[@lll7560]

Twomad

[@angelalejzerowicz9670]

How adorable 🥰

[@LisaApril]

Dried fruit it’s not good because it promotes tooth decay. Rico is absolutely beautiful! His little hands are charming. He has a sweet sweet face, a darling nose and the most beautiful quills that look like lovely hair Swept back off His face.

[@vintagelady1]

Maybe you missed it when they said his teeth grow continuously, so they would wear down like a rabbit's teeth. I expect there wouldn't be time for any decay. Also, I expect the zookeepers know what they're doing. I love his hands, too!

[@Myrnaocala57]

Rico is adorable!
