What is a Coatimundi?
Coatis are animals that resemble raccoons and are widespread in North and Central America. Similar to its procyonid brother, the raccoon, coatis have powerful limbs that enable them to burrow and climb. They have extraordinary intelligence as well. They like to rest or sleep in lofty places and sleeping nests. All hours of the day and night are when coatis are active. However, ours has become adapted to our schedule and will even spend the entire night on our bed.
​
General Personality:
Coatis are lively and entertaining! They are gregarious and insatiably hungry for your attention. They make very loving and caring pets, provided they are given the right care and are acquired at the right age. Developing a bond with a new baby is very simple; but, bonding with an older adult who is not attached to you is far more challenging. Although every coati has its own unique personality and quirks, they are frequently very enjoyable pets. Most of their time is spent eating, sniffing, and exploring. Since they have more activities outside, they gain from being outside. When they’re outside, they should always be watched over or contained.
​
Do they bite?
To answer your question simply, anything that has teeth is capable of biting. Anything that is largely tamed, handled from an early age, and treated like a pet is not likely to bite. I think coatis is eighty percent bite-free. They will “play bite” a lot, particularly if you allow it when they are small. Although it usually doesn’t break the skin, some people may find it uncomfortable. They are not behaving antagonistically.

How much time does a Coati require?
To bond with your infant, you must spend as much time as possible with it during the first few weeks of its life. Give it food by hand, then play and unwind with it for some time. Give it as much time as it needs to get used to you and its new environment outside of the cage. After developing a relationship, a well-behaved coati could/should be allowed outdoors for many hours every day or evening.

Exercise:

Coatimundi as pets – REAL owners perspectives and stories:
Ashley Duncan Our coati, Severis, is a spoilt brat. He plays hard all day and sleeps all night. My spouse will even sleep on my bed when he is at work.

Caring for a Coati in Captivity

Coatis need a sizable outside cage and a lot of space. They require a large amount of room. A coati cage must be at least 6’x6’x6’x. Additionally, you should make sure that your latch is strong because coatis are quite intelligent animals and you don’t want to underestimate their capacity to escape by unlatching their cage door. A Coati can quickly cause chaos and eat almost anything it gets its hands on, thus it is not a good idea to leave one unsupervised in the house. Because they want to be up high, they will eat food, climb curtains and walls, and damage most paper goods.

Toys and enrichment:
Having toys will prevent your coati from getting bored and misbehaving. More sophisticated dog toys and toys for young children make great substitutes. Engaging in play with your coati can assist you in releasing some of your stored up energy. In addition to getting into mischief, a bored coati is more likely to bite and have other major issues. Coati can also swim and climb well, but in order to ensure their safety, they must always be watched while engaging in these activities.
