Subject: caracal Wed Nov 09, 2011 5:59 pm

i just won the auction. it includes 7 play vision animals: caracal, grizzly bear, polar bear, snow leopard, cheetah, bobcat, and a bat-eared fox. i do not have them yet, but when i do i will post pictures. I am having a hard time talking my mom into letting me have a real live caracal as a pet, so this replica will have to do.[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Susanne, caracals make pretty good pets, I have kept them and I used to breed them for sale. They act like big house cats and except that they have to be supervised (they can't just run around the house when no one is home) they are friendly and reasonably safe. Servals make a better pet in my opinion (I also have these) not only are they more social and interact more then caracals but they are beautiful animals.

Both species are very easy to care for, especially if you raise it from a baby that has just been weaned. They are not like house cats exactly but will use a litter box, become very affectionate with the family and become very loyal and tame. They are shy around strangers, mine seems to vanish as soon as anyone they don't know comes over. They are also both smaller then a medium sized dog so caging is not too difficult, I have 12x40x10 foot pens that are fully "decorated" with log and wood structures so they have something to play on when they are in the pens and a room dedicated to them for inside when no one is home. If you keep them outside the pens have to be fully covered, with a sleeping room for relief from the weather (both hot days and cold if they want to be protected) and they can jump really high so it has to be made specifically to prevent escape.

You have to be careful about playing rough with them because they can easily hurt you by accident and I would not trust one around a baby or young children, not because I think it will go after the baby but because it is just a good idea to keep something like that away so no accidents happen.

Phil, your knowledge about tame-wild animals never stops amazing me Very Happy

Thankyou for pouring from all your knowledge again sunny

And it never stops amazing me how you can have wild animals as pets in USA, - if somebody without a special licence had a caracal or serval as a pet here in Denmark, they would be get a huge fine and the kitty would be confiscated affraid

Congratulations Lance, and great to have you back again bounce
