I have two baby lemming available now at £10 each, I am pretty sure they are a male and female but I am getting them double checked this morning.
can be collected from me or I will be in enfeild saturday. (6th november)
these need a sugar free diet so one for degu's if ideal.

these are not worried by humans and make great display pets as well as can be handled ( although I wouldnt let very young children handle them as they are tiny)

those are some of the cutest things I have ever SEEN!

I wish we had more exotic rodents over here. :|

 

[laoshu]

They are lovely arnt they.. I cant get over how confident they are.

these have been checked and they are male and female

How can they be kept? Same tanks/tubs like mice? Do they need a certain temp?

 

[laoshu]

I keep mine in the shed with the mice (not in same tank though :lol: )
they like to run about so a long tank or a tank with a wheel
fill tank with enough hay and sustrait for them to burrow in and a few hides
Nothing to high as they are not good climbers.

I would so be interested, but very, very poor right now! hehe

So they would be okay with the cold winter temps? And what food do you give? I remember spotting these last year at some point on a youtube vid and think they are gorgeous, but there is hardly any info about them on the net, and most of it doesn't match!

They should be good in the shed in winter and summer, here is a snippet I found about the temps where they are found in the wild

Extremes can be recorded in the summer of up to 40 °C (104 °F) and in winter, -40 °C (-40 °F).

I am guessing the burrows they make will protect them from the extream cold in winter and the heat so in summer if the shed gets hot you might have to be careful but in winter as long as they have enough hay they should be fine :O)

I have not owned lemmings long but mine seem to be doing very well on the diet I was recomended which is degu mix or chinchilla and carrots, hay,kurly kale, and other greens.

Its something I may consider in the future definately! Once my mice are through in the garage and I have more space to play with!

See you at the show later Kelly! You bringing mice and rats I can play with yes? hehe

 

[laoshu]

I will see you soon.. and yes I will have stuff to cuddle.. I am fetching some rats for id on their colour.

I dont know if you can keep them or not in the US sorry :? I would guess you could??

I have another litter of these ready in a couple of weeks time. I think I have 1 male two females available but I will double check the sexes in the next day or two.

 

[laoshu]
