ther best kept outside in what i call a pit basically a wall three foot high with a coping stone over haning the top about six inches i use three different size telegraph poles placed in the middle this iz ther lookout posts theres always the sentry guard on top watching for danger attached to the bottom of the pit i placed a six inch round plastic pipe this is burried underground and leads off to a heated nest box i used a reptile radiator the size of the box is 24/24/18 they have the choice to go out or stay in the box even in cold weather they come out to feed mine take chicks mealworms eggs chicken they are best kept in a group 2/1 if you do decide to keep them in the house be warned they do smell theres not many around at the min but i would expect in a couple of months you mite see some for sale 200/300 pound is the average price for them .ps they love garden snails the size of the pit is ten bye ten
i know nothing about their care, and i'm sure you plan to keep them properly, but i saw some meerkats in the rep shop in bournemouth that were in a smallish (for meerkats) viv under the desk.
they were displaying very disturbing repetitive behaviour.
make sure you give them plenty of space to enjoy them in their full glory!
good luck with it!
