How do you bait an armadillo?
Earthworms are one of the most common types of armadillo bait, since wild armadillos often snack on these invertebrates. These creatures are easy to collect. They can often be dug up, or they can be purchased at most bait shops. Meal worms can also be used as armadillo bait.
What do armadillos do during the day?
Armadillos are not social creatures and spend most of their time sleeping. They usually sleep up to 16 hours each day in burrows, according to National Geographic. During the morning and evenings, they forage for food. Usually, the only time armadillos get together is to mate or to keep warm.
Why do armadillos curl up?
The armadillo lizard curls in a ball as a way of protecting itself. If caught by a predator or a human, it will curl up, grip its tail in its jaws and form a tight, armored ball in the manner of an armadillo. In this position, the soft underparts are protected and the lizard is too spiky for many predators to eat.
