Occuring naturally the male and female would only stay together during courtship and mating. The male would then leave prior to the babies being born leaving the female to have the babies and feed them and care for them. I would not leave a male racoon in with the female after breeding has occured. They are loners by nature - definitely not monogomous and they can be quite aggressive.

We got a black Teddy Bear Hampstear almost 1 month ago. He is getting very familiar with us now, but when we try to pick him up he gets very jumpy. Starting to wonder if this thing is anti social. He will take snacks from our fingers and wood sticks from us, and we can pet him too. Just not so sure about picking him up. (The last time I tried he bit me, got 2 fingers with one bite - I'm kind of apprehensive to try again too!)

These guys do enjoy company. Having two will give them some entertainment when you can not provide it. So I guess it really depends on how much time you have to be with your pig.

Did you get a second Guinea? Our guinea looks identical to the one in the Abyssinian photo... we have been strongly considering a cage mate but are not sure if the cage size will accommodate two piggies!

I am so relieved to see these comments! I had bunnies growing up, never knew the breed. I realize reading up that they were white New Zealands. I just talked to a rabbitry who said they don't recommend this breed for pets because they are aggressive. And they are bred for meat and fur! I took her word for it. But, when I looked them up and realized what they were- I thought- my bunnies were New Zealands and they were adorable, wonderful pets! I loved them. They let me hold them, they fell asleep on my lap. The only reason I may not go with them as I'm looking for one now for my kids first bunny- is I think I may not be able to give a bigger bunny as good of a life if they need more room for exercise. So, a smaller breed may enjoy a better quality of life at our home.

Just so you know, it is ILLEGAL to keep a ringtail possum as a pet in Australia!! It is in fact ILLEGAL to keep any Australian wildlife as a pet without a permit, and a ringtail possum is CERTAINLY included in this. If you have a possum, you MUST have a carers permit for it issued by the government

I can't find any info as to a Jersey Wooly rabbit's wool can be used for fiber as it is with angora rabbits. If anyone knows please let me know. Also is their a difference between a Jersey Wooly and a Jersey Wooly Dwarf Angora rabbit?

No the rabbit you got; Jersey Wooly, is a Jersey Wooly they are dwarf, some call them dwarf angoras. Yes the rabbit can be used for fur. You just won't get as much since the rabbit is smaller.
