They are such active, curious animals it would be cruel.
Aside from all of that, I am sure Son of Bluey does alright on his own with the ladies, without my help. Removing him from the wild would stop his lineage (from a Darwinian sense), no matter how many offspring he produced in captivity, anyway.

No worries. I couldn't tell if he was an adult or a juvie. Scale is a hard thing to judge by a picture and as I'm not the most familiar with the species I went with my gut since he looked pretty small.
