How do you take care of a sloth ?

Question

I just used the black market to purchase a sloth ....I do have some concerns,though . Will it be hard to take care of,what do they eat,do they need climate control,and are they good with other pets and chilren ?? ANY ADVICE ??

Answer 1

Kill it.

Answer 2

I had a sloth once, until he ate my neighbour and I had to sign him over to the Toronto Zoo:( And the thing that sucks is that this neighour already lost his daughter when my Sumatran Orang-Utan kidnapped him and sold her to the gypsies, who also took my orang-utan. RIP, munched by sloth.

My other neighbour was eaten by my hippo, even if he was defanged. So just feed your neighbour to him, but keep quiet about it. The neighbour who got eaten by my sloth flailed around too much and people complained about that.

Answer 3

Well, you will have to plant a tree in your back yard and flood the area with water, then bring it bales of leaves with plenty of insects in it for it to eat. The sloth will swim around in the water and grow algae in its hair and blend in so you will need to get a radio collar to track it around the yard and in the tree. You can contribute to scientific knowledge by doing what zoo people do: darting it out of the tree every day, tying it up in cords "in case it wakes up", then drawing blood from its neck and freezing it "in case someone needs to test something some time", then untying it and injecting it full of amphetamines to wake it up and running away when it wakes up strung out on speed, bruised from the cords, full of syringe holes, and anemic from blood loss. After all that manipulation then it will be like all zoo animals, metabolically unstable, resentful of humans, full of track marks on all its limbs, and either sterile or emotionally unable to raise a baby.

Answer 4

I'll tell you what I told you in your last question

:Umm yeah, no, NOT going to happen. Sloths are illegal to own. They are a wild animal. The only way to purchase one is if you have a special license (magicians and such get these to feature wild animals in their shows)

If you want one just as a pet, you are NOT going to get a license!

You can't just see an animal on animal planet, then go out and buy it. There are laws handling the poaching and distribution of wild animals. Most wild animals sold as illegal pets are captured from the wild as babies. Their mothers usually end up dieing in the process.

Not only that, but sloths are highly endangered in the wild, making it even MORE illegal to own. And sadder if you do own. Remember the way I told you they get most wild animals as pets? By killing the mothers and taking them as babies?

Leave the sloths in the wild and get a ferret"

Than I'll sit back and really hope you are joking.

You just bought one on the black market?!?

SURE!!!

Did you go to blackmarket.com? You should of gone to blackmarketsuppliesRus.net, they have MUCH cheaper stuff

...I hate people like you...

Answer 5

The best advise is to get away from the computer, have a snack, take a walk and go bed.

Getting A Little Habitat For Your Pet Sloth

You need a cage for your pet sloth or a cardboard box. As they get older you might want a cage for them. Or you can set a nice little free area for them. Get a fake medium size tree or get some bars (pull-up bars are the best because they are made for holding weight.They are well behaved, so you don't have to worry about them making a mess of everything. Get a small hammock and put it somewhere quiet in your house but make sure you're there most of the time. Otherwise they will start to whine. If you are going to be doing the laundry ect. ect. then just pick them up and hug them , they'll get the idea to cling on to you. Or if yours does'nt like the sound of that then just get a blanket and fold it like a hammock and tie it behind your neck. Then fix it into a pouch sort of and then put your sloth in there and let them do whatever. They love attention.

Playing With Your Sloth

Sloths love to play tickle, and peek-a-boo. Some of them might like different games, but these are the most popular. As strange as it sounds they love to give kisses. When you play tickle do not tickle them in these areas these areas are very sensitive: under arms, iner thigh , and there palms. They'll get a little sulky. But, if you give them a hug they'll come out of it. They love to play peek-a-boo under a blanket. They can play this game for hours.lol

Grooming Your Sloth

Your sloth will do most of the grooming but this will drive them crazy itching and itching. So to help them just get a big comb and go through it. Get the comb wet or you can give them a bath every 2 days. Make sure you dry them good though. They can get sick. They love it when you get ablow dryer, they'll start to fall asleep, so hold them when you do this that way they don't fall over.

Sloths Diet

When you have a pet sloth this can get pretty tricky. They like to eat bugs and leaves. They always have a snack around. Parasites are in there fur, thats why they itch. Anyway when they get some parasites on their claws they eat them. They can live off any kind of leaves so this isn't a problem. Take them out in your yard and let them scourage around for bugs or leaves. Get a baby bottle and put some water in it they'll suck on it and have their fill.
