Common Genet

My experiences with the care of my first small-spotted genet, and general information for people interested in acquiring or learning about their maintenance in captivity.

Genets are long, slender carnivorous animals. They are found throughout Africa and in some parts of Europe. There are many species of genets, and the two major species among them are the small-spotted and the large-spotted genets.

Common genet is a mammal that belongs to the civet family. There are almost 30 subspecies of common genets that can be found in Africa, Europe and Middle East. Common genet inhabits forests, rocky hillsides, marshes, scrublands and agricultural lands. These animals are threatened by habitat loss and hunt because of their fur and body parts that are used in folk medicine. Despite these factors, common genets are not endangered. They are still widespread and numerous in the wild.

Classified as carnivorous, the genet is omnivorous and will eat whatever is most available.
