One question though - I had heard that as they get older, male coatis become more surly and aggressive. Not sure at what age. Have you neutered yours? Is that even a thing?
Oh, and welcome to the forum!

Yep, to keep coatis friendly you have to spay or neuter them before they hit 1 year of age. I have neutered Vega- it's a thing, but you need a special exotic animal vet, and it's about $350 for a neuter. They get less active and more easily irritated when they're old, but that's about it.
