Looking for Advice on Armadillo Care

I’m curious if anyone here has experience with armadillos. My university’s mini zoo has one, and I’m seeking suggestions for enrichment activities or toys to keep it engaged. Any ideas?

That’s so cool! Armadillos are fascinating creatures. I’ve read that they love to dig, so you might want to create a digging area with soft soil or sand. They could really enjoy that!

Absolutely! Adding tunnels or burrows in their enclosure can also give them a sense of security and something to explore. They love to hide, so a few cardboard boxes could work wonders.

I’ve heard that armadillos like to play with balls—especially if you fill them with treats. Just make sure it’s a size they can’t swallow! A small rubber ball might keep them entertained for a while.
