‘Ruby' – the Civet!

Here’s a snap of Ruby a rescued baby Civet Cat! She was found close to the farm but left for the night in case her mother was close-by but even in the afternoon of the following day Ruby was still alone and now crying as well! Poor girl! So she was rescued by village folks and where else better to take care of her than Thung Dong! She has only been with us for two days but is settling-in nicely.  A few years ago we had another rescued baby Civet Cat called Rik who was very tame and with us for a long time but as he grew older he started to eye the chickens and Guinea Fowl! So lucky for Rik he found a home in the breeding program at Chiang Mai Zoo! But we will have many happy months of taking care of Ruby and watching her grow before she is either returned to the wild or joins Rik in the safety up at the zoo!
