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.
- Water barriers are accepted for this species, so a moat can replace part of the fence.
- Keep the habitat between 18°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 210m² of land area before adding shelter and enrichment objects.
- Shelter area of 2m² counts separately from the land area.
- Group size runs 3–30 mixed; overstocking shows up first as social welfare warnings.
