Our roof guests a.k.a The Common Golden Civet

Here are our civets. Mother top and bottom. Baby in the middle. They haven't been round the last couple of nights (since I spent the night watching them with a torch) but apparently they are quite sticky and hard to get rid of, so it's quite possible they'll be back!.. We also have news of the other baby which got caught the first night we became aware of them ... We had been told that it was in a cage at the neighbour's house across the road and that they were looking after it, bottle feeding it even. So, yesterday we knock on their door, ready to take pictures of their new baby pet civet. The lady answers and in broken English says, 'Oh, yes, that thing...I give it to my friends...they eat it.'... !! So, farewell the 1st baby civet! After looking up about these animals online and watching some youtube videos of tame ones (apparently they're quite friendly with humans and shouldn't be dangerous), I was beginning to warm to the idea of keeping our guests...and then to find out that one of the family got eaten and it was our fault for alerting the landlord in the first place..! The baby didn't even have much meat on it!! I guess here they're like pests, so it's just like eating a pigeon or a rabbit...which some people do..?!
