Meet ALL FIVE of our crazy coatimundis!

Lola's siblings came to join us at the sanctuary! In the span of 4 weeks we have gone from one to five coatis! We introduced them all to the new enclosure, and we certainly have our hands full!

That enclosure looks great .

[@susanmartin3762]

Such a great enclosure guys! your video about these cute but NOT too cute critters was very important! In the beginning I thought you two had finally lost your collective minds. And then...I caught on and became very interested in your message. I hope the right people saw that Video.

You guys are doing a great job. I love watching you guys video. I love while animals keep up the great work.

[@coloraturaElise]

They are such intelligent animals and so fun to watch....into everything! So you are right to give them lots of things to climb on and play with, in addition to that large space. This will be really fun to continue to see in the future.....thanks, you guys!

[@lindsaysmythe9820]

you guys are so super amazing people- i absolutely love and adore you guys and what huge hearts you have for wildlife. You both literally put your hearts and souls into each animal that is lucky enough to come into your care and everybody is just living their best life. you are doing such amazing work and i look up to you so much!! Please keep doing what you are doing because you guys are one of the absolute best people in this rescue world. Steve Irwin would be so proud of the both of you!!

Beautiful! I’m glad the other Coati parents, who clearly cared very much for them, sent them here. They look like they’re adjusting very well, and I think that speaks volumes of the good homes they came from.

Chris is coated with a coati! They are a friendly bunch!

[@ivansosic1897]

That cage looks really nice. They look cute and scary at same time. 😂

[@Lonesome__Dove]

You could also use just little leftover scraps of the two by fours to just screw in the boards on tbe platforms where they try to climb but cant. Like a homemade ladder...Hopefully you can understand what i mean.

[@AccioPadfoot12]

I love that the new ones are sweet and trustworthy! Perhaps some day you can use them for education. Enjoyed the video!

[@RevanLegend]

Nice to see that only one of your silly cats is trying to kill you and the rest is actually super friendly

[@yfllll]

It’s so cool to see their enclosure evolve! And wow Lola’s siblings are all so cute and seem so sweet. I’m really happy for them and for you that you’re able to provide this for them. For the shelters, you may want to switch to a straw bedding. Hay holds in moisture so it gets moldy and doesn’t hold heat in as well. Straw will stay dry and insulates better. If it gets cooler there check out instructions for feral cat shelters. I feel they would work great for coaties!

[@FloridasWildest]

There apparently is a straw shortage in Florida and it has been unavailable for weeks, so we have been using costal hay!

[@yfllll]

@@FloridasWildestoh nooo! I had the same problem last year in NC. A couple of TNR groups were all trying to find straw and passing it around when we did find some.

[@joyglocker8318]

That looks great! Good job. Can it be that Lili is the boss of the group and is defensive towards you guys and that is the reason for her aggressive behavior? Is it doable to just throw their food into the enclosure, spread out, so they have to search and forage for it? Like it's their natural behavior? Maybe try it out with raisins or places of fruit....it also keeps them busy. Did you give thought to 'plant' different scents, like cinnamon or basil, on something in there? So they can keep themselves busy. Is the male spayed? Maybe an idea: take a log and drill a lot of different size holes in it. Put in some some treats sometimes and let them go for it....maybe a job for a volunteer....

[@justb4769]

The proper codification 😂

[@nicksavage4763]

In Costa Rica 🇨🇷 Saw More of them A GANG Around a Dumpster Than in the Rain Forest😹

[@Lonesome__Dove]

Oh wow! Hopefully the demeanor of the new coatis will help the more aggressive one calm down a bit. If she sees yall arent a threat. Hopefully huh. 😅

[@ScubaX29]

Wow it's like, if raised correctly a coati can be friendly and could be kept by a private owner? That they're not vicious animals want to attack you? Interesting

[@FloridasWildest]

Even if raised inside, some animals still become aggressive. It happens with raccoons a LOT. Even with bottle fed babies. They are individuals and they are not pets whatsoever! That is why a lot of people get cute animals as babies, and once they start getting aggressive they get rid of them. It is a cycle and education is the key here. We try to tell people why they should not purchase exotic and wild animals as pets with the intentions of them acting like a dog.

[@user-mu5ny1ks6t]

Glad the others are friendly. Hopefully being outside doesn’t bring back their aggression. Hopefully the friendly ones rub off on the aggressive one.

That enclosure is phenomenal! Question about the Coati’s. They all seem like they’re very well fed. I’m wondering if they’re a little overweight from where they lived previously related to inactivity (small enclosures) or if this is a normal size for them?

[@FloridasWildest]

I think maybe a teenie bit chunky, but it is winter!

​@@FloridasWildestwhat do they eat in the wild?

Hi, coatis as coworker not a good idea 😂 I see that the enclosure is not completely covered, is it voluntary to let the coatis enjoy a good soak ?
