This facility in Chicago has recently come to my attention as the only holders of Javan ferret badgers in the US, as well as a holder of tailless tenrec, small toothed palm civet, and common cusimanse. Does anyone have any other information on what this facility holds? Here's their website.

He's a private place and really doesn't need everyone from zc harassing him about seeing his animals if you're not willing to pay. The palm civet passed away. Cusimanse are at several other places and aren't hard to find among exotic breeders.

The palm civet passed away.

Was that the only one of its kind in NA? Quite disappointing if so .

Just to be clear, I'm not endorsing the behavior mentioned, I just am curious about this facility because it's come up a lot on ZC recently.

I understand, and my post wasn't necessarily directed at you, I should have specified that, sorry!

What discussion?

What discussion?

Did the owner speak about zc members potentially harassing him or are you speaking on his behalf?

I am speaking on their behalf, based on previous behavior of zc members (and potentially non-member readers) over the years.
