Biology and Management of Captive Australian Mammals includes a complete review of the biology of each group in the wild with the information being taken to increase the understanding and husbandry standard in captivity. It also has a complete review of other published information on the captive husbandry of Australian mammals and has been refereed by numerous zoo keepers, animal managers and biologists in order to check the information and maximize the information contained. This reference work provides practical guidance for keeping native mammals in captivity, with each chapter containing detailed information on the biology, housing, capture and restraint, transport, diet, behaviour, behavioural enrichment, breeding, and artificial rearing of each group of mammals.
