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.

Answer 5

If you have to ask this question, you are not ready.

Let me say that they are NOT pets. If you wish to keep them (and you most certainly can't just get one!) it would have to be in a zoo-like setting, where they have a massive, natural enclosure. Their care alone will take you a few good hours every day, for up to 20 years. You also need to limit handling considering they are toxic. And all of their maintenence, plus exotic vet care, plus regularily updated license can be a couple thousands yearly.

Because they are commonly ripped out of the wild, you need to find a suitable breeder. You can ONLY get captive born animals. Keeping wild animals is illegal. Breeders will charge a couple thousands for one. Remember that you need two or more.

If you genuinely understood and loved the species, you would leave them in the wild where they belong.
