The period of the embryo is the most dangerous one when it comes to teratogens, or environmental agents that can damage the embryo. From the moment the embryo implants and connects itself with motherâs blood stream it becomes vulnerable to teratogens. The damage that certain teratogens cause depends on many factors.
Also, they get quite large so I can't recommened them. They are probably insanely hard to take care of and keep happy. Remember, they are wild animals from the amazon, not domesticated pets like dogs, cats, and rabbits. If you want a pet though, you could always adopt a dog, cat, rabbit, or any other pet from a shelter.
Set up a habitat with food, shelter, water and room to wander. Adult capybaras can reach 4 feet in length and weigh up to 200 pounds, so they need as much space as you can provide. An outdoor enclosure for one to three capybaras should be at least 12 feet by 20 feet, although the larger you make it, the better.
