Baby Genet and Kittens Wrestling 

You can't have them as pets lol! It's not legal

@@derfvcderfvc8714It’s legal in many European countries, same goes for binturongs and civets.

The genet that I raised remained very shy and didn't like being handled much. Let him go since I live near some forest. Hardly any smell at all but those claws were as sharp as surgical blades. All in all my experience was that a gennet was not a good house pet, since it remains wild despite lots of handling.

@@riverbankfisher Ive heard that if you adopt a genet, that you have to keep them away from other pets at first so that they only attach to you, since they can only attach to one, and that it should preferably be its owner and not another animal. And that there is no such thing as "Rehoming " a genet, because when they lose their 1 attachment, they frequently revert back to becoming completely feral. That's quite sad. But I think that I would still like to own one. Even though theyre shy. They still seem friendly and sweet (with their owners) and are good with cats. Thanks for your reply.

@@bevs9995 Is it even legal? Watch some videos of genets out in the wild and you'll quickly understand they don't belong in a cage... that would be mental and physical torture for the animal. They cover vast ground at night foraging of their own free will. They mate, have kits/pups/young, teach them to be genets... Please don't think you should take all this away from one.

Hello Tony, While there are quire a few RU-vid videos of people raising gennets in the USA, I am not sure what the laws in New York are, regarding gennets has house pets. Even if the laws permit keeping gennets, they tend to revert back to being jumpy, timid and wild, if they are not handled enough. This gennet in my video is doing well among the litter of kittens so far, but I notice he stays hidden most of the day. Finally got him eating shredded chicken today, to help wean him off the mother cat who fed him from the start when he came in as one of two orphans.
