Hey,

i have just come across a lady who is selling a breeding group of 1.3 Paradoera picta, and i am very tempted to buy them, as they are from madagsacar, and i dont think i will have an oppertunity like this for a while. however, id like some advise as to how to house them? any good caresheets? and pictures would be greatly appreciated!

regards,
*the moof*

I don't think P.picta is a rarity, even in switzerland. Yes, shippment from mada. are not permit now, but this is a specie which is very common as CB, and I think you should prefer CB animals than WC.

I was going to say, that just doesn't seem logical. Considering they are members of the EU there shouldn't be any issues with transporting them between member countries or from Germany. Easily stated, permits are not that hard to get if they are necessary.

its only in german at the moment, im not sure if they intend to translate it or not?

well, even if they are easy to get, id still lvoe to grab a colony which has bred before, which i know is productive, whihc i know are captive bred, and while i ahve the oppertunity. also, they are not particularaly expensive at all :D

If they are captive bred, it will never become difficult.. You cannot obtain WC, because there is no more shippment from mada to Eu, and maybe to switzerland too, but you will always be able to obtain CB animals.

Hope they will provide you a lot of fun, this is a great specie to keep.
