I have a two-year old marmoset that I raised from a baby. In the last two months she has started biting our feet, nowhere else, just feet. Can any one tell me why?
1. You said you raised her from a baby. That’s your first problem. Human-reared monkeys are psychologically effed up.
2. Almost ALL monkeys bite, and viciously. She has probably just hit sexual maturity thus the reason for the change.
3. Most likely you are keeping her incorrectly if you got her from someone who let you have her when she should have still been with her mother. Lets guess, indoors, little access to natural UV light necessary for her health, living in a parrot cage or running loose around your house, no other monkeys for company? Marmosets might be cute, they might be little but getting things RIGHT for them is next to impossible. This is why they don’t make good pets, because they become aggressive.
Well done on incorrectly raising your wild animal. I would quite happily steal your marm off you and give her to a sanctuary where she would be looked after properly.
Whether it’s in poor taste to call a sitting president names or not, why is it not racist to say someone white looks like a monkey, but "racist" if that someone is black?
Is someone saying it’s racist to say anyone black looks like a monkey implying all blacks look like monkeys?
It doesn’t necessarily. It’s just the latest automatic outburst libs make against anyone making valid points counter to their political stance. It’s all they have, considering they have no substance.
I am getting a marmoset monkey male in about 2 weeks i just want any suggestions (nothing negative please)
I hope you’ve done your research, these are exceptionally tricky animals that shouldn’t be kept alone, they should be kept in family groups in huge aviary style enclosures with minimal human contact. A lone male will be miserable!
They can also suffer diet problems if fed wrongly, including getting obese – you need a plentiful supply of things like live bugs and fresh fruit and veg, see here:

I live in wisconsin, and cant find any reputable breeders anywhere. I am willing to drive it would just be nice if I didn’t have to drive across the county, and unless you own one please do not tell not to get one, thank you.
Actually, you can own primates in the U.S, they are completely legal in several states, and in others you need a permit.
I do not know of any breeders in your state. You may have to have one shipped, or drive to go get it. You can check classified ads, you might find something close by. Here are a few:

Good luck! I love capuchins, but I could never have one. I have a kinkajou instead 
you just use left bumper for xbox and im not sure for ps3
Eagles, like Harpy eagles.
Cats like Margays which hunt in the trees, Ocelots, Oncilla and occasionally Jaguars and Puma when the monkeys venture to the ground.
Large snakes.
The diet of the monkeys is generally gum from trees and fruits, however they prey on insects, birds eggs and insects larvae.
I just heard about a psychology experiment on monkeys where they were taught to pull a chain for food, but if they pulled it, it would shock an unrelated monkey whose suffering was visible through a window. The discovered result was that an overwhelming percentage of the monkeys refused to pull, even when starving. Can anyone provide more information on this experiment, especially who performed it?
Rhesus monkeys were trained to pull on one of two chains, depending on the color of a flashing light, in order to receive food. After training, another monkey was displayed through a one-way mirror.
By pulling the chains in the correct fashion, the first monkey would receive the food reward, but one of the chains now delivered a powerful and painful electric shock to the floor of the box holding the other monkey. It was discovered that most of the monkeys would not shock another monkey even if it meant not being able to eat. One of the animals went without food for twelve days rather than hurting the other monkey. Monkeys who had been shocked in previous experiments themselves were even less willing to pull the chain and subject others to such torment

We made the glaze in F.A.C.S class last year, and I loved it but hated the bread, but now I’ve found the perfect monkey bread recipe and really want the glaze! I remember it was made on the stove in a saucepan, not just in a mixing bowl.
Sorry, that’s not it. I also really don’t need a monkey bread recipe– already got one.
3/4 cup butter or margarine — (1 1/4 sticks)
2/3 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
In saucepan melt butter; stir in brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cook, stirring frequently until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Pour hot syrup over biscuit mixture in pan. Bake until done. Turn out onto serving plate.

Think and then star this question.Then please answer.
(The correct answer is Monkeys have more intelligence than humans!) Star please!
Friend,
Obvious difference is The Monkeys HAVE TAILS and HUMANS DO NOT HAVE TAILS.
But in spite of having NO TAILS, majority Humans POKE THEIR NOSES IN EVERY MATTER NOT CONCERNING THEM.
I was just wondering how many people have Marmosets as pets. I have a Common marmoset as a pet. I live in USA Florida. and out here in the South Marmosets are very Popular as pets. I have NO regrets. he is one of the best pets I have ever gotten. He is great with my kids, dogs and parrots.
I have 4 cotton top tamarin monkeys..I love them to death They are a lot like marmosets..but are actually friendlier and more intelligent..only a few ounces larger to.
