Ferrets smell bad.

Go to south africa and hunt and trap one down. Smuggle it home and you have your own Meerkat.

Like a dog?

Ferrets smell bad.

You can get ones that have had their scent glands removed. Friend has one. I can't imagine it smells any worse than a meerkat would.

I already have like 30 stuffed meerkats. :eek:

So would that qualify as bulk?

If they came in an alternator shaped box I'm quite sure they could be called bulk.

Bulk Meerkats wouldn't fit in an alternator box, certainly not 30, which everyone knows is not bulk when talking about Meerkats. I wonder if you can buy bulk meerkats online somewhere?
