HomeVision ROCKS! I love it, and if you do get a problem Craig is
excellent in helping sort the problem, not to mention the list members.

Best load of money I gave to Li in a long while!

Meerkats tamed! that is an oxymoron aint it?................

I have a female that was rescued from its mum who was busy eating her
young, like you do, so she was raised by us on a special diet we
produced over many years and this made her tame, she is fantastic fun
the way she follows you every where, mostly under your feet if you are
not careful, and play fights with you and my dog, then sits upright on
your nee watching TV!

I have another female that will bite you if given the chance and a male
variety that is getting tamer by the minute, had him sitting on my
shoulder a while back barking at a hang glider that I could not see for
ages!

You have to be very careful when they are behind wire and you put your
hand near, they have long claws for digging and can very quickly pull
your fingers into biting range, very very fast! but once you are in
their cage with them they calm down a bit providing you do not move too
quickly as they run for cover distressed to reappear within a couple of
seconds! amazing.

The biggest no no is do not go near them when they are feeding, I have
not been caught by this yet but they get very hostile to anything that
gets near them...............but give them a smartie and watch then
spend the next 10 minutes killing it!!!

Love them,

B.

Hi all,

I have the following in the Meerkat cage/shed:-

Light in the shed
Light in the cage
Light in the nest box
Heater in the nest box
Heat lamp in the cage

With the above I can switch all of them on and off.

I have now bought 4 x LD11's and 1 x AD10 to control the above @ =A335
each,
have ordered an enclosure for the DIN modules =A370,
Just bought and used all a 100m reel of 1mm T&E and almost another full=
reel, not sure of cost,
Spent god knows how many hours routing the cables through the various
roof's my house has from my loft to the cage/shed.
Add the cost of HomeVision to control all the above and the end cost is
rather high.

Now with all the above installed  I can, err,
"switch all of them on and off.".............sounds familiar!

This has got to be one of the most stupid and expensive activities I can think off, even football makes more sense, and do you know what the
funny thing is?

I love it.......

B "very much tongue in cheek"
