New Monkey Cage

My New Squirrel Monkey Enclosure. It is a 10 foot x 6 foot x 6 foot tall cage, with 3 nest boxes, live trees, swings, and perches. You can see my two adult squirrel monkeys playing inside.

How much did it cost?????

[xeileen916x]

@MegaBillmurray About $400 in materials bc I bought a premade dog kennel and lined it with chicken wire on inside so they can't get out. Plus 4x4 wood for floor to mount cage on fixing it to floor. I am making their permanent cage now using 1in chainlink. That was expensive. Ive spent about $1,900 so far for an 18ftx18ft cage.

What's the toilet situation like? do they have a 'corner' or do they just go anywhere they want?? 

[xeileen916x]

@sharkbaitboy Anywhere!

@xeileen916x

Yes they do! I know they are smart animals so could they ever be litter box trained or something?

[xeileen916x]

@williamcullin it is possible but difficult and not  100%

ps when they reach sexual maturity they are harder to keep(4got to put it)

raising monkeys is a rewarding experience depending on how your look after them but remember there smart and with out 100% knowledge they would be a night mare they are expensive and there is no such thing as a trained monkey they are free minded if you treat it right it i will you. if you treat it wrong it will you always remember that.

Nice idea using the chicken wire! Gives them more manuverability in there, and thats a pretty big cage compared to what I've seen. Man, I want a monkey sooo bad!!!
