If the zoo is such a bad place... then there shouldn't be a zoo.... as far as I know, the zoo here lacks a lot of support. They are providing the best they can with the knowledge they have.

I still believe certain wild animals, the zoo should handle... well, I have sent a wild bird to the KL Bird Park before after I nursed it back to health.... sometimes certain animals need the pros in this.

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

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

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.

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.
