Say hello to our new pet Coatimundi!! His name is Ralph

jokergerm · 10-23-2010, 06:40 PM

We just got another Coatimundi about a month ago. They are a south american racoon thingy. We had one for 3 years but he died one night all the sudden. They are supposed to live 15 years or more.

Ralph is the coolest pet i have ever had, he is super smart and playfull.

He was embarrased in this pic

THIS WAS WALDO out first coati
Poor guy, i was a total mess when he died, so was my wife, she bottle raised him from 5 weeks old

He is an exotic pet, and yes he like gummy worms for some reason

gun6slinger9 · 10-23-2010, 06:50 PM

Maybe they shouldnt be eating gummy worms and they will live longer? But cool pet!!

c0nstant · 10-23-2010, 07:59 PM

cute :3

Do they have claws for climbing?

What do they typically eat?

Can you litter train them?

jokergerm · 10-23-2010, 08:51 PM

This one is litter trained he goes next to the cat litter box in the bathroom, we are working on getting him to go in the box

When you buy them they are 1000.00 bucks and they come de clawed and defanged.

The eat catfood normally and pizza when he is lucky

TK-421 · 10-23-2010, 08:55 PM

you should let him try some sour gummi octopus. those are on a whole new level

bmwmthree · 10-23-2010, 08:57 PM

are they friendly or would you worry about kids playing with them?

Our first one was a bastard. We loved him but he was mean

The new one is awesome he loves everyone and does not bite

Tondtar · 10-23-2010, 09:54 PM

Does he bark when he sees a postman?

aapl · 10-23-2010, 10:27 PM

I saw those wild when I was in Argentina (Iguazu). People were pretty afraid of them there

That said, it looks like an adorable pet.

CollinsE90 · 10-23-2010, 11:38 PM

When full grown they get to about 20-25 lbs. They are like having a 2 year old around all the time. Super nosey and always wanting to play.

We got a kitten at the same time so they can play and grow together, and they get along great and love each other.

They just take the Baby fangs out, he will have adult fangs when he is about a year old. And i really dont see it as being cruel at all. he has a 100x better life than he would in the wild and does not know any different.

At one point dogs and cats were all wild , so dont give me that Wild animal crap.

CollinsE90 · 10-24-2010, 01:42 PM

My lion will be here next week, we're going to get some McDonald's as soon as I get him

he loves Chicken Nuggets

Labrada_Exoticz · 10-24-2010, 02:19 PM

Does he shed a lot of hair?

DimSum · 10-24-2010, 02:39 PM

I don't think you should be feeding him random foods... That's probably why the first one pass away so quick...

O-cha · 10-24-2010, 02:44 PM

Wow, that one gummy worm is probably 3 days worth of caloric intake for him.
