lol, they are quick. I've had a couple go rounds with armadillos trying to catch them...they freaking hop like crazy armored ninjas...and hop fast as crap to...one time we finally caught up with one and it frantically tried to bury into the ground and another time I looked up after we chased one into a culvert and was getting yelled at by a game warden "leave that poor animal alone" it was classic. You can buy certain types of armadillo's online I don't remember if its 3 banded or 9 banded but one of those is fairly available. I think it would be a rad pet. Best of luck Peanut
