OK, hear me out here. Before you get a loris, think about the following.

A pet loris is a bad idea. They are a wild animal, illegal to own, and despite their cute appearance they have several characteristics which make them a terrible choice for a pet.

First of all, if you find a pet loris it will most likely have its canine teeth broken or pulled out by the seller so it can't bite. Having these teeth removed also means the loris will not be able to properly eat the foods it normally eats in the wild, such as lizards and other live prey. It's also just plain cruel!

Next, the loris's bite is toxic! The loris secretes a foul smelling toxin from its elbows which it licks and then delivers with a bite. Having the canine teeth removed doesn't prevent a toxic bite, because the venom is delivered by the smaller teeth which are specially curved for this purpose.

The loris also marks its territory with urine. Constantly. For the span of its entire life. This is not a habit that can be changed like house training a cat or dog - the loris is wild and doesn't care that you don't like your house smelling like pee.

I won't even mention the cruelty of taking a wild animal out of the wild, often times killing the mother to get the baby so you can have a novelty pet.

Don't get a loris unless you want your house to smell, yourself to be in danger of a toxic bite, and the guilt of forcing a wild animal to comply to your life style just because you think it's cute. It doesn't make sense. Don't do it.
