What this means for the build
- Barrier strength grade 2 with a minimum height of 3m is the Zoopedia requirement for this species.
- The Zoopedia lists a climb-proof barrier requirement: do not plan an open-top fence line.
- Keep the habitat between -25°C to 28°C; heaters and coolers are a running cost, not a one-off.
- Terrain mix must stay inside the ranges in the table: welfare checks the painted surface, not the object list.
- Plan at least 615m² of land area before adding shelter and enrichment objects.
- Shelter area of 10m² counts separately from the land area.
- Group size runs 1–3 mixed; overstocking shows up first as social welfare warnings.
