Baby monkeys are born just like humans are born. Baby monkeys feed on milk from their mom until they become old enough to hunt or forage. Monkeys eat a variety of foods. The foods the monkeys eat depend
on where the monkey lives. For example: A monkey living in Florida might
eat oranges, and a monkey living in South America might eat things of trees
in the rainforest, like coconuts. A common food for monkeys is any type of
fruit, nuts, eggs, seeds, leaves, bamboo, insects and corn. Corn is
considered a treat to a monkey. Monkeys eat lots of the same stuff we do.

I would think you would feed them fruit, but I guess it depends on what kind of monkey it is. If its a very young monkey maybe it would eat human baby food.

Depends on how old it is and what type of monkey it is. You can buy it monkey chow and it should contain everything it needs, and then give it 2 fruits a day, doesnt matter what, they will eat mostly anything. Also, they are like humans and have to have a steady intake of Vitamin C, if they dont they can develop scurvvy.

ask your local vet or ring around some zoos i pretty sure depending on the age of the baby monkey it would have to have mothers milk or a formula especially designed for monkeys ask advice throu a zoo as giving a baby the wrong foods may kill it

A baby monkey will need formula. (a human formula can be a substitute but a vet should be consulted)The formula will have to be given to the baby every few hours just like a human. Its a huge responsibilty and should not be taken lightly.

If it is a very young monkey - try milk or pureed fruits like bananas.

Call your pet shop where you bought it, or a veterinarian. If that doesn't work. Call your zoo and talk to the people there.
