JaXX
Snickers(VJXM010) was born on October 31, 2008 in the JaXX Mob. His mother was Diana and his father was Vince. His litter-mates were Rolo(VJXM012), Twix(VJXM009), Boost(VJXM013) and Kit-Kat(VJXF011). At the age of five months Boost disappeared along with Vince and Spike. Snicker's older brother Kori became the dominant male. Snickers and his litter-mates survived to their first birthday. Snickers started to help out around the mob by babysitting and taking a sentry post. He soon started to rove with the other males in the JaXX. Snickers remained in the JaXX till mid 2011.
Toyota
In July 2011, Snickers, Twix, Rococo and Ole joined the Toyota Mob. Rococo became the dominant male despite the fact he was not the oldest of the males. Rococo wasn't able to hold on to his status as the dominant male and soon lost his grip. The males started competing again and this time Snickers came out on top. Snickers became the dominant male and gained the right to mate with Hoodwink. However Hoodwink soon died and her younger sister Chimp rose to power. She soon became pregnant and Snicker may have been the father. Chimp gave birth to Firefly, Thorne, VTYM044 and Keysar in Jaaury 2012. With the new litter of pups things were finally looking good for the Toyota but sadly one of the pups VTYM044 died. In March, Chimp and another female named Peanut died of TB. The last adult female Squeaker did not seem interested in dominance leaving the Toyota to be led by only a dominant male. Snickers was fitted with a radio collar being the only dominant meerkat in the Toyota. In June 2012 Snickers died from TB along with his brothers Twix and Ole and Toyota male Nabby, leaving Rococo as the dominant male again.
