Monkey

It’s sitting at the bottom of my tank and I just noticed it today. I’m not sure what it is.

that is a dead sea monkey, you should remove …

I know they are a lot of responsibility and i am dead set on getting one if I have to bother my mom tell she finally breaks down and says yes. I have been researching them and I really want one, Also What permits if any do I need FOR THE STATE OF SOUTH DAKOTA IN WATERTOWN,SD IN THE COUNTY OF CODINGTION AND IF I LIVE IN THE COUNTRY ON A FARM

Pygmy marms are very rare, I know of one (thatdamnmonkey.com) and its $5000

I would suggest a common(white tufted) or pensulata (black tufted) which will range from $1500 to $3000

Check ur wildlife and game for permits or if its even legal.

Monkeys take a lot of work.

There schedule: I wake up at 11 am, make they breakfast(yogurt, marmoset diet, special low iron formula), I eat, take them to monkey proof room which includesa kitty condo, ropes, wood trees, a tv and chairs for me, I do some virtual school, feed them again at 3 pm(fruits like kiwi,apple,etc), then we chill I finger wrestle them, they lick up my nose which kills after a while, I feed again at 7 pm(plain noodles and hard boiled egg) then my mom comes home to give me a break, I feed them again at 10:30(same as breakfast) then at 11 they know its bed time and go to there cages which are full of hammock, ropes etc. If its warm and sunny I will take them for walks, they need sunlight or uvb light for Atleast an hour a day so there bones are healthy. I change there diapers every 30-60 mins. They get mealworms 3 times a week and get 15 worms each. In the wild they chew trees to get SAP so be prepares for ur wood furniture and doors to get chewed. As babies they need around the clock care. Feedings every 2-4 hours, heating pad, and to be held a lot for bonding. Sewsimplymonkey.com

And you need an exotic vet, not one that works with dogs and cats.

For a breeder I suggest chris demango, healthy, nice monks.

So after all that do u think u can handle it, since u said ur mom will get it, I’m assuming your young and go to school, you can’t leave them for 8 hours, if u do you will have to get two.
Also if ur sick, flu, chicken pox anything, they will die

I recently bought some sea monkeys but it turns out they are not monkeys after all. I threw in a banana and they died so now I don’t know what to do?
Are they really going t evolve into monkeys that live in water?
Look guys, we not in TRON now. If you got nothing constructive to say then do not reply.

Yes! They will evolve. soon they will become monkeys from balloon tower defence (or at least mine did) If i was you i would hold off throwing bananas until there a little bigger

I love my daschund & spider monkeyy =D

Omg this is so cute, have you tried looking on ebay?

anyone know where you can get pet monkeys? i live on a farm with so much space, going to make a huge caged play ground, but I dont know where i can buy a monkey to go in it.

Black market only. There are "breeders" who tear baby monkeys away from their others at a painfully early age to sell for the pet trade, it’s not kind and it’s not fair and leads to exceptionally stressed creatures!

Unless you’re set up to care for exotic monkeys and have experience keeping them, such as from a zoo background, skip this animal. They aren’t a pet. They are difficult and complex animals. Not cheap either and live a long time, over 30 years in captivity for spider monkeys. You’d also have a very hard time finding a vet to treat it, you’d need a zoo vet who may not work with private individuals who’ve got monkeys because lyke omg they’re so cool!

I read that Africa and South America split 135 million years ago or so (maybe wrong). But Monkeys are found on both continents and are less than 50 million years old and the first primates are only around 65 million years old. How could monkeys have evolved separately as they did?
I did ask this in the biology section and I didn’t get any answers.
Thank you everyone for answering.

"About 40 million years ago the Simiiformes infraorder split into parvorders Platyrrhini (New World monkeys—in South America) and Catarrhini (apes and Old World monkeys—in Africa). The Platyrrhini are currently conjectured to have migrated across the Atlantic Ocean to South America on a raft of vegetation.
At that time, the Isthmus of Panama had not yet formed, ocean currents and climate were quite different, and the Atlantic Ocean was less than the present 2,800 km (1,700 mi) width by about a third; possibly 1,000 km less, based on the current estimate of the Atlantic mid-ocean ridge formation processes spreading rate of 25 mm/year."(1)
