I wouldn't risk combining cassowaries with anything. They're fiercely territorial and aggressive. If they can kill people with their toe claws, imagine what they could do to a tiny marspuial. |

Cassowaries have killed other birds like ibises and waterfowls (despite them being able to fly), so I wouldn't risk a mammal with it, no matter how many chances of escape you give it. |

If you must, I think combining Dingiso with Goodfellows OR Matschie's could be done (even though they don't occur together in the wild), from a hybridization perspective anyway, since Dingiso are quite aberrant tree kangaroos. However, AFAIK Goodfellows, especially in groups, can become unfriendly and might bully the more timid Dingiso. I would recommend keeping them alone, or maybe with pademelons or other forest wallabies, unless you have a very large exhibit. |

Thanks for the help, I think I'll just create 3 exhibits for them with free flight birds |

Would like a Pademelon or Wallaby species of sorts be able to live with lemurs, ducks, turtles, conures, songbirds, gamebird, iguanas, mousedeer and flying foxes? Here in Singapore all those species save for the marsupials are kept together in one large tropical house, but since our climate is tropical and we keep wallabies and kangaroos too I thought of keeping one of the two in this house I intend to build, especially pademelons as if I remember correctly they are a forest dwelling species. Would they be stressed out by the other animals I have in mind or vice versa? |

The pademelons would probably get pestered or stressed by the lemurs, so that wouldn't work. You should be fine with any smaller wallaby species though. Just be careful with the mouse deer and their stress levels. |

^ That's racist towards my kind. Instead of lemurs I would suggest another kind of tree dwelling mammal for that exhibit. Squirrel monkeys might look good and even out the Asian/ South American feel to it |

As you said, Fragile forests in singapore does that exact combination, and even had a pair of Tree-kangaroos in it... the combination would be more than fine. |

I do not see why not. However, anoas are not from the same habitat or region as the other two.

Anoas are known to be particularly agressive animals and would most likely injure or kill at least the Muntjacs. I wouldn't take the risk. |

Muntjacs and pandas shouldn't be kept in the same enclosure as well. Atn Nuremberg Zoo two Pandas were killed by the male muntjac living in the same enclosure! |

I've heard a report on an anoa actually killing a muskox a long time ago (Don't ask why they were together) but I'm not sure if it's the truth or if it's bogus

I'm sorry, a Lowland Anoa killed a Musk Ox? That is total baloney. |
