I would doubt it, but then nothing is impossible.

Remember if you like bats though, DO NOT under any circumstances get bitten! They carry Rabies (yes even in the UK) and it will and does kill

My friend has two meerkats, Mikey and Ky, she's had them quite some years now.
Ky is about 10-11 and Mikey about 8yrs old I thnk.
John and I look after them when she goes on holiday. We won't be able to do that this year as the iguana has that room now.
She offered one of them to me full time when Mikey was younger but I advised her to have him neutered instead. That settled him down and they stopped scrapping.
They are real little characters but not the best of pets.
There will be a youngster going for sale up here shortly when it's owners get sick of it, as they will, they have had one before and got rid of it when it grew up a bit.
