Title says all.   Animal: Glyptodon sp. Difficulty: 4/5, males can be aggressive during breeding season Diet:Hay, lettuce, and herbivore pellets. Apples and sweet potatoes can be used as a supplement. Exhibit Needs: Glyptodons should be housed in small family herds, of around 3-5 animals. There should only be a single male, due to territorial issues. Glyptodons need grass in their exhibits to graze on, as well as a sandy substrate to rest on. Long grasses are okay, as long as the Glyptodons can ingest it safely. Shrubs and other plants are not preferred, since a careless Glyptodon can step on and trample them down. They need a shallow pool for drinking and cooling off in the heat. Tall logs or tall rocks can be erected, since these animals would love to use them as a scratching post. Logs should be secured with concrete underground, just so that they don't trample it down. Rocks can be used as decoration, but be sure that they aren't sharp to a point that they can injure their sensitive feet. They need an indoor barn for shade, and each animal should have their own stall. Stalls should be lined with straw or dirt bedding for comfort for a resting Glyptodon. Stalls should be big enough so that the animal can completely turn itself around; otherwise, it's too small. Outside, the best shade you can get is a nearby tree of some sort; if not secured properly, they can drag and trample the tree with their own strength. If a shade is added, be sure to secure the shade with concrete (not shown in picture, nor is a tree) Fencing: Heavy-duty elephant fences, and hot wire if you don't want to add elephant fence. Animal Compatibility: Glyptodons are peaceful enough to be kept with other animals, including ground sloths and horses, as well as certain herbivorous dinosaurs, though they never lived both at the same time. If an animal is small, watch for any getting stepped on by mistake. Exhibit size: Small-to-medium exhibits, though make it large if you are doing a mixed species exhibit. Final notes: Glyptodons are fairly easy to keep, but if not careful, fatalities can occur, due to their sheer weight and size, especially in testosterone-driven males. Make sure you secure trees with concrete underground. And finally, don't place any plants besides non-poisonous long grass. |

This is useful! Even if i don't use it for glyptodons the ideas for the exhibit are great! |

I like this. A LOT. May I suggest one for a small/medium Sauropod, perhaps Amargasaurus? |
