Am I right in thinking the zoozone 2 is unsuitable for a tenrec?
As title really - just doing a bit of research into these little creatures and wondering if we could provide a good home for them - only had a hedgie before

I have never owned a tenrec myself but I believe they are arborial so would need height in the cage therefore the zoozone wouldn't be suitable xx

Well it's possible I suppose but you would struggle with temps, although some people keep without aditional heat
However as above there aborial and therefore could climb out of the lid if there given things to climb on that are high enough

Thanks guys - it does look like the zoozone is not suitable. We watched a few video clips of them on You tube yesterday too and my 7 yr old actually pointed out that if we kept them in the zoozone they'd climb out! They are fascinating creatures but after doing a little more research I've decided we're best sticking with hedgehogs for now and perhaps considering tenrecs at a later stage - I was just tempted when I saw a pair of tenrecs for sale here in Ireland yesterday morning and that's such a rare occurence I just had to at least think about it

From what i gather tenrecs are have no association with hedgehogs what so ever. They c an look anything from a hedgehog to an otter etc. They are fascinating creatures however! xx

Yes, that's what I have now learnt too! Loved watching the video clips of them - so interesting!

Wow, what a great set up - thanks so much for showing me - really shows why a zoozone isn't enough!
