Hello guys! Sloths are adorable, but they have unique needs. Make sure their diet includes plenty of leafy greens and fruits, and provide branches or ropes for climbing and hanging. Don't forget to keep their enclosure warm and humid, just like their natural habitat!

Hi Littlemermaid! First question, how to own a sloth as a pet? 😅 I assume it's quite a challenge to take care of it. I mean, sloths are arboreal mammals that are constantly climbing tall trees. You probably need a massive space for them to take care. Sorry if I can't really answer your question, as I too, don't have a pet sloth! Hahaha!

mostly when it comes to their diet, sloths are herbivores and primarily feed on leaves, so it's essential to offer them a variety of fresh, leafy greens. They are known for their slow metabolism and low energy levels, so they don't require much in terms of physical activity so you cant do walking and just like playing fetch with them like dogs tho, but as far as I know, regular health check-ups with a veterinarian who has experience with exotic animals are still essential to ensure they remain healthy. But be patient, coz sloths have unique behavior and needs, with proper care and attention, a pet sloth can bring plenty of joy and fascination into your life! <3
