Rearing

Since our adult cheetahs are absolutely tame, it is easy for us, to accustom the cubs to humans. The mother accepts human contact with the cubs anytime, reacts friendly at every approach, and thereby conveys this relationship of personal trust directely to the cubs.

Thus the animals grow up in an arrangement of “double imprinting”. From the beginning they accept humans as “co-cheetahs”, and at the same time do not loose specific behavior patterns just like hand reared cubs in solitude. This is the only way we are able to build a successful breeding stock, based on a harmonious interaction of humans and animals.

Few hours after giving birth: exhausted but happy!

Handing over

Our cubs are only handed over to individuals or institutions that can establish proof of proper keeping conditions, which satisfy our standards.

In order to be absolutely sure that only healthy and strong cheetahs leave our custody all of our cubs remain with us until the minimum age of several months.

By then all of them will have been vaccinated, are parasitologicly examined, chipped and acquired the necessary CITES-documents. Of course interested persons are mostly welcome after prior consultation.
