon Insectarium has Formosan Subterranean Termite and Native Subterranean Termite. ABQ BUGarium has Pacific Dampwood Termite. Tierpark Dahlholzli has some species of African termite

Red Squirrels kept In Zoos other than prevost i really can't think of any other captive species except for the Squirrels that are at Taronga.
I really want to see the Red Squirrel with tufted ears. I think it's cheaper for me to visit a US Zoo than European zoo to see one

Well, if Zootierliste is anything to go by, Red squirrels are way more common in European captivity than in American facilities.
British red squirrel - 19 facilities (All in the UK)
Central European red squirrel - 72 facilities (All in Europe)
Costa Rica variegated squirrel - 5 facilities (4 in Germany, 1 in the US)
Eastern grey squirrel - 12 facilities (5 in Europe, 7 in the US)
Eurasian red squirrel - 27 facilities (All in Europe)
Fox squirrel - 4 facilities (All in the US)
Japanese squirrel - 10 facilities (All in Europe)
Pyrenean red squirrel - 6 facilities (All in Europe)
Red squirrel - 62 facilities (60 in Europe, 2 in the US)
Red-flanked variegated squirrel - 8 facilities (All in Europe)
Siberian red squirrel - 7 facilities (All in Europe)
Of course, the US isn't nearly as up-to-date as Europe in ZTL, and most squirrels are held in very small facilities that aren't exactly worth a visit
Red squirrels (the tufted ear species) are easy enough to see in the wild in Europe (including Scotland)
Walleye are fairly common in zoos and aquariums within their native range. ZTL lists 18 holders in North America and there are definitely more that are missing.

What about In AUS
I highly doubt there are any Walleye in Australia.

Madagascan Giraffe Weevils in captivity?
Seems so
Red giraffe weevil beetle
Pro tip: if you add "for sale" to the species you're looking for, chances are there's going to be at least one seller (barring you're not looking for orcas or mountain gorillas)
For pretty cheap, too!
You might want to add the airplane fuel to the expense
