We would just like to announce we have managed to Import our own Meerkats to Pouakai Zoo. We already had Meerkats but as time went on we sadly lost them due to old age...when we had one left we knew it was time to do something about it. With no luck sourcing any from within New Zealand we had to look to South Africa and with the wonderful help of our supplier over there we are now pleased to have new buddies for our exsisting Meerkat. This was the first time we have ever imported and it was a huge learning curve for us. We now know what is required and will soon be importing more animals for Pouakai Zoo.
Great news, well done! How many did you import? And any clues about what you will be importing in the future?
Because it was our first time Importing (and we really didnt know how it would go) we only got 2 females, but we have already started the ball rolling with another 4...then Lemurs are next on the list...after that who knows!?!?!? I want reptiles and partner wants more primates hahahaha wonder who will get what they want hehehe
a bit of a follow-up to this thread, with this article from August: Meerkat At Pouakai Zoo | Stuff.co.nz
