Edinburgh Royal Hospital for Children and Young People has submitted plans to build a meerkat enclosure next to the children's hospital in Little France. The proposed 'Edinburgh Royal Children’s Hospital Meerkats Experience' would see the introduction of meerkats at the Royal Hospital for Children and
Young People (RHCYP).
The enclosure would feature a themed landscaped outdoor area with protected glazed screens for easy viewing into the enclosure, along with a keeper’s facility that includes preparation and quarantine zones. While children and other guests won't be able to touch the meerkats, these animals can be trained to interact with them through the clear balustrades and viewing windows or from a distance via a specially designed viewing hide and simple, interactive tools like feeding tubes.
The applicant said: "This is a central element in a broader discovery and learning program designed specifically for children and young people who visit the hospital. This program aims to engage young visitors in educational and interactive experiences that foster curiosity and joy during their time at the hospital. Additionally, it will create a chance for families to bond outside the hospital environment, allowing them to connect with nature and enjoy the recognised health and wellness advantages of animal-assisted therapies."
