My five-year-old daughter has just aquired a genet from her plastic bg of "Zoo Animals" for her 42 species zoo that is spread all over her room floor. We thought it a Margay, but then discovered otherwise. Thanks for posting this, she is thrilled to learn of your Loki. I think she is leaning on being a exotic animal vet :-P
"What the hell are you doing talking to a reporter?! i have set up MONUMENTAL, UNPRECEDENTED, UNBREAKABLE rules about my children and the press. I have gotten white house imported friends for the yelling! For approaching Zoey and Elizabeth… IT IS THE LAW!"
Gennets belong in the wild! Sorry to say but i also raised them from babies (my husbands's a vet) and when you give them half a chance they integrate back into the wild regardless if they were "domesticated" We integrated a few all with fantastic results.
wow i love genets but ive never has the money to get one after i get my new music equipment ima save up and get one probably and where did u get it and how much was yours, loki is pretty
@BeNnN674321 if they should be in the wild then all dogs cats birds and other domesticated animals should, we domesticated them and they were wild and look how good they turn out if it wasnt for us keeping ferrets as pets they probably wouldnt be on earth right now and i bet u have pets to
Also, how well do you think a smaller genet would get along with a larger ferret? Rolo is prolly around the 3-4lb mark at 6 months and still growing. He gets along with our cats really well.
genet vs fennec fox.. who wins the battle of awesomeness? genets seem more mellow.... therefor easier to deal with? but the civet glands.. that kinda sucks...
What a cutie! How old is he/she? My little girl is almost 14 years old - and grumpy! But I love her like I did when she was a kit - got her at 5 weeks old - nothing like a gent in the house to keep things interesting!
It's nice to see respinsible exotic pet owners such as yourself. I get tired of people saying that animals is cute and then gets just on that basis. You seem to have a good relationship with your Genet. I heard they require lots of love and care. I have seen one first hand and they bought her because she was cool. However they don't spend enough time with her and they complain of the miss the Genet makes. I would advise anyone to make sure they have plenty of time to socialize and bond with them
They are the closest living relitives of cats, and they are the link between the weasle family and the cat family. They have a big prey drive so keep away from smaller animals like small dogs and cats. They will bite you at some point and it will be a hard bite that draws blood! They are nocturnal (some species are active during the day) and will keep you awake at night and wil destroy a house if not supervised. Overall they make good pets if you have ALOT of time and patience!
@necroknightmare do you even know how to take care of them? thats stupid to buy an animal and not know a thing about it. i recommend researching them first.
Loki "Let me bite you I need some flavor, Hey--Ow! I bit myself.... Oooo...I is tasty!!! Even my foot!!!! Eyes got flavor!Yes yes indeed!! I feel them youtubers are watching me. I better stop...."
yeah i already checked and they are legal where i live and yes the breeder is critter house she has good prices and she said she might be have two litters around may 8th and thats also my birth day so it would be cool if they were born on my birth day :)
Make sure that they are legal in your city too. Was the breeder Critter House? Cause we were thinking of going there. If not; who did you find cause we can't find another one.
lol, no I don't have any other videos of him. I just happened to have my laptop (with built-in cam) in front of me when he was being all cuddly that night. I need to get more, though. :)
Dood I've been looking online to purchase one of these... are you located in the U.S.? What sort of pet stores do I need to go to? I'm in the market for a Genet =\
Each state in the US has its own laws regarding exotic animals. You would have to do research for your individual state. I have two greyhounds, a dachshund, and a cat. They all get along pretty well. I got him when he was just a baby, so he grew up knowing the cat and greyhounds. He and the cat play, he and the greyhounds ignore each other, and he doesn't care much for my doxie who likes to chase him. :)
adorable! Je ne savais pas que les genettes pouvaient vivre en captivité! Elle est née chez vous?
