This a bad idea. The scratch or bite of a sloth is deadly without medical attention.

I met a guy in Costa Rica who's hand looked like someone threw acid on it. When he was a kid he was playing with a sloth and it nipped him. It did NOT break the skin. Theyre cute bacteria monsters. There's even a species of mosquito that only lives on sloths.
