Platypus are wild, not domesticated. They are protected native Australian animals, so they may not be kept as pets. In addition, they have very specialised needs which cannot be met if they are kept as pets. Even zoos and sanctuaries with special licences to keep platypuses under the correct conditions have had minimal success in breeding platypuses in captivity, as they are very sensitive to changes in their environment.
