Ricki’s story is one of quiet strength and finding where you truly belong. Originally kept as a pet, it didn’t take long for his natural instincts to surface, and his former guardians soon realized he needed a more appropriate life. After a brief stop at another facility, Ricki made his way to Jungle Friends, and that’s where everything finally clicked: he found the perfect partner and the peaceful home he’d been waiting for.

Though naturally reserved, Ricki has a strong sense of loyalty and a deep bond with his companion. He prefers to observe the world from a comfortable distance, often seen lounging contentedly on top of his heat cave, soaking in the sunshine and surveying his surroundings. While he may not seek out constant excitement, he’s definitely not shy about expressing himself, especially when it comes to sending a threatening face to his neighbors across the runway!

Ricki only has three legs, but you’d never know it by watching him. He gets around his habitat with ease and confidence, navigating ramps, platforms, and sunspots with the grace of a monkey who’s fully in control of his space. Gentle, watchful, and fiercely devoted to his partner, Ricki is a beautiful example of how healing, companionship, and the right environment can help even the most cautious soul thrive.
