Kinkajous are omnivorous creatures that eat both fruits and insects. They feed mostly at night, foraging for food in the canopy of trees. A mature kinkajou can eat up to 10% of its body weight in a single night.

Kinkajous typically eat several small meals throughout the night, foraging for fruit, nectar, flowers, and occasionally insects. They have a high metabolism and consume food multiple times during their active period.

Kinkajous are opportunistic feeders and may eat several small meals throughout the night. In the wild, they may spend up to 80% of their time foraging for food. The frequency of their meals may depend on the availability of food in their environment. In captivity, they are typically fed a diet of fruit, vegetables, and protein sources, which may be offered in several small meals throughout the day.

Kinkajous, being predominantly active at night, eat several times throughout the evening. They are flexible eaters, ingesting small amounts of food at different time intervals. Feeding frequency relies on the presence of food, leading to either frequent eating every couple of hours or extended gaps between meals.

Kinkajous are nocturnal animals, and their feeding patterns can vary. They often forage for food during the night and may feed several times throughout the night. Their feeding frequency can be influenced by factors like food availability, seasonal changes, and individual preferences. In captivity, they are typically fed once a day, but in the wild, their feeding habits are more flexible and depend on their nutritional needs and the availability of food sources.

Kinkajous are generally nocturnal animals, and their feeding habits can vary, but they typically eat several times during the night. They are opportunistic feeders, so the frequency of their meals can depend on food availability. In the wild, they may feed on fruit, nectar, and insects multiple times during their active hours, while in captivity, they are often fed at least twice a day. The exact feeding frequency can also vary depending on factors like age, health, and individual preferences.

They also have a fast metabolism and high energy. If using the suggested diet above, I would suggest 1.5-2 cups of food per adult kinkajou. Babies may eat slightly less, so I would suggest 1-1.5 cups food, cut up.
