Can you have a pet monkey nz?

Answer 1

Answer

Hamsters are called guinea pigs in Australia :-)

Correction: Hamsters are most certainly not called Guinea Pigs in Australia! A Guinea Pig is a Guinea Pig, and a Hamster is a Hamster, just like everywhere else.

There are Guinea Pigs in Australia, but unfortunately no Hamsters.

Not only that but hamsters are a prohibited import in Australia. They are a desert species (at least, the popular Golden Hamster is) and it would be a bit of a disaster if they got loose and infested the arid zones. The rabbits were bad enough - rampaging hordes of feral hamsters is not a pretty thought. The same goes for Jerbils.

Answer 2

well yes there are lots of hamsters in australia.

NOT TRUE! There are no Hamsters in Australia and you are not allowed to bring em in. They would be serious pest if they escaped into the wild.

Answer 3

The import of hamsters to both Australia and New Zealand is banned as clearly stated in regulations. This is because the climate is perfect for a hamster to survive in the wild. If a hamster were to escape (as often happens with hamsters) they would spread very quickly and become a pest damaging the native ecosystem.

Answer 4

Hamsters can be bought in Australia at most local pet stores. A variety of supplies like cages, food, and bedding can also be found there.

Answer 5

Yes you can have a pet monkey. But in most countries domesticating a wild animal needs authorization. So please find out from the wildlife authorities in your area.

Answer 6

yes you can.
