I know how there is a lot of you out there who think keeping a primate is wrong, I disagree. I think that if you can provide a primate a good home plenty of attention, affection, a large area to play, run, and swing, and if you have the money to provide it with everything it needs then no I dont see a problem here. I was here reading a question someone posted about "CHEAP" formula for a capuchin.. I strongly agree this person should not have this animal that they can not provide for it and if they can not afford formula then they are probably not being able to provide very well for themselves. There is no "CHEAP" formula. Baby Capuchins should be on Enfamil infant formula and also extra vitamins to get the nutrients they need. I was asked a question that I really did not know the answer to the other day. If getting a monkey from a good breeder and it is vet checked and passed can it still pass diseases to us humans and if so what kind?and where do they get the diseases? Anyone know?

i think owning a monkey would be great fun they would be cute and cuddly very friendly creatures they are! i would go to the vet and get him all his shots that way there isn't a high risk of diseases but i would still be weary of his mouth and lower region if you catch my drift!

monkeys carry around a lot of diseases.. and they will turn on you.. i was reading something online about a lady who had a capuchin and it turned on her and beat the crap out of her. its bit her scratched her and threw things at her.
