i need to know a breeder for this specific type of monkey that is locater in illinois or close to illinois.
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.

I want something similar to a Pygmy Marmoset but I figured out it isn’t legal to keep them in Maryland. What other species of monkey can be kept in Maryland that is small? Thanks!
Marmoset is the smallest monkey found in Brazil that can be kept at home but cannot be kept in HDB flat. It can only be kept in a house with spacious room and it must be maintained every time.
I have been looking on the internet for monkey breeders, but havent found hardly any that I know I can trust. If anybody is or knows a monkey breeder I would greatly appreciate if you could give me their web address where I can talk to them about buying a capuchin monkey.
Is it even legal in your area to own one?
Do you have an exotic vet near by?
Do you know there diet to keep them healthy?
Did you know you cant be around them when your sick?
Can you afford enclosures?
do you have enough time for it or should you get 2?
Honestly do research, monkeys are great but only for the right owner.
Several countries have monkeys, whats the diff?
Monkeys from the Americas are bigger and better breeders. As stated some Philippines monkeys are crab eaters, but almost all have crabs. The origine of that infestation has been traced to on job training inn the provinces to prepare for bar work.
Should we throw those monkey wrenches out of government in 2012?
Those people were elected on the promise of job creation. All they have done is to create conditions that are hostile to job creation. They claim that government does not work, and they are actively proving it.
it is stunning that those who say that govt doesn’t work seem to be the ones unable to function in it.
maybe those who say govt doesn’t work are just really bad at doing this and need to consider other career choices.
so, yes – those who actively try to destroy our cherished institutions need to go.
and i’m talking about the republicans who seem to think that causing a worldwide financial depression will somehow be a good thing.
I’m going to a friend’s wedding and they are having a monkey theme wedding, because idrk, they are retarded when it comes to their love of monkeys. Anyway, I’m wondering if I should throw poop at the bride and groom and jump on the table and swing from lighting fixtures?
I totally forgot about the bouquet of bananas. Thanks for the reminder. I don’t want to look like an idiot!
Um, duh! This is absolutely appropriate! Also, don’t forget the bouquet of bananas.
pygmy marmoset?
pygmy marmosets are rare so cheapest is $5,500.
marmosets are $1,500-$2,000.
they need a whole diet marmoset chow, fruits, veggies.
sunlight for an 1 hour.
proper enclosures.
youll be spending $20 a month on mini pads for their special made diapers from sewsimplymonkey, fruits, veggies.
cages range from $200-$1000. they need atleast 4ft/5ft/5ft cages, tons of toys.
you need a special vet that works with monks not just dogs, a visit can be a whole $200!
dont vacine them cause they will die. both sexes need to be fixed so look at about $650.
they need to be out and playing with you for atleast 5 hours a day.
email me for more info, they are tons of work!

Try custom cages: http://www.cageworks.com/index.html
Give them the measurements you want, and they build it!
My wife & I have been studying & researching different species of monkey’s over the last five years but we unfortunately can’t afford a six thousand dollar capuchin monkey & unfortunately can’t have children & we believe adopting a capuchin would give us that responsibility of being parents since we can’t have children ! From our understanding the capuchin is the smartest out of all species? Where could we go to adopt a capuchin ? Thanks for any help !!! 
The best place to "adopt" a capuchin monkey is through a reputable Sanctuary such as Jungle Friends in the USA, or The Monkey Sanctuary in the UK. The monkey you adopt will stay at the Sanctuary in a proper social group and live out its life in the best way it can, given that it is on captivity. Your support will allow this to happen.
Capuchins are NOT substitute children and attempts to raise them as such cause so much suffering! Have you heard of those stories of children being "raised’ by wild dogs? The kids survive but develop severe abnormalities. The same thing happens to monkeys that are raised by people instead of other monkeys. And, in order to become some person’s "child", the infant monkey is torn from its own mother far before natural weaning age – whereas they would naturally depend on their mothers for long periods of time, and would maintain close bonds for years. This separation causes acute psychological suffering and lasting damage to both mothers and infants. This also makes infant monkeys particularly needy and responsive to human interaction – which is often mistaken for happiness by their new ‘owners’.
If you bring a monkey into your home, you will be seriously compromising its welfare, as well as your own safety. NO monkeys make good pets/"children". Please don’t even consider it – it causes so much suffering!
There are groups that actively advocate what they call ‘responsible ownership’ of primates, but these groups are usually largely concerned more with the maintenance of their ‘right’ to keep monkeys than with the welfare of the monkeys themselves. Groups and individuals that are seriously concerned with the welfare of individual monkeys as well as with human safety and conservation of threatened wild primate species inevitably agree: monkeys are not pets.
There is no such thing as a ‘domestic’ primate – all primates (apart from humans!) are wild animals. Domestication is a process that happens over many generations of selective breeding. Simply being born in captivity does NOT mean domestication!
Chances are, upon reaching adolescence, pet monkeys will become unmanageable, unpredictable and dangerous as they try to assert themselves and as their natural instincts kick in and they do not know what to do with them. Their owners and their owners’ friends and families are at real risk of serious injury. Even small monkeys can be dangerous as they are strong, quick and clever. Pet monkeys who have become threats are often confined to small cages to live out the remainder of their lives with no further hope of social contact.
All primates are social animals. Denied the opportunity to interact with others of their own kind, pet primates often develop serious psychological problems such as severe aggression, depression, and/or stereotypical behaviours such as rocking, pacing and self-mutilation.
Primates have physical and psychological needs which are very difficult to meet in captive situations, such as the need for high levels of intense natural light; the need for vertical space; the need for constant mental stimulation; and the need for an appropriate diet. They are built perfectly for survival in their natural habitats, and are not suited to lives of confinement and solitude.
Wild primates spend a huge portion of their waking hours travelling and foraging in search of food. They urinate and defecate wherever they happen to be. In the home, this translates into destruction and mess.
Some primates can live for forty or fifty years – a factor which is rarely taken into consideration by prospective pet owners. When pet monkeys outlive their owners (or their owners’ finances or patience!), provisions must be made for their future – but sanctuaries are few and many of these are filled to capacity.
Some primates are known to be carriers of diseases which can and do get passed on to humans. The Simian Herpes B virus – which is carried by a “high percentage of macaques” and is “almost always fatal to humans”- is not reliably detectable by testing. Additionally, diseases which seem inconsequential to humans can infect and kill monkeys.
All primates are threatened in the wild. The keeping of pet monkeys in places like the USA and the UK appears to have a negative impact on wild populations, whether directly (to feed these trades) or indirectly (by setting examples… if people in America can keep monkeys as pets, why shouldn’t people in habitat countries?).
Why would anybody choose to keep monkeys as pets in light of all of the above? It is clearly not in the interest of any monkey to be kept as a pet – it is a selfish act that causes all kinds of misery. Please do not do it.
