Building the habitat

The land area is a hard floor: 425 m² for the enclosure itself, plus 11 m² of shelter on top. Barrier grade 2 at 1.25 m contains the animal without overspending on fencing you do not need.

Keep the habitat inside 14–41 °C. Temperature is one of the most common reasons a habitat quietly loses welfare, because it never triggers the alarm that hunger does.

Group limits matter more than most players expect: mixed groups run 3–36, capped at 36 male and 36 female. Exceeding the male cap is what causes fights — not total headcount.

Compatible species

None listed — keep this species on its own or in a single-species group.
