How samantha036 Did It - How to Buy a Coatimundi Pet

Hello everyone! I would love to share my experience buying and owning a coati (or two!). My family and I own an exotic animal permit where we have a farm in Ravenna, Michigan. Three in a half years ago we decided to purchase two unrelated babies (a male and a female). We got them at about three weeks old and...

bottle raised them. Now they are very tame, even with other people! We let them breed and they gave us a litter of four beautiful healthy babies that we are now looking for good homes for. If you have researched coatis and know that you can legally own one, ours are available every year in the spring or summer for good homes. Please visit our website at:
