What this means for the build
- Barrier strength grade 1 with a minimum height of 1m is the Zoopedia requirement for this species.
- Keep the habitat between 14°C to 33°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 100m² of land area before adding shelter and enrichment objects.
- Shelter area of 2m² counts separately from the land area.
- Group size runs 20–500 mixed; overstocking shows up first as social welfare warnings.
