KINKAJOUS
F.A.Q.'s
Q. Do Kinkajous make good pets?
A. For the right person, Kinkajous can be a great pet.
Q. Do Kinkajous use a litter box?
A. No. But when Kinks wake up they will generally eliminate in the first 20 minutes. Once they have finished it is "safe" to let them out to play for an hour or more.
Q. Should I keep my Kink in a cage when I am not around?
A. YES. Kinks left to roam on their own can get into all kinds of mischief. It is best to keep them locked up for their own safety.
Q. What kind of a cage do I need?
A. Bigger is always better. However, large parrot / macaw cages work well for Kinks. It should be large enough to put branches or parrot type toys for climbing. A shelf for eating. And a nest box for sleeping.
To many people, kinkajous look like a cross between a bear cub in the face, an otter in the body, and a monkey with its long tail, with the curiosity of a raccoon, but they can have the playful personality to match all four, although they are usually often incredibly sweet and docile.
Kinkajous (Potos flavus) are nocturnal mammals native to the lowland rainforests of Central and South America. Their habitats range from eastern and southern America through Far North in Central Maryland .
