What kind of food does it eat? Are they friendly? Do they make good companions?Should I buy two to keep them company? How much do they cost? How much will it cost to mantain one? or two?
monkies dont make good pets..
they are aggressive for one, and it cannot be "trained out of them" Many primate owners suffer serious injuries from their pet monkies. They bite, hit, slap, pinch, etc.
They are disgusting.. they masturbate, they throw poop, they smear their food, they cannot be housebroken, and they will not keep a diaper on.
They can carry diseases including HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, Hepatitis, etc.
The monkey itself is around $3,000-5,000 and up.. this is just the price of the monkey, there’s also the cost of shipping, obtaining proper paperwork, licencing, etc. They are illegal in many areas and can be difficuilt to ship.
Vet care is not cheap.. they need specialized vets.. $$$
They have specialized diets.. its not just bannanas.. they need fresh fruits, but they also need special ordered diets and supplements for optimal health.. you can just go to the petshop and buy monkey chow either.
They need proper containment.. my dog’s breeder has several capuchins as pets, and she has a large outdoor run for them that took up about half of her backyard.. it looked like a very expensive enclosure, as she had to make sure it was escape proof, and that there was also plenty in there for the monkies to do to keep them entertained. I’d have to guess that she put well over $10,000 into that outdoor enclosure.
The market of buying monkies is also cruel.. to get a monkey, they have to be taken as newborns from their mother. Think about that.
Monkies are a lifetime commitment.. they can easily live 25-30+ years. They do not adapt well to new owners, not even with experienced primate owners.. that means you have to plan all vacations, etc to accomodate for your monkey for the next 25+ years..
should you find that you cannot care for your monkey or cant afford it.. the monkey will pretty much have to be euthanized, as no one can take it. Zoos do NOT take people’s unwanted pets. Pet monkies often lack the proper social skills to integrate them with other primates.
I recently got sea monkeys, and they are all about full size now. I notice very small perfectly round black dots floating in the water, and i dont know if they are sea monkey eggs or a form of bacteria. If it is the bacteria…what should i do??? Please answerrr!!
The eggs are usually in sacs that will be attached to the females near where their tails meet their bodies. I’ve never seen eggs floating around like that. If these black dots are some kind of mold or bacteria, try to scoop them out. Are your Sea Monkeys okay? If they don’t seem sick or are dying in large numbers, scooping out the dots probably won’t hurt them.

Life, through a sight glass
Prepared, stylized, perfected
Controlled experiment
Organized information
Logical outcome
When I, under a quiet autumn moon
Spied a vision of beauty beyond belief
In her sleep, with the golden leaves falling
I laid next to her and stared at the sky
Love, through a looking glass
Pretentious, stubborn, perfect
Uncontrolled excitement
Organ grinder’s monkey
Illogical outcry

Yes, there seems to be a moon and a monkey in the air these days…
I don’t really want an audience but he’s thrilled me on many occasions.
DANCE NOW! wherever you may be cause I am the Lord of the dance said he, and I’ll lead you all wherever you may be, and I’ll lead you all to the dance said he….diddley, de, de!
Thank you and please answer the question if you own a Capuchin or Squirrel Monkey and I can talk to you about owning one because I am very interested. It is legal here in Ohio and I doresearch everyday since like the past year.
You first have to make sure that you are the right person for a monkey. The most common species of monkey kept is the capuchin all though spider monkeys and macaques are also commonly kept. Here are some site that may help.

I also have a yahoo group for exotic pet owners called "You Have A What?"
http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/you-have-a-what/
There are several monkey owners there that would love to help you.
it doesnt have to be spider monkey, just something with monkey…
no he doesn’t. he only says it in the movie of twilight. and i don’t even think they go on a tree. as far as i remember
I’ve seen pictures and people tell me about how small spider monkeys are.
Are they so small that they can wrap around your finger? Can you give me a picture?
They are pulling your leg. Spider monkeys are some of the larger monkeys. There is a picture at the link.
I tried monkey bread from a friend not to long ago and I loved it. I would like to try and make it. Does anyone know how to make it?
Cinnamon Monkey Bread
From Cindy Crawford
Ingredients
2 loaves white bread, uncooked (freezer section of grocery store)
1 stick melted butter (add more if needed)
2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cinnamon
Directions
1. Thaw bread dough overnight in refrigerator. When soft, use kitchen scissors to cut it up into one inch pieces. Dip dough into melted butter, then roll around in sugar/cinnamon combination until covered.
2. Line bottom of a bundt pan and then start to layer in evenly. Cook at temperature recommended on dough packaging for about one hour until golden brown and hard on the top. Remove from oven and flip over on to a larger platter. Let sit with pan on top for a few minutes while the sweet mixture runs down the bread.
3. Garnish with holly, marichiano cherries, candied nuts, icing, or decoration of your choice.
4. To eat, pick apart—like a bunch of monkeys.

Marmosets are mainly fruit eaters but will take live insects like mealworms and wax worms. Locust can be given now and again. Do some research or ask at a zoo. The person who sold it to you should have given you a care sheet on how to look after it.
Has there been a picture released on the results of the monkey ripping off her face?
Do you really need to see that . It is horrible and grotesque.
That monkey was a 20 year old 200 hundred pound chimpanzee.
Me and my family are wanting to adopt a capuchin monkey for a forever baby….does anyone know if they are even legal in Kentucky?
Thanks and God Bless

You’ll need to determine if you can have it, prove you came by it legally, get the proper permit, pay an annual fee for the permit, house it according to the specific requirments and be able to transport it according to the specific requirments.
