Lemur Basics

Lemurs are native to the island of Madagascar, making them an exotic and rare pet choice. They have a lifespan of 10+ years, which means they can become a long-term companion for you and your family. When it comes to their diet, lemurs primarily consume leaf eating pellets and assorted fruits. It’s important to provide them with a balanced diet that includes fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. However, it’s crucial to avoid feeding them chocolate, fruit cores, grapes, and artificial sweeteners, as these can be harmful to their health.

Size and Housing

At adulthood, female lemurs typically weigh around 5 pounds and measure 15-18 inches in length. When it comes to housing, it’s essential to provide them with a spacious and stimulating environment. The larger the cage, the better, and if possible, consider placing it outside. Lemurs prefer to be up in the trees, as they are naturally adapted to a tropical upper canopy environment. Make sure to include trees or tree-like structures in their enclosure, along with stimulating toys like ropes, vines, hammocks, and branches.

Social Interaction and Bonding

Lemurs are highly social animals, both in the wild and in captivity. Consider getting more than one lemur to ensure they have companionship. Spending quality time with your pet lemur is crucial for their well-being and social connection. They rely on their human caregivers for interaction and mental stimulation. Plan to dedicate a significant amount of time to bond with your lemur outside of their enclosure.

Care and Maintenance

Taking care of a lemur requires dedication and commitment. Their care involves cleaning enclosures, providing proper social interaction, routine and emergency medical attention, and preparing a nutritious diet. Lemurs do not require regular baths, but you can clean them with baby wipes as needed. Keep in mind that they will always have a natural odor, regardless of cleaning efforts.
