Excellent information...i am so glad you provided honest info for people out there who might consider it
I’m so considering it my dad said yes!!!!!!
Gabby Garcia your dad may not have a real perspective on this. Does he know a monkey can live up to 30yrs ? Is your dad happy to build an outside enclosure like the one in this film ? What will you do when it reaches maturity, and becomes less of a baby and far more aggressive ?
Get yr dad to do lots of research on the net before spending thousands on something that doesn’t work for any of you !
@@GabbyGaRcIa_TripleG I'm addition to what Inspiral Mediums talked about there are some other major issue you and your dad should consider. Obviously you are school age so who is going to care for him while you are in school? He cannot be left alone during the time you are at school so someone would definitely have to be with him 24/7. The problem with getting one while you are so young is is it going to be your monkey or your parents? They live 25-35 years and during that time you will experience many major life changes... college, romantic relationships, working, possibly having children, moving out on your own etc. Not to mention all the unexpected things life throws at us. Do you think you are going to still be able to provide around the clock care and attention through all of that? Some of those other things will definitely take priority over a pet and you someone has to be responsible for a monkey all that time. You will feel differently when those things arise...it's like being tied down with a 2 year old that will never grow up for the next 30 years! That's a lot of poop diapers to change. Even if you are 10 or 12 years old a monkey will live until you are 40 or 46 years old...
@@GabbyGaRcIa_TripleG monkeys also cost a lot to buy... anywhere from $3500-$12,000 ...not to include extremely hi vet bills, food, enclosures, toys, enrichment, diapers, etc. Do you even live somewhere that it is legal? Where do you live?
Gina Powell my mom is gonna take care when I’m at school
I don't have any interest in having a monkey but I like your message and I believe your heart is in the right place.
You have my support,
KEEP SPREADING THE KNOWLEDGE!
Susan Munford
Thank you so much
Ty For your Honesty about monkeys, i enjoy Awesome Monkey Owners like yourself. I have no Desire to own a Monkey i Enjoy watching Videos from wonderful monkey owners as yourself!!
Actually an honest person
Edit: thank you for the heart
I'm so glad you are so honest with everybody! Thank you for that!
I'm really glad you made this because I thought a pet monkey would be like what you said in the beginning--getting to go everywhere and cuddle everyone. People conveniently tend to forget that monkeys are...well, monkeys.
Thank you for this video!!! I know how important it is to know everything you can before getting an exotic pet. I have an Umbrella Cockatoo Parrot and I give the same advice to people who say they want to get one for themselves. I usually say "No you don't" and then tell them what they will be required to do to keep the bird healthy and happy (and Cockatoos can live 60 - 80 years) It's a full-time job for the rest of your life these animals are extremely smart (just like monkeys) and need attention 4 -6 hours a day. if they don't get it They will scream (they can wake the dead) they destroy everything that means anything to you and or hurt themselves or get sick. That being said they are also very affectionate and will bond with you for life ........anyway I just think it very good advice that you have given, I agree with everything you said .
BirdmanandPrincess
Thanks man . Love to see some videos of him . I used to have a double headed yellow amazon . We had such a strong bond . I had him 35 years before he caught a lung disease
And had to be put down . Oh how I miss him . I love animals . They bring so much joy to my life . Thanks
Those cages are great! He has room to play, and looks like he’s having a great time! 🐒
should see all the new cage and encloser now
Room to play? They're meant to live in a forest with trees, grass, rocks, and a troop of other monkeys. Believe me, he's not having a great time. He's looking for a way out of that tiny cage.
They are fantastic pets but not for me. They require hard work and that is not for me. I am lazy so for me cats are perfect. They are intelligents and independents. I love my cat and he gets all he needs but I don't need to do it 24/7. Good to see you take care of this adorable little monkey so well. 🤩🤩🤩
im lazy too but not so lazy that ill avoid things in life i want.. like a pet monkey like this i can tske yo the park on weekends and spend all day there with a monkey thatll have more loyalty than an actual person.
You can't compare a monkey with a cat ! A monkey is basically a baby human that stays baby throughout his life!
John Dough monkey is dangerous to strangers and the older they get they will live to survive and not for you. Fir typical for a wild animal. Dogs have been domesticated for thousands of years genetically manipulated to be extremely devoted to their human master,

Hi :) I have been watching your channel for - gosh- almost two years or more. I have had my monk for about 18 months now and WOW how I love my monk baby. You're right they are not for everyone. Seriously, the ease at which people tell me they want one is scary sometimes. These guys are time intensive, need hands on care, consistent and constant interaction/attention/play/affection. With that said, I watched your video before I picked up Guapo so I kind of knew what I was in for hahaha. Best decision I ever made though. He is my amazing monk boy and I love him so very much. :) Love watching Chico (and u). Happy New Year Lola.
Chico the monkey - I appreciate your video and explaining that monkeys can be good pets as well as not. People ought to research any pet they are thinking of taking into their homes be it a dog, cat, turtle, rabbit, monkey or whatever because each animal has their different needs - even among the different breeds. Thank you.
Dr. donna Walter
You are correct . Thank you
Very informative I'm currently trying to talk my freind out of buying one of these wonderful animals as he hasn't a clue how much hard work they are he thinks it's going to be easy, also your accent is awesome.
Very informative
Thank You
Very good video; interesting and informative. I hope people see your video before they get a monkey and realize why it's not a good idea. Thank you!
I had a squirrel monkey when I was a pre-teen. Chi-Chi was amazingly smart but could be a handful. I enjoyed her for the short time that I had her. One evening, she was making a lot of noise so I took her and her cage and put it in a different room. I didn't notice that the house window was open and sadly, she developed the flu. The vet couldn't do much for her. I tried to nurse her back to health to no success. Looking back, I realized that even though she was cute and fun to play with, she was not a pet for me. Thank-you for sharing your insight!
I have a question since u were a preteen...didn’t you go to school, also how was that
Omg I totally agree with you!!
Great video . Was going to get one . But now changed my mind . Thanks to you
What a great owner you are!🥰
Very goods exclamations.💯🐒
I have had pet rats for 35 years. I know everything and anything about having destroyed my house...
gnawing cables, stealing milk by poking a hole into the can, destroy my clothes in the cabinet, building nests in the magazine holder, carry everything halfway palatable to a bunker spot, throw everything on the floor thats not glued, rip the tapestry off the walls..... So I maybe make a good monkey mother.
Thank you, sincerely.
Great Video!
Nice brother.. you have good heart.thank you for sharing for your knowledge.. peace
Great info. I love to see a good knowledgeable caring pet owner. Especially for monkeys, so many people think they can handle it, it's not as bad as these people make it seem, I can do it but they're not being realistic at all. LISTEN THESE MONKEY OWNERS THEY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT!!! This is only one of three different monkey channels that you can tell are completely honest about caring for a monkey and that do it right!
I want to address your last comment. You said Pete, the owner of MonkeyBoo "knew what he was talking about" and "dedicated his entire life to Capuchins" that is ABSOLUTELY not true. There is a group of us on TH-cam who are dedicated to animal conservation and Pete is one of the worst people I have ever encountered online..... For one he is completely ignorant and insists Boo isn't a wild animal, he had Boo neutered and had his canines removed, which is trying to make him something he isn't......He has attacked me, Gozer, and gets his "fans" to gang up on people who don't agree with monkeys being pets. The worst part is he constantly slanders my friend Kari Bagnall the founder of Jungle Friends......if you want to meet someone who has dedicated her life to saving monkeys this is the a prime example of that. She gave up a career as a successful interior designer and now runs the largest New World Monkey Sanctuary in North America, while living in a small trailer on site. Pete sells Boos "drawings" and anything he can to make money off Boo.
The only people who "do it right" are the ones, like Kari, who let them be monkeys.
Does Chico like baths?
Nevermind - usually i read thru other comments b4 commenting but didn't that time. I just saw the bath video, & good job :)
A 2 year old on speed is what I call my lemurs.
you have lemurs?
@@meeachael627 we have 9 in our rescue.
How is having a lemur I was going to take my friends lemur as she can’t care for him right now due to the pandemic and it’s still a baby but I haven’t done the most research on them mostly know about squirrel monkeys and capuchins
@@codysanders3903 we have 10 lemurs 7 which are rescues. Any baby under 2 - 3 years old will be ok. But after 3 it may take years to bond with them. If ever. We have 1 that adores my husband but hates me. Make sure they are legal were you live and make sure you spend a lot of time with him. Most ringtails are bi-polar. My first one will kiss and 2 minutes later bite me. All our habitats are set up to feed and water without going inside. Several of them have stories of attacking their owner and they are strong with all sharp teeth. @thetexashousewreckers
@@codysanders3903 if she is in Texas we will take her lemur till she is able to take care of him again. But she will need to visit and keep her bond. Same if you take him she needs to keep her bond.
Subscribed Chico..you were recommended by Monkey Lillian, my favourite monkey channel...very interesting video...
Anjay Jackson
Aww thanks so much
Michael Poggi is not a breeder.
Please give correct info.
He is a broker. He buys from breeders and resells them. He doesn’t know anything about monkeys and he lies constantly. Don’t believe me? ASK A REAL BREEDER.
ADM W someone’s mad
k then tell me a actual breeder
Having that outdoor cage as well your monkey couldn't be cared for any better the best I have seen on TH-cam. I can't watch the ones where they have their monkeys in diapers etc...
They need so much space and time.
I try to share how hard it it to keep and their requirements
Brother where did u get it how much
Great video goof infp my friend
Regards
Steve London UK
I love the way he squeeks.
Great video👍
Amazing information! Everybody needs to know their not pets, they are a massive responsibility! They are your family they are there for a lifetime, you don’t have them and then they like die 4 years later, you have them again for nearly a lifetime.
Like you said u have to have a MASSIVE knowledge about them!
Also are you from Wales? If u r I am too, but if not u r from the uk, I can tell by the accent lol 😂💜
Picsart Editz
Thanks . And your correct I’m from wales . They say I have a strong welsh accent lol . Thanks again
Chico the monkey your so welcome!! And yes I’m exactly the same, I’m only 12 and have a really strong welsh accent, I’m from South Wales
thank you. ....شكرا
Good info 👌
Adorable Monkey
I’m never getting a monkey but I want to watch this for some reason
Brill video, I will be getting a marm and can’t wait x
Monkeys, no matter the flavor can be taught to not bite, it just has to be done when they are tiny babies.
As for the disagreeable behavior. Well of course if you let it run loose, the same is true for a human child!
If you want a well mannered monkey, it must be on a 6 foot long leash attached to you or some other human, at all times when it is out of its cage. Monkeys learn by imitation and unless they are right with you, they can't see what you do and imitate you.
You have one?
Thank you sir
Monkeys are not pets
Looks like a pet to me
Mr. Perfect 1%er cuz it is
@@brosamabs1144
👍
Nice video he is cute I like marmoset monkeys
Taking wild animals from the wild and having them caged is animal abuse. Let this beautiful creatures live free
Very helpful and honest! Since he’s bonded to you, what happens when you leave for a few hours or all day?
yea when I leave him he starts calling. if I don't answer after a while, then he knows I'm gone out. my daughter is very good with him.so she and my son keeps him occupied .
This video was helpful. I’m not going to get a monkey now. Way too much work. Your monkey is really cute.
Thank you so much
No more work than parrots. They’re like having a toddler on crack. They will live VERY long lives. We expect our macaw to live approximately 80 to 100 years. If you patient and caring you can do it
Do you have a TH-cam channel on your macaw . I love them use to have a African grey and a double yellow headed Amazon parrot . They are amazing
Chico the monkey sadly I don’t have video of them on u tube. Was advised to not put videos of them there. There seems to be a lot of parrots disappearing from people’s homes. As Manta Blue & Gold is valued at $5000. Because for her vocabulary and she’s only 19. Oliver (Patagonian), they would pay me to return him to us. He’s a real biter unless he knows you. He’s 21. I would really like to have a macaque. Female preferred.
@@ChicothemonkeyChicothemonkey I live in rural florida, its easier to have a small monkey here than in the big cities from what i heard.
It’s great that you give all the information about having them, so they don’t end up getting rehomed. I’m getting a Marmoset monkey in a few months. 🐒
They are small and great. Spend a lot of time with them. And they will love u.
Chico the monkey Oh, I plan on it! I reached out to breeders a couple of days ago and got a good idea of the base cost, and am saving up for one now. Hopefully by Christmas my sweet baby will be here. I’m always home, and if I do go anywhere, I”ll just take her with me🐒🍼🐒🍼
idk if i wanna save up for a squirrel monkey for a marmoset monkey i just love them both so much
Please help guide the immature woman on "Hanging with Max" she lost one monkey and is threatening to get a squirrel monkey!!
The seller took back the monkey and rightly so. It was illegal where she lives and she made every mistake in the book.
Yes! Glad I'm not the only one thats seen that sad channel! Shes the worst owner. I thought she said someone stole Max and gave him to a sanctuary or some bs story... she went to court about it and lost. Lol. There is justice in this world! Lol. Now if only we can petition for her not to get another monkey!
Make sure you know your laws on owning a primate also
@@jamiebracy2908 FWIW, it is legal to own a primate where she lives. I think that part of the issue was that the apartment complex didn't know about Max and probably took issue with them having a monkey. I don't know that for sure, but from what she said in a couple of vids I would bet that was a contributing factor. She most likely also didn't have a license to own him. I saw a lot of issues. Wanting a pet monkey is fine, but owning one and taking care of it for the rest of its life is something completely different, and often time new owners are shocked by the amount of time and care it takes - as well as money - to raise one. As a result, sadly, these end up being neglected and abused, until they're either killed or released into the public. It's a commitment that should be researched FULLY before purchasing one. Monkeys are not a dog or a cat. I saw a monkey that was bored and looking to get into a lot of stuff.
I'm concerned about their moving, probably thinking it will go better in the new state, but once again, I have a sinking feeling that things won't be any better for this new squirrel monkey she wants to get and has put a deposit on. I think there was a lot more going on behind the scenes than any of us realized.
Enrjyzr B Thank you so much for the information about that poor little Monkey Max. I was just sick about that crazy narcissistic girl who neglected that little baby from the very beginning and it just got worse!! I remember in the very beginning, at night she would stick him in his cage all night in a separate room, and would go on and on how he slept all night. Interpretation: she and her little man slept all night, didn’t bother to get up and feed the baby at night and he didn’t get changed or fed until she decided to haul her lazy butt up! That is just one thing with a million to follow! Thank u sooooo much for updating me on what truly happened! I pray she will never get another. If there is a petition going around please send it my way! Thank you, Cyndie
CD 1 I have seen her channel she doesn’t kno what she’s doing.
Hey great information, what if you have to leave the country for few day for any reason.... is there any service In Uk that offer to look after your pets ?
How are they with kids do they attack kids?
What if you make a really big play pen for them outside, with a tree, and keep them on a big enough leash that they can just use the entire back yard almost?
With leash they tangle up very quick. And can be dangerous.
Big enclosure with a heated box.
I think you speak for a lot of different types of monkeys, not just spider monkeys . A monkey is a monkey and your comments are very helpful for someone considering having a monkey as a pet.
Chico the monkey ? squirrel monkey would make a good service pet for the disabled if they was more domesticated. They have hands unlike a dog, they can get items for you etc.
Wow thanks that was very interesting. Can I ask you a couple of questions?
Awesome vid man great info!! Does it ever bite or scratch and if so could they cause serious injuries?
yes they can bite .and it hurts .but that's due to it being frightened by something. but as time goes they learn not to. when he play bites it doesn't hurt, he is really gentle, they never scratch.
I have snakes and that's the first question people ask so I was really curious about your answer. It's handy information. What I tell people is there's always a chance your cat or dog could bite you and I take the same risk with my snakes. It's not something I focus on because I love them. 🙂 Great video
How aggressive do they get in the teenage years?
If not controlled then they can get aggressive. This is where the owner needs experience.
So in your opinion
A marmoset would be a better option
For a novice?
Marmosets are very hard. They can touch a cold sore and it will kill them asap. Squirrel Monkeys are the ones they recommend for beginners.
wow you are amazing. thanks so much glad i found this channel.. was wondering is he always leash up or no .. and can we watch him eating some times.. amazing i did subscribe to your channel.. thanks alot :)
Michelle Morningstar
Thank you . When he is out his enclosure . I takes the leash off . And only put it on him when he is out in public . Or . To keep him safe . They are an predicable . As they are wild animal deep inside .
Dude you said while you are making crack 😂
He sure did, by mistake.
Hey, it's my dream to be able to have my own sanctuary of multiple exotic animals. And i am totally willing to give up my entire life to take care of them but i need money to do so. So i was just wondering, how would i be able to get the money without having to get a job that forces me to stay long periods of time away from the animals??
He’s cute!
I don’t want my pet to rip my face off and eat me 😟 after hearing the 911 call I told myself i will just get a dog or ferret
what 911 call?
wasn't that from a chimpanzee
@@thesilentalien6713 yea it was
@@thesilentalien6713 those are considered apes like gorillas not Monkeys. Big difference in size.
In the early 70s Spider monkeys were a dime a dozen. Everyone buying them. Sad as most were let loose and or died. My own mom had one gifted from my dad when they were first married. Mom said the monkey was jumping on the curtain rods and knocking shit down and masterbation is the worst part. Constantly masterbating. She had hers for 2 weeks and they brought to the Zoo in New Orleans thankfully she knew a worker there and they signed it over. Apparently many wound up there to the point they were over populated. We are a strange species anyway to think we can tame and cuddle with wild animals. I respect animals more than most people.
Hi can I know what do monkeys eat like for a daily life ?
The answer is NO! They belong in the trees with their own kind seeking mates and raising offspring NOT A FKING CAGE!
ik this was a long time ago, where did you get your monkey?
They’re so adorable, but I don’t think they should ever be pets.They are very intelligent and have a lot of the same actions and feelings that humans have, but they are not humans! They are wild animals & should be left in the wild! There are many reasons why we shouldn’t have them as pets, but I believe the main reason is, because of the explosion of the monkey trade! They (poachers) hunt down these innocent creatures & rip the babies from their mothers to sell online, & then sell the mothers to research labs where most of them live a slow & agonizing death. Or maybe forced to work on a coconut farm. They beat them & keep them on chains & force them to climb up the trees to pick the coconuts, & then make them jump from tree to tree, which is very dangerous for them. They’re also used as entertainment, like street performing. They force them to learn to walk like humans, by keeping them chained in a standing position, with their feet barely touching the ground & their hands tied behind their back.They’re being hung like this for countless hours a every day until they are broken, and will do anything to keep from being tortured . And that’s just the beginning of their miserable life as a slave for mans greed!They’re being used in so many other horrible evil ways, and a lot of people don’t realize they are supporting these sick & twisted things. This has just got to stop! Please help to make the abuse of these beautiful animals stop! Don’t buy them, or support them in any way. Help make this known to everyone you can! Speak out & report it when you see it!
he said hes making crack
😂 I heard that also
Lol he got his professions mixed up.
It's UK slang or terminology.
Holy balls the beard! 👌

Sir. Nyoki soo lyng ❤❤❤❤
I had a spider monkey he’s right but now a green vervet or rhesus monkey have completely different personalities
Wow love to have a spider monkey. Yes they are so cleaver
How do you go to work with him at home do you leave him in the larger enclosure?
Yea I have few cage and enclosure for him .its dangerous to leave them out in house unattended.
@Chico the monkey ... do you have a link to where we can buy that cage? ty
I'll have a look for you.
In the wild the live in troups. shouldn't they be kept in multiples?? Those Cicco live in this little cage??
Is it ok to put diapers or clothes on a squirrel monkey or marmoset? I've seen them worn on other breeds of monkeys but never these two. Great video by the way I learned a lot thank you!!
I only put dipaer on hi. When he is out the cage. So he don't pee or.... On the furniture lol
Hey so I got a pet marmoset and I couldn’t help myself and picked him up and now he’s terrified of me😩 any tips to make him trust me again
Figure out what behavior caused him to fear you if you hit him it will never trust you completely again anyways my advise would be to move slow with him and give them time I have macaques and my male he became aggressive and it took over a year before I could handle him again
Where did u buy ur monkey
I want a capuchin monkey but idk if they are legal in Oklahoma
Oklahoma is a legal state but check your local county and city.
where did you buy the monkey from in the uk?
I have a friend that breeds them . But won’t sell to anyone
@@ChicothemonkeyChicothemonkey oh ok thank you brother
Looks like he got to the picture frame before this video (top right)

How do you even catch it
Good to hear but I don't want no pet monkeys, I don't care for them and I barely have patience for dogs and cats, I prefer them cuz there meant for pets not these monkeys
Iv been looking and i cant find a good breeder just lots of scams if you could let me no would be grate thank you
He had a female last month but sold. 8k
MashaAllah bro
Jazakallah khair my brother
Cannot be left alone. They live in very large groups in the wild.

Please buy link
Who was the breeder u said
Love your video! Do you recommend male or female for first time monkey owners??
from what ive been reading a female is better bcuz males are usually more agreesive when they reach maturity
It does not matter what advice you give, people still kidnap them and sell them. These kind of squirrel monkey's you can find only in South America and my heart breaks thinking about how they are separated from their families. They do not belong in a cage and you put him in a cage.
Were do you buy them
Miles Connors
Check online . Don’t give any money in advance . Till you have the money or see it first . Too many scammers
Where do u buy them from?
Need to locate a breeder . In your area check online
Appreciate it so muchhhhhh that you were completely honest Now im 1,000,000% sure that I want a monkey😁😁

@@ChicothemonkeyChicothemonkey do they carry any diseases? And if so,how do you keep yourself safe from catching it from your monkey?
When I was a kid, you could mail-order a squirrel monkey for $19.95 from an ads in comic books. The ads were shamelessly misleading:
www.cbc.ca/radio/undertheinfluence/mail-order-monkeys-other-crazy-comic-book-ads-1.4536179
It's a good thing $19.95 was a lot of money for a kid back then. There are some hilarious stories on the internet about kids that ordered them. The "free cage" was just a tiny box with a mesh window and the animals would arrive in a terrorized state.
Remember folks this is one guy's opinion people have monkeys all over the world that never even see their owners and they're perfectly fine anyway I wanted to ask this guy as far as foods go I like to change up my monkey's food I give my monkey pork chops for dinner sometimes and we have them also bacon when I have bacon in the morning do you ever give your monkey bacon? My monkey loves bacon it eats a lot of bacon
