Monkey

It is possible to potty train it, but it is rather difficult, so you would most likely have to have it wear diapers.

I was wondering where I would be able to buy one of these.

Hi,
I found a link online where u can buy Capuchin monkey.

Ignorance is only a brain wave away obviously!!!

And what’s so politically correct about posting this under Photography…? I once thought stupidity was ones lack of thought and now, I wouldn’t dare say what I think.

Many people seem to know that these happened, but no one can remember who was responsible for them. Additionally, the details often vary, so maybe there were multiple instances of similar experiments?
Information on Harlow’s experiements can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Harlow if you are unfamiliar with the subject.
Specifically, experiments on orphans which would generally be considered cruelty by today’s standards.

I want to know if it’s legal to own a Common Squirrel Monkey. I have a friend who is buying one and I never knew you could. I figured it had to be one of those monkey helpers for the disabled but she said no. I live in Wisconsin and I know that the rules can be different depending on where you live in a state but I wanted to know if anyone knows anything about it.
PS: I know if I was able to get one it would be best suited in an environment that would fit it in the wild. I wouldn’t buy a monkey and have him/her live in my room because I think that’s unnatural.

Yes…you can own a squirrel monkey as a pet.
But why does your friend want a squirrel monkey…?
they probably are one of the worst pet monkeys..
I would only recommend a Tamarin or a Capuchin monkey as a pet…from personal experience.
I currently own 2 cotton top tamarins, and 1 white faced capuchin.
I live in Ohio.

if so what states or is it allowed in the whole country? thanks.

depends….see if your state is one this list….

My young lad’s sixth birthday is coming up next month and we’re throwing a party for him and all his little friends. He loves monkeys so we thought we’d get a couple to run around at the party (we’ve got a juggler and a clown booked too!)

He really likes the hairy brown one in the clint Eastwood movie. Does anyone know this make?

We were thinking of renting but I was saying to the wife that we could get a couple of the things and keep them around and dress them up with little outfits and train them to serve drinks at partys (we are quite a social family.) No one else I know has this! It would be great!

Just thought I’d check if anyone has costed this up before? Anyone know how long they last? Where’s the cheapest place to buy bananas?
Why’s it cruel!? Surely it would prefer living in a house to the jungle or dessert or wherever it is they come from, even if it is just in a cupboard or something.

My mate roger has a giraffe that he needs rid of quick. Its not a monkey and it is dead (recently passed on) but you know how much kids go for giraffes. Anyway, let me know if you’re interrested and I’ll get him to dump it in your garden, he’ll be well chuffed.

I’m going to adopt a monkey. I live in the "country" where you are allowed to keep farm animals, so is it legal to keep a pet monkey in the state of Kentucky?
I see no reason why it should be illegal.

It is NOT legal in Kentucky to adopt or purchase a monkey, but if you had it previous to July 2005, you may keep it.

Non-human primate=monkey, chimp, etc.

I don’t know but usually hair falls out from rubbing or excessive grooming which is caused by anxiety so make sure he isnt stressed out. Where did you get a monkey by the way? I want a marmoset, they are the cute small ones right?
