Kinkajou @ Ack's Exotic Pets Shop (Part I)

i thought they cant have citrus stuff?... i have a pair!!! they r awesome!!!

Listen, I know kinkajous are not suppose to have oranges but I was out of bananas one night and I gave her a peeled orange until the morning. I've had her two years and only given her two oranges in that time. About a week after the latest orange, she has become very temperamental and trembles a little bit; in her back legs especially. She knows who I am and that I'm not going to hurt her but she still flinches and barks at first approach. It seems as though she shakes less and is much more act

Kinkajous are in the Procyonidae family which consists of raccoons, coatis, kinkajous, ringtail cats, cacomistles, and olingos. Some believe pandas and red pandas are related as well.

I went to Ack's a few months ago after being away from NY for years (I was searching for the other exotics shop on the same street, but it was gone). I walked into the place and the first thing I saw were their coatimundi, which I had to loudly proclaim "COATIS!!" I'm considering going back up there next springtime to pick up a prairie dog pup, since I can't find pouched rats anywhere anymore (now that they're legal again)

kinks don't make good pets.. they are great when young but can get nasty temper tantrums when older.. i have 2 rescues and one that i bottle raised..

What is a kinkajou classed as? Because I know its not a monkey, but is it a primate or a rodent or marsupial?

[TimmyGal]

It's a relative of raccoons.

[itsmel1za]

they're not supposed to be domesticated pets... they're wild animals who belong in the canopies. and then people complain and freak out when they bite or run awayple

[galgodeoro]

they are bad pets

[exadexec]

veryy very cute..... but please check out Critter Camp Mom. Kinkajous do not make good pets. They live for 25-30 years and can go violent on their owners, even if they've been well cared for and loved their entire lives. I love them too but I trust the advice of my friend who owns and animal resucue more than my own emotions. Not judging anyone here, ok? Love to all
