Meerkat Madness

By Amelia McKinlay | Marketing Manager

Hello,

Welcome to DAKTARI’s meerkat newsletter!

Our meerkats are doing great and have had a big update to their diet! Rather than eating so much fruit they are getting a lot more insects and meat to keep them healthy and happy.

We had quite a few meerkats join the DAKTARI family in 2017. Unfortunately, people keep them as pets and then often give them away when they are fully grown and start to bite. Due to their lack of survival skills, many of the meerkats are then unable to survive in the wild so we try and give them the best life possible whilst in captivity!

Our new animal assitant Marina has got some great ideas for enrichment to keep the meerkats stimulated and active! 

A very big thank you from the meerkats and everyone at DAKTARI for your generosity and support!
