Rico's girlfriend Ricotta is doing amazing at the rescue. She and Rico are best buds and play all day long.
They each have different personalities. Ricotta loves to run on her wheel and play with toys. Rico doesn't run on the wheel at all and he's more laid back.
We have gotten 3 requests to take in coatis in the past 6 months and its clear it's going to be an ongoing issue as long as pet stores sell these extremely hard to care for and unpredictable exotic animals.
If you are a zoo or a reputable sanctuary, please message us if you'd be interested in working with us in placing a coatimundi. We cannot refer coati surrenders to private adopters at this time for liability and legal reasons.
