Providing adequate housing is essential in making your pet lion feel at home in your back yard. With the proper knowledge and equipment, it is possible to build an environment that mimics the lion's natural habitat in the wild.
Instructions
Provide Adequate Housing for Your Pet Lions
1. Design adequate housing to prevent escape. This may mean you will have one fence and then a second "back up" fence surrounding the interior fencing. Because lions can climb, the roof must be designed to prevent escape, should your lion push up on the roofing.
2. Provide a water filtration system for your lion by allowing fresh water to enter freely into the habitat and then drain out another avenue of the housing. Your lion's drinking water should be clean, fresh and plentiful throughout its habitat. Many big cats like to swim and welcome a small pond or stream as well.
3. Build housing that adequately allows you to clean one area at a time, while your lion is separate from you in another. Also, if you have more than one lion, provide each one with its own space and communal property as well.
4. Use a one way door to supply food to your lion. Much like a small doggie door, build this door so you can push food through to your lion, without her having the ability to swipe you at dinner time. Unless you are feeding your lion a completely edible dinner, have a way to remove the feeding tray or bowl from the housing without putting yourself in danger.
5. Provide plenty of vegetation for your pet lion to explore and investigate. The natural habitat of the lion is full of large African plants. While you will not be able to exactly replicate African terrain, you can keep your lion stimulated with domesticated plants.
6. Allow for a peaceful environment for your pet lion. Many lions will spend most of their days napping (as much as 21 hours in a day). To facilitate a quiet napping area, provide housing for your lion away from noisy roads, parks or playgrounds.
