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.

yes what i thought, other than b+w ruffed, ring tails and white fronted do they keep any others?

 

[bloodycurtus]

3 b+w ruffed 2 red ruffed 2 ringtailed 5 whitefronted 3 mayotte and 2 mongoose lenurs one of the white fronted is housed with the mongoose lemurs
