Mundenhof Mob Manor: November 2008
http://mundenhof-mob.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Close encounters of the meerkat kind - Mundenhof Mob Manor. World`s first Meerkat Advent Wreath. Today is the first Advent Sunday. I will explain this for those of you unfamiliar with some of our European traditions. The 4 Sundays before Christmas - which is on the evening of December 24th in Germany "Heilig Abend" - we usually have an Advent Wreath (Adventskranz) with four candles. Each Sunday an additional candle will be lit. The crocheted meerkat on the picture is also from someone ( womajaka. The wea...

Mundenhof Mob Manor: R.I.P. Möfzi - Our sweet, old lady is dead
http://mundenhof-mob.blogspot.com/2012/02/rip-mofzi-our-sweet-old-lady-is-dead.html
Close encounters of the meerkat kind - Mundenhof Mob Manor. RIP Möfzi - Our sweet, old lady is dead. Today I visited the mob and had the opportunity of asking one of the keepers during feeding time, if Möfzi had died. The answer was positive :-(. I had been thinking about her often during this period of cold and snow. Möfzi was ancient, between 13 and 14 years. I hope she had an easy death without any suffering and simply fell asleep and did not wake up again. Que bonito post, me he paseado por tu bloc y...

Mundenhof Mob Manor: Good bad news - Möfzi is still alive :-)
http://mundenhof-mob.blogspot.com/2010/09/good-bad-news-mofzi-is-still-alive.html
Close encounters of the meerkat kind - Mundenhof Mob Manor. Good bad news - Möfzi is still alive :-). I just received an email from a meerkat friend of ours. She wrote that Möfzi is still alive, but had to be separated from the group. Currently she is in the inside enclosure and has to be fed separately, as the other members of the mob will snatch her food away. Our friend contacted one of the keepers and asked, if it is possible to visit her. I hope I can provide more news shortly. Follow me on Twitter.

Mundenhof Mob Manor: April 2009
http://mundenhof-mob.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Close encounters of the meerkat kind - Mundenhof Mob Manor. Meerkat Mischief in the sun. Yesterday we visited the kats in the late afternoon and stayed until they went below ground. The dandelions are in full bloom and it was the first time, the youngsters saw these flowers. All of the adults are very keen on getting and eating the dandelion blossoms and the first fresh leaves. Later in the year when the dandelion is getting more bitter, they don`t like them any more. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Mundenhof Mob Manor: Dandelion Season is back
http://mundenhof-mob.blogspot.com/2010/04/dandelion-season-is-back.html
Close encounters of the meerkat kind - Mundenhof Mob Manor. Dandelion Season is back. Yesterday in the late afternoon I visited the kats. There was not much going on, though. After a long and sunny day the kats were rather idle, mostly sunning themselves or sleeping. Sayuri and Flat Ears enjoying a warm spring day. The question of who will become the next dominant couple is still unanswered. Neither Sayuri nor Caruso seem to excite any interest in the males. Everybody looked healthy so far. Möfzi is a bi...

Mundenhof Mob Manor: February 2009
http://mundenhof-mob.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Close encounters of the meerkat kind - Mundenhof Mob Manor. After several windy, rainy and snowy days I was outside today to visit the kats and to take new pics of some bags in my shop and some new bags, too. The wind was rather nasty, but in sheltered places the sun was really warm. But anyway I was dressed well enough to go on a polar expedition and I could hardly move. The kats were sitting under their heat lamp, or sleeping or trying to beg treats from the occasional visitor. Right: Baby Godzilla Les...

Mundenhof Mob Manor: December 2008
http://mundenhof-mob.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Close encounters of the meerkat kind - Mundenhof Mob Manor. The last photos of Jolly Roger. Anarchy rules the mob. In these photos from November 29 Jolly Roger is still a healthy and satisfied meerkat. About one week later the "palace revolution", the cause of which is still unknown and will probably remain so, took place, and two weeks later Jolly Roger was dead. Possibly these problems go back to the fact that the males introduced to the group in Autumn 2002, of which Stubbytail is one, were not proper...

Close encounters of the meerkat kind - Mundenhof Mob Manor. Mundenhof kats at Smithsonians "Surprising Science". An article on the Smithsonian magazine website features the "Air Raid" video. This has been around since February but Doro just discovered it. They wrongly attribute the kats to Hannover instead of Freiburg though.

Mundenhof Mob Manor: A new springtime
http://mundenhof-mob.blogspot.com/2011/04/new-springtime.html
Close encounters of the meerkat kind - Mundenhof Mob Manor. Dear meerkat-fans out there, I am sorry for not posting here for such a long time, but these last two years found me very busy. Maybe I should give you a short update on the things that happened since the last post in September 2010. She is very weak, which is particularly due to not being able to chew properly. Once in a while they will keep her separate and feed her some additional stuff, she will also receive vitamin shots etc. As you...These...

Mundenhof Mob Manor: September 2008
http://mundenhof-mob.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Close encounters of the meerkat kind - Mundenhof Mob Manor. Getting close and personal Part I I - Jolly Roger, dominant male. Jolly Roger is a small and very cheeky meerkat. When Möfzi became "interesting" for the males, he and Plattohr (flat ear) were rivals. This would sometimes end in bloody wounds and a very badly chewed backside of Plattohr`s neck. Their feud is carried on until today. Plattohr was also chased away, when the pups were still very small and underground most of the time. Yesterday our ...
