Each one of our cheetahs lives in a natural enclosure of
approximately 500 square metres. Due to observation purposes all
compounds are adjacent to the residential building and can be
entered through a central passageway. Additionally, our animals have
access to a large preserve of about 50.000 square metres, in which
they can hunt and play every day.
Their freedom of movement is the requirement for an optimal
metabolism - as well as their physical strength and general fitness.
Freshly slaughtered
goats are the basic food of our cheetahs. This alimentation most
closely resembles to their natural prey.
Furthermore,
our cheetahs get to eat their own prey - like wild rabbit and hare.
For the duration of
their growing and thereby to garantee a sufficient supply of
minerals, only our cups receive also chicks, of which the bones can
be eaten as well.
It is important to us
that our cheetahs receive the complete biological entity of the
animal bodies. That means all valuable components, like muscles,
bones but also the inner organs.
Additional supplements
of vitamines and minerals are thus not required.
All our cheetahs are
absolutely tame. They accept the leash like any dog, do obey a
whistle and like to go for a ride in a car. That is why they
tolerate any manipulation just like physical examination or medical
treatments without tranquilizers. Due to their complete trust in
human beings our cheetahs live absolutely free of anxiety or stress. |
