I love capybaras. Can you talk about how the laws in your different states impact your ability to care for them? Also, do people surrender them or were these guys captured for being invasive in American ecosystems?

That's great to know about Indiana! I assumed you had capybaras in the rescues you mentioned taking over in the post but it makes sense that you guys are based in one location.

I know of only two states that allow them simply as pets (Pennsylvania and Texas I believe) so it's super interesting to me that other states fall somewhere between "nope" and "okay with permit/fee."

And yeah from my understanding they're invasive in certain parts of FL and ironically CA (but every time I've seen this in an article, I wonder where in CA would a capybara be happy??).

You guys rock, wishing you all the best!
