Charlie Roche - 2011-12-15 You can have three. They should all get along just fine. Sometimes any companion (including children) will have a sqabble over something but I would imagine they would always be near each other, play together and generally be much company.
jj - 2012-10-12 Why would you want to own one? its cruel , they're wild they shouldn't be kept as pets . its wrong , and people who do it are cruel :) !
Tera Edwards - 2013-01-12 If you think its cruel, then why are you on this page about servals as pets in the first place...
Clarice Brough - 2012-11-21 Gads, I'm not sure but here's what I've found. Serval cats especially need extra calcium for at least the first 2 years of their lives, and basically supplement them just as you would a growing puppy. A great source is a chicken leg quarter (with the bone) and this is said to be pretty well balanced in calcium and the most well absorbed form. Also adding a calcium powder to their food, like OsteoForm calcium powder works well, as does cottage cheese... an excellent source of calcium, phosphorus, protein and vitamins. Good luck!
nicole - 2009-11-07 A serval is not going to eat a baby! Their game is usually small rodents like mice. A serval is an exotic cat but don't think of it as a tiger or lion! Do your research on them before you post... and I suppose you are against dogs too because there are cases where they have attacked babies.

sue - 2012-06-29 I own 2 servals and they are the most compassionate animal I have ever owned.They are not able nor would eat a child or baby.Maybe bite one if unattended but a domestic cat or dog will also.These cats are very much like a domestic cat they do have some traits such as the sounds of a wild cat but thats about it.My grandchild plays with both of these cats and has never been hurt by either.
Kali - 2012-06-26 I love these cats there awesome! =)

Charlie Roche - 2012-06-26 Hi Kali, I don't believe it is an age thing in any of the states. However, some states do require that you have a permit or Fish and Game License to own one. You can call Fish and Game for the state you live in and ask them if a permit/license is required and if so what you have to do and requirements you have to meet to obtain one. Have fun
Charlie Roche - 2012-04-05 Easy way to get started is just look up on the Internet Serval Cat breeders - Serval Cats for sale. There is a magazine on CATS called Cat Fancy and they have a list of breeders in the back in the classifieds. You can start by calling breeders in your area - most breeders know where you can purchase a particular breed of cat and that way you have a recommendeation. Cat shows.
chris - 2012-06-24 I don't even think they should take 'Servals' out from the wild! It's just mean!
Kali - 2012-06-26 Yeah but it would be cool to have one.
chris - 2012-06-26 Yeah.

COOL-CAT - 2012-02-05 Hi Guys I've got a African Servel and his name is -Mr. Pudd- (cute name, HUH!) He is not quite but nearly pure. He is also approx. 5/6yo and I love him too bits!
Dave - 2011-12-04 I would like a pet Serval and am willing to commit the time and effort needing to maintain one. However, I have a Blue and Gold Macaw that spends alot of time outside its cage with me. Would I still be able to spend time with the parrot out of its cage if I get a Serval? Thanks!

Charlie Roche - 2011-12-05 Servals are gorgeous and can make a wonderful pet. Unfortunately, in the wild and per instinct, much of their diet is birds. I just don't think that you would be able to insure the safety of your B/G. I wanted one also - real much but I have birds and knew.
Kristine M Smith - 2011-11-07 Get my new book SERVAL SON: Spots and Stripes Forever for an insiders look at what it's like to own--and maybe owned by-- a serval cat for more than 17 years. Look before you leap so you'll be ready to give it your all for him or her.
The African Serval is a medium sized cat species, with a long body and very big ears!

Do you know the % of calcium need a serval ?

Keeping a wild animal as a pet is wrong an cruel!
What you will read about above is domestically bred African Servals that are raised as pets.
