Our Animal Area

Here at the Japanese Koi Company, we try to be more than just a pet shop. With many years of experience, we really know our animals.


We have built a new and exciting area occupied with a few select animals from around the world. This blog will show the birth of the project and introduce you to a few of the animals we love. Through pictures , text, videos and who knows maybe even a webcam this blog will involve you in their day to day lives.

Genet or ganets!

Yummy!!
Feeding the Genets is always fun and whoever meets them is overwhelmed with how friendly they are. As soon as they hear the padlock on their cage go, they are out and waiting at the door. We feed our genets a range of food items their favourite are locust and thawed out mouse. They will take food very gently from your hand or straight out the bag if you're not quick enough!

They also eat chicks, rat, quail, mealworm and ferret biscuits. When you have finished feeding the genets, you will have both of them in your pockets and up your trouser legs looking for more. The male has a very lovable trick of jumping on your shoulders and spraying his scent on you, now although he is just doing it to prove you are his. It really does smell!
