They got 2 from a local reptile zoo as 3 week old babies, the guy in the pic took them home with him to hand bottle feed them every few hours. They let them run around the shop today while we were in there getting some frozen mice and they started to try and eat the mice and when they took the mice away, they got into a bag of chinese food they had for their lunch.
Rice everywhere:)

Very cool critters and they get into EVERYTHING/

They are the Japanese equivalent of a raccoon/doglet kind of thing - they were all over the place in Yokosuka. I'm embarrassed to say I am not sure if they are closer to dog fox raccoon or what - but they're cute pokemon looking little buggers.

Pikachu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i was going to say...hmmm...they get into everything...sounds like a racoon to me!
they are quite a cute critter though!

They are related to raccoons.. they're becoming a popular exotic pet, it's not hard to find info on coatis.

thats really cool, i have never heard of them. But i already have my fair share of pets....and i want more...i'm going to try to not add one of those cuties to my list. lol.
