Habitat Architecture

The Lynx rufus requires a highly enriched environment that simulates the scrublands and forest floors of North America. Proper stewardship involves:

• Enclosure Scale: A minimum of 400 sq. ft. per specimen, featuring vertical climbing structures and secluded denning areas.
• Environmental Enrichment: Implementation of varied terrain (rocks, logs, and water features) to stimulate natural hunting and territorial behaviors.
• Climate Control: While resilient, captive-born specimens require access to insulated, temperature-regulated shelters during extreme weather events.

Nutritional Protocol

A strictly carnivorous, high-protein diet is non-negotiable for the long-term health of the Lynx rufus. Elier Farms recommends a whole-prey model including:

• Vitamin-fortified raw meats (Poultry, Rabbit, Beef).
• Consistent calcium and taurine supplementation to support skeletal integrity and cardiac health.
• Scheduled fasting days to mimic natural metabolic cycles.

Veterinary Stewardship

All specimens dispatched from Elier Farms have undergone a rigorous health screening. Owners must maintain an annual wellness program including feline-specific vaccinations (FVRCP) and regular parasite prevention.
