I want a pet Armadillo

Recommended Posts

BTW... from an Armadillo FAQ I found...

Where can I buy an armadillo (Live or dead, for food or otherwise)?

I know of no company or restaurant that sells live armadillos. I have heard that some shops in San Francisco’s Chinatown sell dead armadillos for food.



... you will still be able to walk him around with a leash :D:D

Be careful with those critters! They have terrible eyesight, are not very smart, and can carry something very similar to leprosy.



Armadillo's are the only creatures besides humans that contract leprosy, and littermates are genetically identical. That makes them valuable for research on a cure for leprosy.
They also have really nasty claws!

Do armadillos carry diseases, such as leprosy?

Wild armadillos have been known to be infected with the bacterium that causes leprosy (Hansen’s disease). The only cases of transmission from armadillos to humans have occurred in rare incidents in which people ate undercooked armadillo meat.

You mean, take it for a drag...:D;)
So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

it's true, they are the 'natrual' carriers/hosts for leprosy - stick with a stuffed animal armidillo if you *really* want one....:P

I'm serious, the only times I've seen them is in books or on docos. and there's never a size reference for them, they could be as big as a German Shepherd, or as small as a Rat, and I'd not be surprised either way..

oh yea and without the bark....

Armadillos are small placental mammals of the family Dasypodidae, known for having a bony armor shell. Their average length is about 75 centimeters (30 inches), including tail.
