THE FOSSA KEEPER’S HANDBOOK: A complete guide to ownership, care, behavior, handling, expert tips, and habitat set ups - Softcover
Synopsis
Fossas are Madagascar’s top predator, built for a life that happens in three dimensions. They may look catlike at first glance, but they belong to their own unique lineage. Agile, powerful, and elusive, fossas are shaped by the forests of Madagascar and require careful, welfare-centered management in human care.
THE FOSSA KEEPER’S HANDBOOK is a practical guide for readers who want a realistic understanding of fossa care in licensed, professional settings such as accredited zoos, sanctuaries, and conservation programs. It prioritizes animal welfare, environmental stability, and responsible decision-making.
Inside you will learn:
- Natural history and behavior, including why fossas are built for climbing, leaping, and stealth
- Housing and enclosure setup with vertical complexity, secure barriers, hides, substrates, and enrichment
- Feeding and nutrition planning, including whole-prey thinking, portion control, and enrichment feeding
- Handling and interaction guidelines focused on safety, low stress, and professional protocols
- Health and common problems, with prevention habits and early warning signs
- Breeding basics (optional) for qualified programs, including pairing, pregnancy support, and pup care
- Fun facts and misconceptions that replace myths with accurate understanding
- Legal and ethical considerations, including permits, compliance, and conservation responsibility
- Long-term care strategies to maintain consistent standards over time
Note: Laws vary by location. This book is educational and does not replace professional veterinary or legal guidance. Always follow applicable regulations and work with qualified experts when caring for protected wildlife.
