❤️Luca is one of our recent brown lemur surrenders who’s only been known to target two people so far and both happened to be women. So naturally because I make excellent life choices I decided to take the risk and see what happened.
🫣Truthfully I wasn’t sure if Luca would form a bond with any of us. Many surrendered primates arrive with complicated histories and every animal adjusts differently. But so far, he has absolutely exceeded expectations and has been nothing short of adorable.
⚠️Now before anyone watches this video and decides they need a lemur, let’s talk reality.
Lemurs are terrible pets I don’t care what a breeder told you.
‼️Whether it’s a ring tailed lemur, ruffed lemur or a brown lemur like Luca, they all reach sexual maturity and most become increasingly difficult to manage.
🩸They can be incredibly aggressive, cause serious injuries, and have sent more owners, family members and friends to the hospital than I can count.
🔴They can climb literally every surface in your home so kiss your decorations goodbye!
And no they do not potty train.
Cute baby lemurs grow up & The challenges don’t go away.
🏠That’s why facilities like Wildlife Wonderland are so important. We take in the animals that many others won’t the ones that come with significant risks, behavioral issues, and complicated histories. Animals that need a place to go when their owners realize they were never meant to be pets in the first place.
🐒Here in Texas, lemurs are unfortunately sold far too often and rescues like ours are desperately needed to give them a safe place when things don’t work out.
🫶If you’d like to support Luca and the rest of our rescue residents we’d be incredibly grateful.
