Default Meerkats - Does anyone own?

Hi I'm looking to see if anyone owns Meerkats. If so can you give me information on housing, diet and general welfare.

Thanks for the link. If you get some are you going to keep them outdoors in a large 'pit'?

I have heard of people keeping/rearing them like dogs giving them the run of the house whilst there is someone at home.

He just lives in the house and uses a litter tray like a cat.

I have heard they can be distructive. Does yours live in a cage or does he get free run of the house.

Also have you had him since a youngster?

Wouldn't say he was distructive, he doesn't chew on things he just digs you've to watch plant pots and things like that but other than that there isn't anything really he can damage. He doesn't have a cage but does have a bed so he has somewhere of his own.
