    Default Jo needs a group of these.

    Saw these in a large LFS and pet shop and they are a MUST for Jo on here.

    Yep but they are. I wonder how long it will be before they are reported to the RSPCA?

    Well that all depends if they where born and reared in captivity. As they will be very socialable with Humans and this isnt a good thing in the wild

    Very cute though

    I don't think they will be reported, their enclosure looks really good. I remember seeing one in an indoor rabbit cage once in a pet shop, now that was cruel.

    Apparently they go from anything from £600 to over £1000. They don't make good pets as they like to tunnel and live in social groups of upwards of 30. There is lots of info on the net inc complaints about pet shops keeping them in poor conditions. They don't like being caged and have large territories to roam. They like to burrow and dig for their food so few people can provide for their needs

    Aww how cute. I don't need them though as I have my hands full with all my chameleon and gecko babies lol plus my dogs would think they were toys. I saw some in a pet shop in Nottingham but they weren't for sale. They are gorgeous little things.
