Thnaks for the picture.But could you turn the camera back on. Your meerkats are the best ones in the states. Very active with a wonderful habitat. Watching them is a joy.

It's nice to see that the meercam is again showing a picture although I think there might still be a problem because this same picture has been on the screen all day.

Thanks for posting what they eat very interesting and diverse menu.

I'd like to know how many meerkats do you guys have there, and is there any chance of pups in the zoo's future?

I hope that the one laying on the rock is OK because he or she has been there since the camera came back on. She hasn't moved either.

Sorry Meerkat Lover but all the male meerkats are fixed so no babies. They are all siblings and their family line is being represented else where in another zoo, so these are just for display :) Thank you Jenn but all is well with them, its the Camera that needs a vet.:)

There was a blackout at the turkey point power plant, maybe that had something to do with the cam being down??? Ron is a great PR guy, but there are so many other people involved as well.

Hi Ron, I'm wondering why the zoo would not want to have more meerkat pups? Is that a rule of some sort? I always thought zoo's swaped animals to aviod inbreeding.
Yup, he cam needs a cam vet. lol

Hi Jeanne, Ron is out of town, the animals are only bred if there is a need or a place for the offspring. So this group is just for display, this bloodline is being bred at another zoo. So to avoid overrepresentation of a bloodline, we look at the captive population and make sure we have the right balance to ensure long-term diversity.
