https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePEzual0GyM I know they're endangered and shouldn't become pets, but I like to wonder what would happen if they tried to domesticate them along the lines of the Siberian grey fox experiments.

It'd be like owning a large ferret w/ special dietary needs, some alternative to fresh bamboo would be needed. Also I think they'd probably need a large outdoor enclosure to keep them safe when unattended. Dunno if they'd ever be trainable like dogs.

In the encolsure you can just chill and do whatever and totally relax. "Take it easy" is the red panda motto, for example, that's how laid back it is there. Show up if you want to have a good time. Another good reason to show up is if you want to hang out with pandas.

Also I think they'd probably need a large outdoor enclosure to keep them safe when unattended. Dunno if they'd ever be trainable like dogs. The fox domestication project showed that it can only take tens of generations to get to a decent level of domestication, not necessarily hundreds. Right now they would absolutely destroy a house as an indoor pet, and they're excellent climbers who can easily escape anything like a normal backyard. Zoos don't train or breed for pet qualities, but 20 generations of domestication should end up with something that would fall somewhere within the dog range of trainability and intelligence. They're not straight up carnivores/predators like most of our major pets. Opportunistic omnivores more like racoons, except the easiest to find food in their natural habit is the low quality, high quantity bamboo. A soft pelleted diet with fresh fruit supplements would probably work fine if they were common enough to be pets.

Yeah from what I've seen of zoos feeding them, they seem to do quite well without bamboo at all, since they're easily able to handle insects, small animals, all sorts of fruit and vegetables etc.

As far as exotic mammals go, that actually doesn't sound that bad. It sounds like they'd be roughly on the level of a wallaby or coatimundi - responsibility well above most domestic animals, but quite feasible for a serious animal lover. Now that I think about it, I'm kind of surprised there's never been any serious push go get red pandas into the pet trade. I mean, we were fully aware of their existence back when mail-order monkeys and alligators were being sold out of comic books.

And I don't think they were ever really common in the way that anyone in florida can go loot a gator nest. If they didn't live way up on some mountains in the middle of nowhere, they probably would have been pushed more as pets.

The biggest hurdle is probably just the birth rate. If they had litters of six cubs twice a year it'd be a different story.

Birthrate, and that you'd need something like 20% of all the red pandas on the planet. Basically it's the best super villain plan. Build a compound high up in the mountains, then somehow take control of the world's red panda supply to turn your compound into most powerful stockpile of  on the planet.
