[sidoraking]

at least you have an area for them to play some people just make the monkeys sat indoors with them or make them go to parks and put them on leashes .,,, weird,

[TheAnimalGirl09]

so cute

[medasst100]

are your squirrel monkeys full grown in this video?

[xeileen916x]

@medasst100 yes pretty much. Joey has bulked up a little but Sofie is the same. Squirrels weigh between 1.5-3 pounds as adults. Joey was probably at 1.5 here.

can i have one in nj where did you git it

[dirkjolandie]

Nice cage! Thanks for sharing! :)

[TheDrewBug]

if you only have one monkey, can their companian be a nother animal such as a dog, or maybe even a human?

also that was an intresting cage. if the cage is mesh at the bottom, wont they hurt themself if they fall?

[xeileen916x]

I have yet to see a monkey fall. Perhaps a baby who has not quite yet developed their motor skills. But juveniles adults (over 3-4 months or so) won't fall. They need 24/7 companionship. Although some do have singles with other animals/people it is usually best to have two.

[vidgirl4444]

what you feed them???

[xeileen916x]

I feed them monkey chow (commercial food), veggies such as carrots, corn, cucumber, etc, & fruit such such as mango, banana, grapes, lychee. I also give them peanuts, & other nuts. They have a pretty healthy diet. Oh yeah they love meal worms too.

[vidgirl4444]

AWESOME thx!! are they hard to handle? bite? etc..

[xeileen916x]

Handling takes knowledge. The are a lot of work. Any animal with teeth can bite. If raised properly it shouldn't be an issue.

[snowboardfreak69]

WTF its GOD DAMN MONKEY!! OMG what the hells wrong with you people? you dont keep a monkey as a pet! they belong in the wild......

dumbasses

[zenya123]

AWw i want one they are very playful but i dont know if i can buy one of those in sweden D: . Cool monkey btw very cute =D

[Yippyio682]

Should monkeys be kept in pairs or are they ok alone? I heard they can get jelous of each other, yet they are good company for one another. Does is differ with breeds?

[xeileen916x]

Yes, primates should always be kept in pairs. Usually male- female, or female- female. They are social animals that require companionship 24/7. The only realistic way of achieving this is by having two or more. They really benefit from interaction with other monkeys.

[SparrMasterr]

Do you put dypers on these one or? ?

[xeileen916x]

I only diaper them sometimes when they are in my room, or I take them with me somewhere. For the most part they are diaperless. I like them to be natural.

[UrbanCurrent]

They seem pretty free to go to me, so if they stick around it mus t mean they are happy to be there.

[dartfrogz]

They are actually captive bred idiot. G

[TheRealAmyMaldonado]

your just jealous just because you cant have one or cant afford one you start ppl they suck and you think animals should be free they should but at least the owner is taking good care of him and not hurting him and btw keeping a monkey as a pet prevents from monkeys being extinct

[JackieFuckingChan]

those are cool

do they throw poo? on tv they always say dont get a monkey because they throw poo

[xeileen916x]

I have NEVER seen a monkey throw poop, & I have been around quite a few. It is possible because they have hands/arms like us, but a happy well adjusted monkey won't grab its own poop and throw it. Monkeys make a big mess...BUT are pretty clean animals themselves & poop is messy. If they did catch it they would drop it and wipe their hands on the 1st thing available.

[JackieFuckingChan]

Squirrel monkeys must not throw their own droppings, but i've heard a lot of stories of monkeys in general do it. Maybe other types do it?

Or maybe it's just a Hollywood stereotype...

[xMEXIC00Lx]

i want a monkey that could roll a blunt

[kthryne17]

I hope they bite the

crap out of you.

[BeatlesManiac45]
