Kinkajous naturally live in the rain forest and are related to raccoons and Coatimundi. They are not related to monkeys. They have fully prehensile grasping tails, which can be used like an extra "hand" when climbing. The tail can be almost as long as the body and is also used for balance when moving from one tree limb to another.
Kinkajous are very mellow-mannered which makes them a delicate and cuddly pet. Kinkajous are by far the best large exotic I have ever dealt with. They have velvety soft fur and their palms have bare skin.
when it comes to care are there any specialty food to worry about. I have experience rehabbing and returning possums to the wild and know calcium is very important otherwise they develop MBD. I was wondering if there is anything I should worry about with kinkajou's diet wise. also what common medical problems do they get that I need to be on the look out for and should advise my vet on?
