meerkats!
well, as some of you know, we have a pair of meerkats staying with us at the moment, i'd like them to become permenant residents, but they were taken in a trade, so are technically not "allowed" to stay..
 they are an adult proven pair, not cuddleable tame, but getting lots and lots better as the months go by. the female is the bolder of the pair, she is first out to see what aunty nerys has brought for them to play with.. this time it was a bone.. but with lots of lovely gravey juice in the jug too.. "mmmm that smells good"  "is this for us??? can i have it purleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaseee.... pretty please....???"  "mmmm that IS good..."  jugged meerkat anyone? any further in and she'll get stuck!  MrMeerkat is more timid.. he lets Mrs come out and face the music before he risks it..    but he soon gets stuck in none the less

ta
 yus they are rather sweet aren't they, and really do have two distinct characters, i think if we have them for long enough, they will get to the stage i can go in with them a lot more..on the other hand. i have seen their teeth.. so.. we'll see! over the last few months they have become a lot more used to me bugging them - sorry, interacting with them! whilst i am not at the stage where i feel comfy to offer my bare hand to them to smell without the bars being in the way.. i can open the pen door and sit there, the female will come out and stand using my arm as a prop.. and whilst taking these pics the hardest part was she was more into examining the camera.. they chat away to me loads.. i chirrrrup. they chirrrrup back.. i look for eagles in the sky... they look with me! they are brave little things, even when somethings spooks them, and they dash back to the burrow chirruping like mad.. they are both out and back on alert within seconds! great fun to play with, especially eagle spotting.. "Eagle Eagle Eagle" you say as you gaze at the ceiling looking worried... "where! where? Where!" says Mr Meerkat..  "there! there? there!" says his missus..  lovely little characters i have to say, lots of fun to work with. N
