Thanks for the contact

ohhh.... good good... holiday time I go hahha...

How much I wish I have holiday sigh......

One of the reasons they don't have really educated ppl taking care of the animals is because of the measly pay...My friend just applied for a job there and they are paying rm550 a month for zoo keepers. Doesn't sound very enticing does it? Mostly because they lack funding since its under the Malaysian Zoological Society. They rely on funding from institutions such as Maybank etc....

It is easier to critisize than to actually lift a finger to help make things better. I believe we are all guilty in this issue some time or another..

whooaaa.. fellows.. dont argue la...

dont think the civet will be sent to zoo... today my dad going to buy the milk in vetenary.

I'll try post the pic later... together with the picture of a jealous maltese.

Well, maybe you can ask a vet to help you out. Guide you in taking care of the baby civets...

This thread is supporting an illegal activity...
what has become of this world

five years ago i released a juvenile civet i caught in my house in Bukit Gasing. there was a family of civets living in my rooftop, and this one happened to be found wandering around my porch at night, so i took a cat carrier and enticed it in with a banana. but it kept hissing and getting too stressed up i took it off to Bukit Gasing the next day. Now the family is still up there in my rooftop beams making noises at night, like birds twittering .

civet cats are getting increasingly used to human presence, but they do not allow themselves to be seen that easily.

Discussing about the civet is allowed and any discussion about how to keep it will be dealt with.

If discussion about keeping it is forbidden, i don't see the purpose of just discussing only about civet in this thread. This is Pets Wonderland, not Animal Planet. I don't think the civet is qualified as a pet, unless the threadstarter is going to keep it while seeking knowledge from this sub-forum. So this thread should be moved to Kopitiam maybe for further discussion instead? Just my two cents.

Well, the thread starter came here with a problem. Yes, keeping a civet cat as a pet is illegal but then he is coming here for advise. We all are pet people here, we have compassion for animals. If it was moved to Koptiam, I can bet it would become a spam thread.... where everyone would just put unhelpful stuff like eat it or something....

Thread starter did say

"My father recently picked up 2 of these babies. Cause too small to throw back into wild. He's thinking of take care of them until grow bigger."

So it could mean his father would like to let them go back into the wild... of course that is uncertain since now the civet cats would probably be used to human interaction already.

Well, civet cat is not a pet but discussion on how to care for it in the time being is allowed for now since thread starter found the civet cats and not went out to find them.

Anyway, will keep this thread open for another day or 2, if nothing helpful comes up, we will close the thread.

I thought nairud mentioned that it's not allow to discuss how to keep it?

How to deal with it for now... but not discuss bout keeping it in the long term ... coz we can't keep it as a pet. Already people here have said hand it over to the zoo or wild animal santuary... well, see how... can discuss but the civet cat and how to deal with it(temporary caring) but not keep it long term.

wow... that makes perfect sense!
how did the 2 babies come by anyway? I'm sure they didnt fall off the great heavens and happen to land in front of the TS' father. did something happen to the babies mother?
What's their conditions anyway?

Thank you for understanding what i meant

hey thanks mod! i think the case will be dealt with soon... my father constructing a shelter of them soon on the forest opposite the house. And we do understand that they are WILD animals. And not planning to keep them in the house forever.

Temparary caring them until both learned to eat fruits. Only one will eat. another wont eat even when putted in their mouth.

Emm.. parents found them in a middle of golf course... maybe someone caught them earlier and then changed their mind.

And here are the pictures

Just that? nothing for them to climb? you gotta make them learn how to hunt.

but i would suggest you to call zoo negara and ask them for assistances. they know more than your parents.

the way they're running in the house... seems they're more grown than we expect. i can safely say they'll climb in no time. There's plenty of fruits trees around the house.

we'll provide fruits for them at their shelter for the meantime

heading to the vet today... thanks you the advise.. if any problem we'll call the animal dept.

take and make curry la...i feel that the people in this forum got no other job already....i used to be one of them....i thought i knew alot but looks like i need to learn alot more...some people here are so full of bullshit....i've offended alot of people here...one of them tag...but i feel some people are so full of bullshit cause they feel that they are superior to other...GO F**K a tree...
