    I work at a small petting farm & we have just accepted 2 young coati's and 2 young meerkats that were being kept as pets! They all get on fine at the moment. My manager wants to put them all in the same enclosure however I have reservations. Will they become aggressive to each other as they reach sexual maturity and how can we manage their diets if they're all sharing?
    Any advice very much appreciated.

    You will very soon end up with dead meerkats.
