Where in South Australia, can I get a chipmunk for a pet?

Answer 1

Simple answer, you can't! They aren't available here in Australia, and there is no importing of any sort of animals at all. Perhaps you should consider a native aussie as a pet? Ringtail possums, sugar gliders, dunnarts, etc.... I also live in SA and am a wildlife carer. Consider getting involved with a group like Native Animal Network. We can help you learn how to care for and then acquire a native to keep as a pet. http://www.communitywebs.org/NativeAnimalNet/default.htm There have been many studies done regarding the successful release of wildlife orphans. Most don't make it! In SA the law actually forbids the release of any animal or bird that has become humanised. I have many many animals living with me that are from the wild, and that would be dead if me or someone like me wasn't prepared to give them a life long home. These animals weren't just randomly taken from the wild. They are either the survivors of road accidents or other mishaps that have left their parents dead or the animal abandoned. And I can guarantee you that they are very happy content little beasties.

Answer 2

i can't say weather or not they would make a good pet or not some people are against makeing wild animals pets they always think domsticated pets make the best choices humm but were are domesticated animals come from funny lol they came from the wild at one point. I know a guy use to have pet raccoon. That raccon would follow the man every were just like a well trained dog, and his favorite food was hard boiled eggs .

Answer 3

What's wrong with leaving wild animals alone and getting a domesticated pet? Wild animals don't do well in homes or they would have moved in with us like the dog did.

Answer 4
