1. Upon purchase of a lemur consider that males behave more quietly, than females. Make sure that the animal was grown up in bondage. Sometimes wild lemurs are caught in the jungle of Madagascar and transported smuggling. Ask about breed of a primacy, learn what he will become when grows.
2. Buy a cage for monkeys of the small size (rods should not be metal), place in it several branches of trees, ropes, crossbeams that the lemur could climb them. Make to it a berth – find the box suitable by the size, put in vatu or dry hay. A cage stand in the warm corner where there are no drafts. Lemurs are sensitive to cold and often get sick with colds, it is tropical animals. But in the warm apartment to them it will be comfortable. You watch purity of a cage – it needs to be removed, wiped often a floor and to fill sawdust. It is convenient to have a removable pallet in a cage, it is so easier to wash it.
