People arent trying to be horrible, they are just concerned about the meerkat. I havent seen your threads asking for advice, but I do know meerkats need company of their own kind.
Goodluck in finding another one for yours.

posted by stubeanz:
do you have a picture of the enclosure ? no
when are you planning to get another meerkat? male/female? asap
i hope you know there can be problems with meerkats being introduced to each other if it is not done correctly so you could end up with a dead meerkat on your hands. how would you introduce them? im going to ask a friend who has done this to see how i should do it.
also i hope this doesnt offend you but how old are you? None of your business!lol

Nice attitude you got there Saff..People are questioning everything you do because you are blatantly ignoring advice.

Shouldn't you have gotten two in the first place though? You were advised to, both on ehre & another forum.

Wel, personally I still think you shouldn't have bought the one..But there's not much I can do is there? I hope you find a friend for it soon, for the meerkats sake. Good luck.

Goodluck, try PMing Rory or Nerys on here, they may have some available or could source some for you.

'But its hard to find', 'taming nicely' and 'im going to ask a friend' all loads of rubbish.

If somethings worth doing its worth doing well and thats definitely the case with animals. Quit moaning about it being hard to find meerkats, its not. Search in google, ask Rory, check specialist forums and im sure you'll find some pretty damn soon. Seriously 30 minutes work and you'll have plenty of sources to ring.

'Taming nicely', its not a domestic pet! Its a wild animal, seriously what the hell are your motives for owning it? They seem so fundamentally wrong, like you want a furry companion.

Then you have the audacity to say your ask a friend who's kept them when you've ignored exotic experts on here with years upon years of experience. Your listening to what you want to hear rather than the truth.

I've gotta agree I'm afraid, at the start of this thread you were told about not keeping one on it's own, that was before you even got it, yet you still went ahead. You then went onto another forum asking exactly the same questions, probably looking for some form of reassurance.
