Did anyone hear the quote on the WB show "Jack and Bobby" last night? The quote was "You have a job that can be accomplished by a lemur." I thought it was...
I didn't watch the show but the tone sounds like it is was indeed meant as a derogatory remark. Have mercy on those ignoramuses. They know now what they say. ...
Ringtails exist in an orderly society, care for their young and family, mourn their dead, live in balance with their environment and settle territorial...
Well, I posted this because I was amused (note the smiley emoticon in my message) they used "lemur"--how often does one hear "lemur" in a fictional context on...
... I'm no expert, but I think you may be idealizing lemur behavior a wee bit. Ask any primatologist about competition within and between groups. ... ...
... I took the minute to register and then tried to view the cams but got a server error each time I clicked on one of the links. The popups are weird; not...
... Vance, three letters: PBS :-) Did anyone happen to catch the Kratts yesterday on tv? I heard the Oxygen channel is supposed to re-run the show. After the...
i care for 2 Coquerel's Sifaka and 2 blue-eyed lemurs and i feel very priviledged to do so. however, from personal experience i must say there is some merit to...
Which browser are you using? I'm getting a website timed out error. Maybe too many users. (I tried Firefox and IE. I see what you mean in IE.) --Yvonne...
i suppose i was a bit hard on us humans, who have much good to offer the world (most of which is indeed on cable). i suppose also that if it served the...
I hate to disagree, but working with ring-tailed I've seen a number of battles, violent, wound causing battles. Sometimes over females, sometimes infanticide,...
remarkable. i've never heard of such behavior, though it is impossible to dispute direct observations. i really have to get down to duke primate center for...
I have two black and white ruffed lemurs and am going to start training them. I was wondering if anyone knew of a good treat for them? The healthier the...
Ask the folks at DUPC (Duke University Primate Center) I saw all kinds of snacks there when I was there. I think they even had some "Lemur Chow" made up. In...
The ones at Zoo Atlanta seem to like sweet potatoes/carrots which can be cut into small bites. We also have leaf-eater biscuits (soy protein biscuits with...
Hi Randi, We train the lemurs at Zoo Atlanta with raisins and grapes. The raisins are small enough to not take too long to eat, and grapes can be tiny, or can...
Thank you all for all the suggestions but I have one question. I was told that our lemurs love grapes and raisins too, but that they weren't really suppose to...
Hi Randy, High iron content in grapes: Below some literature about problems with too much iron in the food, in Lemurs and some general information. Not very...
Randi, High iron in what? Raisins? I wouldn't give them 1/4 cup of raisins, but assuming you are doing a 5-10 minute training session, with one raisin per...
Hi Group, We also use raisins as a training only item for our ruffs, blue- eyeds, ring-tails and occasionally sifaka. Excluding the sifaka, the lemurs all...
Dear Mandy et al, I would be very interested in seeing the research done by your nutritionist. Of course I do not know exactly what diet she is suggesting, so...
Thank you all for all of your replys it has helped a lot. I would really like to see that research as well on the iron. I still wonder about raisins though, ...
If there is anyone who takes care of black and white ruffed lemurs, could you please email me the complete diet given to them? I am looking to possibly change...
omigod i was in hysterics watching that! i can't wait to see it. i so need a good laugh right now. they could've done way better on the lemur animations but we...
