    Hi jennifer. Welcome to zoochat! I'm no familiar with kinkajou so I can't tell. But I believe some people in zoochat must know.

    Hi Jennifer.Welcome to zoochat.I am new too.
    Kinkajous are able to reproduce all year round. Pregnancy lasts 112 to 118 days and ends with one, rarely two cubs. Babies are blind, deaf and helpless at birth. Mother is very protective and she travel with baby attached to her belly wherever she goes.
    Male kinkajous reach sexual maturity at the age of 18 months, females at the age of 30 months.Now to your question, you can tell when a kinkajou is pregnant at 3 weeks after mating.
