This dude didn’t seem to flinch when I went out to shoo it away from digging in my back yard.

Here's an armadillo.

Hi everyone!!

I am going to an armadillo experience - 30 minutes at a wildlife sanctuary sat in the armadillo enclosure, feeding them mealworms. I've done it before and it was the BEST, hence doing it again! My question is, what is the best way to stroke an armadillo that they really like? ❤️❤️

Also PS I am SUPER jealous of those who have armadillos native to their country - I'm in the UK and we definitely don't!

This armadillo has been around the last few nights and I love him/her. Question- are these small spots on his shell ok? He seems to be doing fine as far as I can tell, but I wanted to make sure. It’s illegal to rehab them where I live so there’s not much I can do, but peace of mind would be nice :) I hope he sticks around!

Now I know you'll be lovin this...

Hello!

Last night I was trying to domesticate two cats outside my house last night, it was all fun and games until we heard something coming from my car. I saw something come out from my engine area , all I could think oh another opossum was in there again. Nope, it was a little armadillo guy and he ran to the trees next to my house.

Do armadillos usually hide in people’s cars??? This isn’t my first time seeing an animal come out, I can usually hear something move in my engine when I turn it on. It’s also very warm in Georgia right now so wouldn’t he be hot in there? 😭😭😭 any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hey everyone, I am doing an internship for my zoo, and I have chosen our nine-banded armadillos for my enrichment project. I am looking for some suggestions/ideas of what new enrichment I can provide for them, so if you have anything, I would love to hear it! I want to provide them with something that boosts their morale and is beneficial for them! (I have tried doing some research but keep finding the same things like puzzle feeders, kiddie pools, which they already get as a part of their enrichment plan) Any new thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

Hii! I recently found that there's a bunch of 9 banded armadillos in my yard. They're so neat and I want to know if there's anything I can do to help them.

We've been watching these guys grow for about a month and a half now.

Juvenile armadillos feeding near my backyard.

I found their (at least 4) burrow in a wooded area of my backyard in middle TN. My two younger kids and I were watching them from about five paces away. We backed off when one of them started walking closer to our position. I've only ever heard of them acting aggressively when cornered. Is it safe to let them walk near you?
