  • were did u buy it in thee uk?

  • You said how you were allowed to have a pet meerkat in the UK? How much do they cost and where can I get one? are they good pets? Roughly how much do they cost to look after? Should I get one or two to start with and are they easy to train? Thank you! your meerkat is adorable!!! >.<

  • dont they feel lonely...I mean.. they like to be in a large group...and do they dig every day? lol

  • I WANT ONE SO BAD............the only thing that puts me off is he will always be trying to sell me car insurance.........

  • @Rick96B

    don't worry, just train it not to, it's simplez! lol

  • a group isnt enough im afraid , they need to be in groups of 5+ At minimum 10-12 is prefrable.

  • how much did it cost?

  • Meerkats MUST be kept in groups of two at the very least. It is very cruel otherwise.

  • Ahhh!!!! Cute!!!!

  • HES PHAT!

  • @anintelligentamerica People in america own monkeys, tigers and other animals that people say aren't meant to be there and you have a go at a person who by the looks of it takes loads of care of their animal. Tigers aren't meant to be pets, they're cute but do people tell them off for it? So think before you speak cause dogs, cats and horses etc were also once wild animals that had to be domesticated.

  • Lucky... 8] in the US we have to get a biology liscense to own a pet meerkat(which I will be getting :)) but your meerkat looks very healthy and happy which shows you are taking good care of your meerkat XD

  • WHERE THE HELL DID U FIND A MEERKAT!!!???!!?

  • @NikkiAndHaleyShow Africa XD

  • Cruel. Meerkats are social animals. They live in packs.

  • @coliecolie110 also did the original dogs but now look at them, they a mans best friend

  • I live in the UK too and I thought we had stricter laws on keeping exotics...

  • How cute!!!!! I wish we could have em in the US

  • I wish we could have them in the us

  • can you own meerkats?

  • not sure where you live, but , yes in the uk it is legal to have a meerkat as a pet.

  • @MrMeerkatdotcom what town in the u.k. do you live in?

  • @MrMeerkatdotcom Poor country. This is a poor pet as it is at home in the wild wild khalahari at africa!

  • @MrMeerkatdotcom mas não acha melhor pra ele viver na natureza... tadinho dele viver como pet

  • @flavia5967 se você diz que cerca de um animal, ele deve ser o mesmo para todos os animais.

    é apenas um animal pouco ortodoxa ao próprio justamente no momento. mas as pessoas estão percebendo que é um grande animal de estimação ter.

  • @MrMeerkatdotcom how much was it if u dont mind me asking?

  • @MrMeerkatdotcom im gonna move to th uk

  • @SoldierBingFilms yeah you can i guess depends on the country really but i wouldnt advice it they need to be with other meerkats and in a normal house they can destroy ur home i suggest if ur lochal zoo has any meerkats offer to sponser one for a year thats what i do

  • where di you get him!

  • they are so cute. I always wanted one as a companion, but I dont know if they are legal in the US. I also dont know where to get one if they were legal in the US.

  • Meerkats bite for all sorts of reasons and sometimes just for fun. They have long and very sharp canines that easily puncture the skin. Bites tend to go in deep and they easily become infected. They heal slowly and can be very painful.

    No human can give a single meerkat the constant care and attention it craves - many literally go insane, most probably from anxiety over lack of social contact. Others self-harm. One meerkat we knew of was so upset that it literally chewed its own paws off.

  • its alexandeer:) simples:)

  • you only have one?? Meerkat's live in packs of at least 5. and if anything you should at least have another one to company it.

  • They're not easy to keep for me

  • Respond to this video... i have a pet meerkat too. hes very happy

  • where u get it??? I want one i'm in the us

  • awee bless, my friend has 2 baby ones, reering them :) theyr so mischevious haha.

  • @anintelligentamerica Dude fuck off dont you have better things to complain about then a dude with a pet? You should be jailed for being such a weak pussy.

  • @TheEpicTroller dude, i fucking love your name

  • @redsamuraidragon Haha thanks dude

  • I've read that meerkats stink, how is it compared to a ferret, do you know? And I admire your standing firm against people who have not had friendly comments. :) As long as they are healthy and have another meerkat to keep them company I'm sure they're alright.

  • i believe the animal belongs in its own natural habitat, but yes they are happy and look well loved and treated, its wot is in the best interests for the animal and they are well looked after :) u r lucky to have such a cute pet :) wot do you feed them ? x

  • @MrMeerkatdotcom is it possible to adopt a pet meerkat in australia.? my family and i have been looking everywhere but e cant find anywhere. if you can tell us a true fact that would be appreciated if you find a link to a website could you tell us please? thank you :)

  • is a meerkat good to keep as a pet

  • What is peoples problem with exotic and wild pets, If it is their pet, then it was domesticated by them and is a pet. stop scrutinizing people for it, It's legal.

  • lol how cute

  • hey if you took them to chester zoo im presume you live some where in the north west? ..... i live in wigan and would love to own a meerkat or 2. Are they hard to look after? how much did they cost and where did you buy them from?

  • @anintelligentamerica

    you say that like your saying cats and dogs were always domesticated but they were and are wild animals

  • I'm not expert so i cant tell this good or wrong... But cats and dogs was a wild animals... So if u taking good care of it or them (idk how many u have) thats fine with me. A they are cute ( Meerkat i mean)

  • That is soooooooooooooo mean! They need to live in mobs of at least 7 and you've only got two. They also have claws for digging in the sand, it would REALLY hurt itself if it tried to dig on the hard ground. I love meerkats but I would never ever get them as pets its just not fair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Look at all dumbs on this website posting " It is not a happy , Meerkat are wild animal! " . They are iggnorance! It look happy to me , and cute ! Wish to have one here Brasília ! Congrat on cute happy pet !

  • savethemeerkatdotcom sign the pledge to end the meerkat pet trade

  • Ah so cute! But does he bite?

  • Meerkats are so cute

  • A very lonely Meerkat, not socialising with a 'mob' as other Meerkats do; still, as long as it keeps it's owners amused, I guess thats all they care about....

  • @anintelligentamerica we do have domesticated pet meerkats in this country. also we dont just have the one, we have another one called bindi. they are both very very happy in there enviroment, you would need to be in there company to understand how they make great pets. thank you for your post.

  • @MrMeerkatdotcom

    what country do you live in

  • we live in the uk

  • @MrMeerkatdotcom Dude just ignore them. While I do believe some animals should be in their natural habitat, I also believe that if they are happy in a domesticated setting (like your home) then it's A-Ok.

  • poor meerkat, completely out of its natural environment and not part of a mob; hang your head in shame. at the very least you should find an animal sanctuary or zoo that has a mob of meerkats and hope that they can integrate it with the others

  • Like i keep saying these are not wild animals. think of them as like your cat or dog. they have been domesticated and live very happy lives. they have been to chester zoo and the head keeper is happy how they are. thanks for the comment.

  • Comment removed

  • @applemac555 when i looked at that meerkat he seemed very happy and besides why should he be at the zoo when he has a loving family right where he lives?

  • @applemac555 Noob.

  • it's mean to keep that poor thing as a pet...

  • Love it when they stand up, it shows their advanced intelligence that they can stand on their hind legs

  • STFU saying its fat....... Meerkats don't get fat..... they aren't american..... JUST KIDDING!

    Seriously though, Meerkats can get fat. Depends on the gender.

  • no offense but ur meerkat is fat....

  • awesome his head turns 180 degrees.

  • poor meerkat.

  • Do you have problems with them trying to dig through floors or furniture while they are in the house? I thought I heard or read somewhere that they're instinct to do that would result in alot of scratched up furniture and walls and floors and such.

  • huh, i didnt know that meerkats were territorial enough to be just let outside like that, i would always be afraid the little guy would try and run away to expand his empire :D

  • sorry.. but a wild animal buying is abnormal its not ok... but its now to late , you cant now leave it in wild but animal give it much love.

  • @NothingFilmworks stop yapping

  • it's cruel.

  • My friend's run an animal sanctuary and have a very tame meerkat who they had to hand rear because the 2 semi wild meerkats they rescued from a pet shop kept trying to kill him. The female is now pregnant with her 3rd litter and the last ones all died. She is now on valium (really!) they do not breed well in captiviy because they are not meant to live in captiviyl. the trustees will tell anyone who comes to their open days Meerkats are NOT pets!

  • Ps I know I spelled captivity wrong lol! but seriously it's good that you got 2 of them but the reality is that their is a lot of cruely involved in the pet trade. I can see the attraction, Vinnie is very cute and provides hours of entertainment but the cost of this is very high. He can never, ever be with his own kind and that is really sad!

  • did you buy or adopt him? and how were you able to?

  • we bought him, £550. they are available in the uk from exotic pet shops, we also have a female too which we bought privately.

  • i think any animal can really be a pet as long as you have what it takes to love and care for it. and just saying this one is SOOO CUTE ... anyway i would love to keep one but have toooo many animals LOL mine are all.. guinea pigs hamsters cats and stuff but i would really one one of theese little guys and again ..... SOOO CUTE! i love when they stand like that ;]

  • FINALLY SOMEONE WHO GETS IT!!! ^^

  • im not trying to start an argument here, but you may be able to keep meerkats properly, but the majority of people who keep them cant, they are not easy to keep, and have special needs, needs most people cant take care of. So if you think about meerkats as pets in its entirety, its just not a good idea, they are better off left in the wild.

  • You dont know what your talking about, sometimes wild animals get abandoned.

  • Comment removed

  • mrmeerkatdotcom is a complete dumbass, they are very sociable animals and will be miserable unless they are around other meerkats, they suffer from severe anxiety otherwise and even self-harm.

  • ha ha, just the other day i had to take the razor blades of the little fella.... tut... you just never know..

    hey ! i can vouch for the fact they are very sociable animals. look qwerty go and annoy your neighbours who might have bunnies or ferrets locked up in cages they are the ones who suffer from anxiety. i believe everyone is free to have there oppinion but please refrain from name calling..... just childish. thanks for the comment..

  • Poor animal, it MUST be miserable.

  • what makes you say that ? these animals are very very sociable they love to play and can make a toy of just about anything. surely if the animal was not happy it would just run away ? you got to see them for yourself to see how happy they are. these are not zoo animals confined to a small space. these go for mile n half walks with our dog !

  • look, im not gona argue with you, just go to this page, w w w . m e e r k a t p e t s . c o m (without the spaces)

  • crikes !! you sound one bad tempered person WOW. maybe good job you dont have one as a pet and hopefuly no-other animals too. i tried to look at the page you suggested. because although we know quite alot about the little fellas and seen them in there own natural habitat , you can never learn enough about the animal you look after. would be greatful if you could check the web address and reply thankyou .

  • meerkats are wild animals not pets. Its good u got 2 and not just one, they are v sociable and need there own kind around. I wanted a meerkat at one stage, but thats changed ever since i had a long talk to one of the scientists at the Kalahari meerkat project.

  • they WERE wild animals but for a while now they have been bred in captivity. they are now domesticated animals. its not like these animals have been pulled out of the desert and stuck in a home. do you have the same oppinion about cats dogs, rabbits horses or any other animal that we have as our pets. i am willing to bet you have an animal of your own. whats the difference ? all animals originally were wild... thanks for your post.

  • most domesticated animals were pulled from the wild to be working animals, not just for our enjoyment. Anyway, we get around 3-4 people come to London Zoo each month saying they can no longer look after there meerkats, and most of them are in bad shape. Its just so many people that keep them have no knowledge of how to look after them, it is quiet sad sometimes. But there is people out there that do know how to look after them, and from what ive seen yours are in good care. Good luck with them:)

  • Cute!

  • how comes it dosent run away outside on your driveway?

  • Meerkats are very very sociable animals they feel the need to always be with you so wont stray too far.

  • We have two meerkats one male one female. they are both very clean and no not as bad as ferrets(we had one ages ago) but the answer could also be due to how they are kept, during the day our two meerkats have full run of the house at night they have a downstairs bedroom to themselves..... yes a whole bedroom. they are very clever and use a litter tray, and not had to be taught they found it and used it. as i said before we did have a ferret and it was in a hutch so that is what made it smell.

  • They are in the same family as a ferret right? Do they stink as bad as a ferret?

  • no need to be jealous, you can own one too. no special licence required. just go in exotic pet shop n buy one. great little pet. we have two and both have full run of the house. self litter trained. brill little pets.

  • u have a pet meerkat i am jealous
