Kowarii Husbandry

[Nic Johnston]

Hi everyone,

Hoping to figure out where to find husbandry manuals for Kowarii.

Im aware they were in Europe for a while and wasn't sure if reaching out to the zoos over there would be useful?

Thanks in advance.

The species is still held in Europe - in about 5 collections, 2 of them German.
Though perhaps they were more widespread in years before - I remember seeing one ["Frank"] at Bristol Zoo in 2018.

The best person to contact would be an ESB Program coordinator in EAZA - Mrs. Kerstin Ludmann, zoological assistant at Wilhelma Zoo Stuttgart / Germany. Here you can find e-mail address and phone number by searching for her name.
