Wild meerkats are so wild that it is difficult for them to recognize their masters, but artificially bred meerkats, whose wildness has been greatly reduced, can be recognized as their masters. The meerkat you have raised since childhood is very close to you, and it is not very difficult to recognize its owner. As long as you develop a relationship with it and let it remember your smell and voice, it can recognize its owner in a short time.

How to train a meerkat to recognize its owner

1. Feed a meerkat at a fixed time every day to make it familiar with you. Wild meerkats generally feed on insects, but artificially bred meerkats basically feed on cat food, barley worms, and occasionally fruits, vegetables, and chicken breasts. During the feeding process, pet it with your hands and let it remember you.

2. Accompany the meerkat more in daily life. When you are free, you can play with it to enhance the relationship between each other.

3. Don’t scare the meerkat when it is young, but be patient and test it bit by bit. If it shows resistance, don't force it to pet or pick it up. Let it get familiar with the environment and you can pet it after it starts to relax.
