What this means for the build
- Barrier strength grade 4 with a minimum height of 2m 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 -15°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 970m² of land area before adding shelter and enrichment objects.
- Shelter area of 30m² counts separately from the land area.
- Group size runs 1–2 mixed; overstocking shows up first as social welfare warnings.
