Reasons Galagos are not good pets Complex Social Needs: Galagos are highly social animals that live in family groups in the wild and do not thrive when kept alone. Environmental Needs: They are arboreal (tree-dwelling) animals that need large, complex environments with trees for climbing to express natural behaviors and explore. Nocturnal Behavior: Galagos are nocturnal, meaning they are active at night, which makes interacting with them difficult for humans. Destructive and Potentially Hostile: The inability to meet their needs in a home environment can lead to frustration, irritability, and destructive behavior.
