He was lucky enough to enjoy a full Thanksgiving dinner — complete with turkey, cranberry sauce and sides. He was clearly so, so thankful for this delicious gift. RonRon’s owner [explains](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vck7uR6W3dU "undefined") in the video description that he bought the animal from a licensed exotic animal breeder in Oklahoma.
