Meerkat Cohabitation

[GiratinaIsGod]

Would Meerkats mix with Rosy-Faced Lovebirds? They're found in the same habitat and I can't imagine they would be too difficult to obtain in the UK. Of course, I'm not sure this has been tried before, so it may be a bit of a risk. But I can't think of any obvious problems.

I have meerkats seen hunting sparrows

Cricket St Thomas had them together (I don’t know for how long!), whereas two other Zoos in my experience were unable to keep them together. One Meerkat group also refused to live with porcupines, although I believe that mix has worked at Paignton

Depends on the individuals I think - Africa Alive also have some yellow mongoose living seperately. I do enjoy many mongoose so more the merrier for me.
