Not Dogs (but Meercats Are Close) And It's A Lovely Idea

What great idea.

Gone are the days of stuffy, white hospital rooms with nothing to look at.

I may go to the hospital and check out the Meercats instead of going to the Zoo, which is actually close enough to each other justa short tram ride from each other.

I hope they keep the cage clean.

being that it is in a Hospital, and that experienced Zoo staff are responsible , I would have no doubts !

I can tell you that it'll be kept to the same high standards we keep them in the zoo. The nursing staff, sponsors all love it and spend time just 'having a look' while we're there feeding and servicing the exhibit. It'll be a great distraction for the 600+ kids who'll go through outpatients daily.

This group is a non breeding group, it is also a very stable family group so outbreaks of violence or aggression will be very infrequent and when it does occur it is short live, lasting only a few seconds.

There is interest from other hospitals around the world. The aquarium at RCH is also awesome! We are in a unique position due to the zoo's proximity to the hospital means it's a short walk across the park.

Really fantastic to hear. And it's great that the zoo is so close, so if there are any veterinary hastles, you guys are right there You have both my thumbs up!
