Monkeys including marmoset monkeys needs bite training and leash training before they are three months old. It is wise to start at 3 weeks old for best results. Never put a leash around its neck but around its waist. The leash maybe too big right now but it's only training for right now. Do this about 3 times a day 10 minutes each. Bite training you pinch their butt when they nibble or try to bite you even though it don't hurt you. You just lightly pinch them and tell them no by pointing your finger at them and say no. You must remember monkeys to get older and they do get strong and they will become stronger than you if they are easily angered. This will protect you and anyone that comes in their presence. Yes they are cute but they still have to be trained early just like you would a dog or a cat or a bird. It is also best to put a monkey diaper or you can get preemie diapers and cut a hole for the tail that way it's less mess. Your marmoset is very adorable. You may want to start now in training her. Marmoset monkeys are very intelligent and they're usually low maintenance monkeys. Best wishes to you and your monkey
Great advice thanks I'm waiting on mine now!!! #cantwait I have trained many animals of all kinds I even trained 3 squirrels lol and ferrets I'm interested in training my monkey to sign language and be able to tell you what there thinking and wanting with enough effort and care I have very high hopes for success! May jesus christ bless you!!!
Mother Of All Nations /SoBlessed I was looking for more baby monkey cuteness and landed on this RU-vid documentary called: My Child Is A Monkey. OMG! Good people watch this before you EVER consider adopting a primate no matter how small the species. I had no idea.
@@thanksforanotherbadhaircut1211 i watched that documentary and it absolutely broke my heart to see what some people do to thier monkeys.. For instance getting thier teeth removed, or getting them fixed, which really getting them fixed to calm them isnt that bad cuz its done to male dogs to calm them also... I DO NOT agree with getting thier teeth taken out though... Also seeing the way monkey owners dump them after they bite or hit puberty etc..., breaks my heart😥.... Not being mean or anything but i think anyone who wants to be a monkey owner should have to take prep courses and also be around grown monkeys to see what theyre to expect when thiers hits puberty. They need to think long and hard bout getting one and realize that are still a wild animal, a very cute one, but still wild...
Lynn Bandy I agree 100% Lynn. Soooo many people have asked this man what he does for a living. He never responds to that question. I think he’s gotten himself into the business of breeding primates while working as a personal trainer.
What a little muffin! Oh my god! I can only survive with my cat and I have a lovebird on the way. Exotic pets are a handful, but this little cutie you have MUST be worth the money and time.
How do they do in a workplace environment? I was thinking of training about 27 of them to work an intermediate-sized tax office in downtown Wilmington, Delware. I think they'd be perfect to take up slack in the white collar sector, especially if they can't catch the cornavirus easily.
KAT I know I’m a year late lol. But actually I’ve had exotic pets my whole life. I live in TN and most “Farmer’s Veterinarians” are willing to come to your home and care for your animal at a reasonable price. As a matter of fact, if you want a marmoset, or any other exotic, and they are illegal in your state if you find a farm vet that will come to your house and care for your pet for cash payment it’s a good way to stay under the radar because they won’t report you for having it like an actual vet office would . Unless, of course, you have a lion or something like that in your apartment lol. Then they might report you. I found a baby deer on the side of the road with it’s dead mother that had just been hit by a car so I stopped and picked him up. I ended up keeping it , which is illegal in my state, so I had to do this. Eventually the deer got too big for my estate and so I gave it to a farmer that the vet knew might want it and now it lives on his farm. I go visit him every now and then. I also had a sugar glider back before they were legalized and I had to do the same with it.
Autumn_Sun hmm a pediatrician maybe. Because a human can tell you what’s bothering them a monkey(and child) cannot. So it’s up to the doctor/vet to figure out what the problem is without actually asking.
Nerd Academy Oh my gosh this is such good news!! The exotic laws in my state are pretty strict and I was thinking the same thing. Like maybe I could get a farmer vet to come out and pay them under the table. It’s sad that any vet would refuse service just because the animal is illegal. Especially when it’s a small animal that isn’t dangerous and is strictly a loving family member!! That was so sweet of you to save the deer! I’ve always wanted one! Was it a girl or boy? I want a girl deer! They’re so beautiful and sweet! ❤️❤️❤️
Good on u for doing all the research u can! Too many people get a pet....or have a baby for that matter, and have NO clue as to what will be best for the animal. Well done!! Hoping all continues to go well! Blessings!
JC MM 2000 - no matter what type of pet - research should be carried out to make sure it will fit in with the whole family, taking into account the needs of both the pet as well as the people - schedules, diets, allergies, ages, physical abilities, etc. also
Absolutely right brother, not just anyone can handle the care and responsibility that comes with a pet like yours. Keep making the videos. Thank you for sharing the great information.
I feel like I need to have at least one in my life if not a pair, but I'm sure I can't afford proper care and vetting for the precious lil critters. Just a dream but I get to watch you and it's so awesome.
Marmosets are usually born in twins and as such, should ideally have a companion. They are wonderful adorable little creatures but I do NOT recommend them as pets, as they are specialised and demanding and the only way I could personally condone owning one (two) is if they were rescues, as they are a favourite 'tool'of neuroscience and biochemical companys to experiment on. They are often bred specifically for that reason by vile humans. I have had 3 common marmys in the past (all rescue's) and speak from experience. Please do your research and save a 'condemned' monkey if you decide to own a pair and can give them a better life.
You are adorable! I hope you have a great time with your sweet companion. She will keep you grounded and loved for years. I will enjoy watching your videos!!!
I really hope you continue these videos, they are great! I don't think there's a marmoset RU-vidr that regularly posts and I believe you will do well with subscribers. Keep up the GREAT work🙂
This is not some random plastic doll. It is an animal with feelings. This articles show how disturbing can be for primates losing a baby or being separated from their babies: www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/09/210914192804.htm www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK217852/ The first article is called: "Primate mothers may carry infants after death as a way of grieving, study finds." (It says something like this: Some primate species may express grief over the death of their infant by carrying the corpse with them, sometimes for months, according to a new UCL-led study -- with implications for our understanding of how non-human animals experience emotion.) The second article is called: "Monkeys' Responses to Separation and Loss". I lived many years of my life with my aunt. She is a biologist, an specialist in physical anthropology, and in Human Infertility and Reproduction. For a long time of her life she studied primates. She could recognize right away the remains of an Australopithecus, a woman, a child, or a man. I used to be amazed at the fact that she was one of those persons that just by seeing bones could know so much information. I used to go visit her at work in the Institute of Brain Research. They had many monkeys that were studied for their behavior. The monkeys used to have big areas of grass and trees where we would visit them. She loved those monkeys. They had several chimpanzees and other types of monkeys in that institute. I remember Julia and Moncho, they were a chimpanzee couple. I used to go and visit Margarita, she was a baby chimpanzee. All of them were sooo intelligent. Julia was trying to study me because I was a little girl. One day she grabbed me by the shoulder and tried to touch my hair too, she thought that maybe I was something strange and interesting. Margarita used to hug my auntie when we visited her. My aunt has photographs with all those animals. She always keeps Margarita's photo under the crystal of her big dresser. I never forget one day when my aunt gave Margarita a banana. Margarita tried it and then she extended the banana to me. I was supposed to share with her :3 . She wanted to offer me the banana. My aunt told me that I should not reject it because it was a special thing she was offering me, like a present. So, I took the piece of banana, pretended to give it a big bite and gave it back to Margarita. She was satisfied that I had tried some of it. And yes, those monkeys had feelings. My aunt used to talk to me about them. Sometimes they were sad, or they could be playing together, other times they could be mad at something. They acted like people.
Would you like to be created in a laboratory and be sold as a pet a few weeks later? Even if they were not taking them from the wild, that I doubt that never happens, by allowing people to have them as pets, sooner or later some sort of illegal trade might happen. These are very social creatures, the mother gives them milk till they are 5 - 10 weeks old. Then, after the weening, the father has to help introducing solid food and encouraging the baby to eat it. These marmosets have a family for a long time. They stay with their group till 2 years old if I don't remember wrong. The babies begin growing and eventually they help the mother and the father with the process of teaching and parenting other new babies. So, that means that the group or family is very close and they share the work of helping each other. The father is really important in teaching the babies marmosets. They are fundamental to their survival. Sometimes they even spend 50 % of their time helping the mother and carrying the baby. As you can see these are very social animals and they need their family. Their life will never be the same if they come from some random laboratory and are adopted by a human. If they are taken from the wild, the damage to the baby and the family is even worse. There is a very good video here in RU-vid of some people that was trying to save a baby marmoset that was trapped under some rubble. When they managed to take it out, the mom was very close watching and waiting. She right away hugged the baby and smelled it. She was so happy !! :3 She sat there, hugging her baby and she almost looked like a person. She was shaking from the happiness, and looking at the people that gave her the baby back. So, animals have feelings too. I can't deny that the temptation is strong. They are super cute, I know. I just think that there is no need to make them suffer. We can't be their real mommy, even when we would like to be so. We can't do the job as well as their real monkey mom. I know we all would like to have something so cute in our house, I am not denying it :3, the truth is that it is just wrong and bad for those animals.
Such an Informative video thanks so much 😊your little one is just precious 😍 looking forward to watching all of your videos from Teneal in Australia 😎😉
I absolutely loved your informative vid. I also loved the fact you added that while cute, they are still a wild animal. Alot of people that want one have a tendency to get lost in the cute factor and kinda forget that they are still wild... Great job explaining things, subbed 4 life🤪👌
Nice to hear a monkey owner talk about the “good”. You typically always see “I have a monkey and this is why you shouldn’t”. Seeing him peek out of your hair is pretty much ridiculously cute btw. I’m a grown man and I’m like, “D’awwww”” 🤣
Hey man. Just wanted to say thank you for these videos. I love how much your monke loves you lol it’s cute as hell. Anyways just wanted to say hi and thanks for the uploads. I’m a new fan for sure.
Very cute! You are very Loving with her👍 Make sure you supplement her with the special vitamins she needs, not only your food or she will get rickets and her legs will become deformed to the point where she won't be able to jump or even walk anymore.
You have a lot of love and patience, and will make a great human father not to mention a great marmoset pappa. Do you have to give them flu shots every year? I have heard that they can get the flu or colds from humans. Is this true? Thanks for sharing this.
Your video was the first I saw about a marmoset. I now have a 2yr old healthy baby girl. Her name is Mÿa. She’s a sweetheart. You can see her on my page.
I would like to adopt one! I just don’t have 1000 dollars but I see there mistreated and would love to take care of one! I watch them all the time and I hate to see when there mom or other ppl mistreat if there is some way I can reduce or adopt one would be priceless
Oh, yeah, I was watching that show, Dr K Exotic Vet and a Marmoset died from a Herpes virus. They said they SHOULD NOT ever go out in public at all! That virus as well as many more are deadly to them and they catch them easily!! I just wanted you to know..I wonder if they have a vaccination for that? It's 100% fatal..
No vaccination for it. Must never kiss them or share food in a way that transmits bodily fluids. Typically lethal within 4 days and its a very painful death.
I do havea link to someone on here that you should not buy from.While she was showing her little darling's, I could see ANTS crawling on the counter where the Marmoset's cage was sitting. That sucked.How can I get the UTUBE link to you Ernie?
Thanks for sharing your experience, and advise. All of the info was very helpful, especially letting people know that they don’t have to vaccinate their marmoset the way you would some other animals. I think that vaccines are over-used, and the general population is under-educated. The “more is better” theory is not one size fits all! Your baby looks very happy and well adjusted, so I wish you the best, and will be watching you more! GOD BLESS!
This video is from Sep 2018 and in Aug 2019 you posted a video on this same channel saying NOT to buy marmoset monkey’s! Why is this video still here if you didn’t love Little Bits and monkey’s? Enough to keep her? All we want to know is if Little Bits is still alive we are so worried about this fur baby angel 😢 because no one loves her enough to keep her safe and responsibility so so sad you said you would promise to always take care of Little Bits 😢and keep her safe for her whole life 😥😢
You’re an amazing papa to the marmoset monkey and you’re explaining very well on how to take care of the Monkey as well as whether or not it’s a good idea to get one depending on your lifestyle I appreciate your information on your channel also do you have a good breeder that you recommend?? Thanks!!
“Yeah she loves 💗belly rubs... see how cute just loo...🐒💨💩...🤬AWW NOT AGAIN!🙅🏿♂️ THAT SMELL👃🏿 JUST CAME OUT MY HAIR🤦🏿♂️ HOLD-STILL YOUR 🐾TRACKING IT IN MY BRAIDS!! 💇🏿♂️ That’s it, where’s my cat?” 😼...🍖😺...🦴
Hey Ernie, first of all, what a great VLOG! Your video was informative and full of important aspects of owning a Marmoset! I've been "entertaining" the ownership of a primate myself, but living in NY, we're NOT allowed! You MUST be in Florida..lol
