Bushbabies sleep in the day and hunt in the night in trees. The bushbaby's nocturnal because its food is out at night. Baby bushbabies grab on to the mother's fur when she is jumping through the air and is leaving the tree. Young male bushbabies stay with their mother until they are fully grown while females still hang with the group. Thick-tailed bushbabies are omnivores and eat insects, tree sap and fruits.
Bushbabies are both the prey and the predator.
They are the prey to snakes and owls, but are predators to insects. Bushbabies hide in their homes if they think danger is near. Bushbabies can live in the wild up to fourteen years. When a female is ready to give birth, she will go hide and take care of her young for three days so the males will not hurt them. The thing that is unusual about this creature is that it stays up in the trees all the time.
