Best UK Common Palm Civet enclosure

[felis silvestris]

This is just a bit of fun to judge the general consensus on the best enclosure for Common Palm Civets in the UK. I have added a few photos from the gallery to make it easier for members to compare the different exhibits. If anyone wants to make an argument for a particular enclosure, please feel free to do so. Also, I would encourage people to list the enclosures in order of what they think is best.

If there are any outdated photos, collections that no longer hold them or people have photos for exhibits not in the gallery or with poor photos please let me know.

If you want to vote for Bridlington, Exotic Pet Refuge, Capel Manor, Matlock, Ark WP, Telford, Tropiquaria or Wingham please vote for the “Other” option in the poll.

I've attached a photo below of the Palm Civet enclosure at Mablethorpe from 2017; I don't know if the same enclosure is still used for the species, can anybody confirm? Note that its not the whole enclosure visible here, but it does give some impression of how it looks.

Also - Matlock? What collection is this? I found a Matlock Farm Park online, but not much mention of any exotics on their website. I'm intrigued!

Matlock probably isn’t updated frequently on ZTL so they might not have them now but they are listed.

Matlock Farm Park didn't have a palm civet when I last visited (though they did the time before) - the enclosure held skunks.

Not that it matters really as it certainly wouldn't be troubling your poll..! It's a basic enclosure to say the least.
