What species of small dasyurid are kept in captivity, in particular:
Brush-Tailed Phascogale
Common Planigale
Red-Cheeked Dunnart

Thank you in advance
 
The only i thing i know reasonably sure is that for you to see any of the three in captivity, you'll have to go to Australia...
 
In light of my coming trip I'd like to revive this thread. So far I've found these species in Australian facilities:
-Dibbler (Perth Zoo)
-Phascogales (Red-tailed Phascogale at Perth, Taronga, etc.)
Probably at Small Native Mammal Teaching and Research Facility of Western Sydney university too
-Kultarr (Alice Springs Desert Park (still there?))
Maybe also at Small Native Mammal Teaching and Research Facility of Western Sydney university (haven't found the time to send them an e-mail about it yet)
-Dunnarts (Fat-tailed at Werribee, David Fleay, WILD LIFE Sydney (still there?), etc.; Stripe-faced and Sandhill Dunnart at Alice Springs Desert Park according to this thread)

In Europe:
-Kowari (all over)

Does anyone know if this list is still correct?
How about Mulgaras, Kaluta, Ningauis, Planigales, False Antechinuses or Antechinuses. Are any of them held anywhere (zoos, museums, unis, private) around Australia?
Are there species outside Australia other than Kowari? Any in America?




(Papuan Dasyures and Marsupial Shrews would be interesting too, but I'm assuming that they are not being held anywhere.)
 
I emailed Western Sydney university and they only have Red-tailed Phascogales, but no Kultarr
