That is the cutest thing EVER!

Omg that is the cutest thing!! I'm sooo jealous.

Where on earth did you get a monkey?!

I've seen them for sale but it's been years!

I was always intrigued by them but was put off by the specialized diet they required.

very cute, but ive only heard horror stories about monkeys, i wish you the best and hope to never hear on from you.

That is just too cute!

Got him from a breeder in FL. He was in pretty bad shape when we got him. My wife researched and learned exactly how to care for him, she has done GREAT! He does have a special powder formula that she mixes with yogart to give him all the special nutrients he needs. Other than that he eats whatever we eat, except fried foods!!!! LOL I got in a little trouble for the fried chicken but he was mostly eating the chicken out of the inside, not the breading. We were told numerous times how crazy we were for getting him because he would always be too "wild" to make a good pet! THEY WERE WRONG. He is our little man and makes a great pet. He loves attention and goes with us to all the reptile shows we set up at.

Dude, that little guy is awesome!

Very cute little man! :D

When i first saw him at the show, i had to take a double look. I did not expect to see a little tiny monkey getting his yellow leather diaper changed! Thats a very cool pet though Frankie and i sure taking care of him is just as fun as it is work.
