You should conduct the necessary research to ensure you are prepared for this lifelong commitment before buying a marmoset, Capuchin, Spider monkey, or any other primate species as a pet. Whether you plan to buy it directly from a breeder or from a broker.
The average lifespan of a monkey is very lengthy, ranging from 15-20 years for marmosets (also known as finger monkeys or marmosets) to up to 45 years for Capuchin. Since there are no predators in our homes, and we have access to monkey veterinarians, monkeys kept as pets frequently live far longer then those were kept in the wild.
Since monkeys are very sociable creatures, unless you provide them with a companion, you will need to spend a lot of time with them. Children can handle newborn monkeys, but because adult monkeys can be unpredictable at times, they make terrible pets for young children.
Make sure you conduct the essential information before purchasing a pet monkey, so you can determine whether you are prepared for this commitment. To get a sense of what to anticipate, read the article.
