Hi guys, Any help would be gratefully received. Research is sending us in circles. We are just designing our meerkat enclosure but we are struggling with what to use as the base; If we use concrete we are worried about drainage! If we use mesh, will it last? What is the best substrate? We...

This enclosure is part of the Kalahari exhibit, opened in 2011. The meerkats previously had acces to a bigger enclosure, shared with lions and yellow mongooses. After a lion killed a mongoose, this co-housing stopped. The mongooses now inhabit another enclosure, not in the Kalahari exhibit.

Based on their behaviour, do think they would make decent pets? For the record, I'm not planning on buying a meerkat. I'm writing a specialist project on meerkat behaviour and whether or not they'd make good pets. I think I have my answer, but I'd prefer to hear from more well informed...

Thought I'd include details of this place since it doesn't seem to be on the list... they have a small collection of reptiles, domestics, meerkats and otters on display. I visited a few days ago, along with an elderly relative who can't be exposed to the present very cold conditions. It...

I am currently studying a degree in Animal studies and I am designing an enclosure for Slender-Tailed Meerkats Suricata suricatta . Does anyone have a copy of the husbandry guidelines for Slender-Tailed Meerkats Suricata suricatta that I could use for reference in my assignment? Many thanks
