Monkey

in PA you can not own any monkeys.
i dont think in any state in the USA you can owna monkey they are wild life.
you can get a permit or licsence and get one i believe.
or you can become a zoo keeper and care for the sick ones that need rehabilitated.

do anyone know where i can find my yearbook picture without ending up with a monkey picture joke at the end? and do anyone know where i can get a mugshot of someone who was arrested 8 years ago?

Man this is the funniest joke I’ve seen all day!

Just curious to know if a person can tell an age of a monkey? If so, how can you tell of an age of primates. In dogs and cats you can tell their age by their teeth.

Teeth work well in monkeys as well. There are also a number of clues in the bones, if you’re dealing with a dead animal. But often the easiest method is behavioral. A 6-month old capuchin money will still be very attached to its mother, whilea year-old monkey will be much more independent.

I have mozilla firefox with the download helper on it and I just need a website that will let me listen to the full songs.

I had an uncle that had one for a short time and it bit the fool out of him.

I dislike primates as pets because they carry diseases that are communicable to humans.

were can i buy a spider monkey? i want one for a pet

In order to have an exotic animal you have to be bonded for either $30,000 to $50,000 depending on your state. You would also have to check your state and local laws . AS far as obtaining one , you can’t purchase one unless it is a rescue and that means someone already owned it and can not take care of it. You would have to have written consent from your local vet that they are experienced in handling exotic animals. Once you do this then you can put your name on a list.

I have two monkeys and they are always fighting. I’ve tried everything to get them to stop but nothing works. Any suggestions?

Give each a gallon of cheese they love the smell and they will throw it at eachother for fun.

I mean, is it just a stereotype that monkey eat bananas? I would eat a lot if I was a monkey. Bananas are good.

well going by my pet monkeys id say not a lot. MINE don’t even like bananas

I have the $, work day shift, plenty of room etc…..

First of all, they are diurnal, so night shift would be better. Second, check out your state’s regulations. They are illegal in most states without a permit.
IF legal, I would suggest a pair, but make sure they are both very young or have grown up together. The dominant one would literally beat the crap out of a subordinate if they haven’t grown up together. I would also suggest either 2 females, or a male and female of different species.
As for caring for them: know that the dominant one will most likely spread her scent by urinating and rubbing her genitalia on every upraised surface. It does get very smelly and is very hard to clean up.Plus, once you clean, she will do it again to reestablish her territories.
As for diet: they need a special marmoset diet (Mazuri makes one) of hard biscuits that need to be supplemented with fruit, veggies, and worms. Every morning we give roughly a cup of fruit, veggies, waxworms, mealworms, random insects, etc. They also get roughly 1/4-1/2 cup (for a pair) of canned marmoset diet (it is in an orange can, I can’t think of the brand) We leave the biscuits out at all times. With this diet, a cup of biscuits lasts about a week or more, and the veggies and canned diet is gone in a couple hours.
Some favorite foods of ours: meal worms, applesauce, grasshoppers, grapes, cheerios (on a string- absolute favorite!)
Cage specs: you want a pretty big cage area- they are pretty active. I would suggest a set up about 2-3 feet off the ground, at least 4-5 feet tall and 4-5 feet wide. They are rarely on the ground. You need several sized branches and platforms. Ours love a little ferret/bird hide-a-way cloth bed thing (no clue on the name) that they sleep in every night.
