BUSHBABIES AS PETS
Bushbabies are one of the most specialized species we raise here on the ranch. Bushies are little one-pound nocturnal small primates that can jump higher than 5 feet straight up. They have bold personalities that require their caretakers to keep them on a healthy 24hr routine. Bushbabies have pros and cons. Some pros are they are super soft, sweet-smelling, hearty, and affectionate; some cons are nocturnal, expensive diet, and in the primate family.
Bushbaby personality, what are bushbabies like?
The bushbaby is not similar to a dog or a cat, or really any other animal. During the day bushbabies sleep and are very quiet. They prefer to be left alone although I wake mine up every morning for a quick breakfast which they wake up for and go back to bed. You can interact with them during the day for small intervals (less than 1 hour) and let them go back to bed after. Keeping them up too long during the day is not good for them, do not attempt to transition your bushbaby from nocturnal to diurnal. In the evening your bushbabies will be very active and will be more willing and happy to play.
Considerations for temperature and proper food are important. They each have their own personality but in general, Bushbabies are extroverts who prefer to sleep or cuddle during the sunlight hours and will be active and more interactive at night.
