Great Questions. I have 2 lars gibbons, 3 celebes, & 3
capuchins. You can look them up on the pc by going to google.com and
typing in the worlds.
All of mine are extremely gentle, my youngest is going on 3years old a
capuchin, I didn't plan on her but she was offered up for sale on
Craigs list, and I couldn't let her go to just anyone. After trying
to find anyone skilled with monkeys to buy her, I gave up and bought
her myself. That's Tiki, she came here scared of everyone & biting
all men & guys because the lady who had her had a son that played
with her like she's a dog & allowed her to bite. Merlin is a
capuchin who is 14, Disney is my daughter's Capuchin who is 7.
My Celebes, Presley, Bindi, & Safari. Safari was a grown monkey
that I took in & is a dear girl.
The other two I raised from infants & are rather spoiled, but I
wouldn't have it any other way.
My Gibbons, Hope is 11, will be 12 in Dec. Link is 9. They are
incredibly awesome. Sweet as can be.
I love them all.
We've adopted human children & the primate children are a lot like
them. We have a large play room they come inside to play with us &
our other human friends who have primates. They also have large
outside cages with the ability to go inside for air conditioner or heat.
We give them zoo preme monkey chow along with a lot of other things.
They LOVE chicken, pizza, spaghetti, chili dogs, biscuits & gravy,
eggs, veggies, etc.
They have a tv inside their building & downstairs in the play
room. Along with a lot of enrichment toys. They all treat us like we
are their parents, or the heads of our troop. They are
respectful to us & to each other. I feel blessed to have them in
our lives.
Mary who is also on this group is their aunt grandma! She's also Aunt
Grandma to my kids.. the human ones. If I have to go anywhere, Mary
moves out here and cares for them. She's the one who taught me how to
raise my monkeys, so I trust her the most.
I don't work outside the home, so I'm pretty much with them all the
time. They love it when we all get in the big outside cage to play
with them. They love to wrestle, swing, jump, groom & get groomed.
