Do sloths make good pets

Answer 1

"no.

sloths most likely do not make good pets.

for one, their natural habitat may be disturbed, they are also very cute and cuddly. but most likely not the very best pet you can find...try a cat"

First off this guy has no idea what he is talking about. You don't answer a question with the phrase "most likely." If you don't know the answer then don't answer the question!

Secondly it's all a matter of opinion. I keep several exotic animals that people often times don't even realize are legal. In my opinion sloths are pretty good pets. I do not own one personally but two of my friends have some and I pet sit for them often. They are very cuddly and actually very active in captivity. People all ways think of them as slow and lazy but if you spend enough time with them they get very active and affectionate. They love to just hug you and hang on to you and they really enjoy games. My friends sloths really enjoy peek-a-boo and tickling. The down side is, just like any animal, they require certain space and food issues. Sloths eat mostly insects and leaves. It's never been an issue for either of my friends to provide these because they can eat almost any kind of leaf. Also they are supplemented with all natural food and sloth mix. So as long as you can provide them what they need they do make very fun and loving pets. Careful though their nails do get long and can scratch when they go in for the hug!

Thirdly I'm not a cat fan so I disagree with his last statement to.

Good Luck!

Answer 2

Sloths are wild animals, and therefore do not make good pets.
