The Vervet Forest is a wildlife rehab series focused on Vervet Monkeys at the Vervet Monkey Foundation . The series showcases the process of taking orphaned and injured vervet monkeys through a foster mother program which helps these rescued orphan baby monkeys to be adopted by foster mother monkeys. The show is for fans of animal planet, nat geo, discovery and anyone who is an animal lover, loves animals and would like to be part of helping them get back to the wild.

*These animals are not pets they are rescued wildlife undergoing a rehabilitation program at the Vervet Monkey Foundation in South Africa*
These little guys and girls have NO CLUE how blessed, lucky and fortunate they are to have landed in the hands of THE VERVET MONKEY FOUNDATION.
Amen 🙏🙏🙏
Love watching these little bundles of fun, so glad I'm donating to help these little cuties
Those sweet babies are lucky to have an Uncle Floki. 💗😊
That little noise they make would be a great ringtone! You guys rock, God bless you at every turn!!!
Oh my what an idea!! I do believe you've done it!!
I loved it when Cupcake was trying to drink from the bottle and suck her thumb at the same time lol And when Floki was being like a protective big brother to the babies. They are all so sweet! 🤗💙
What beautiful babies. Thanks so much for all you do
Anxious to see little Dirkules progress! He's so tiny and cute.
Thank ‘ you ‘ so much for taking care of these cute little monkeys
Thank you Dave and Vervet Forest Team for another great video.
Thank you for this video ...I love it (and I have waited for it ) . You do a wonderful job and I want to hug all of you :) Cupcake is so cute and make me sit here and smile . Take care of you ...greetings from Sweden
Cupcake certainly has her own unique drinking style! I loved her little balancing act on the side of her food plate.
Baby Cupcake couldn't decide if he wanted his bottle or his thumb,they're all so precious...no matter the size/age❤😊
Floki is very smart and a great protector 😊❤
Why would anyone press the dislike button. They do a fantastic job looking after these orphans. If it’s because you don’t like monkeys don’t watch
Floki is such a smart and cute monkey kid!
Me encanta y disfruto mucho viendo todo vuestro trabajo y esfuerzo por salvar y luchar por la vida de los animales...Un mundo mejor gracias a personas como vosotros! !!!🌚🌚🌚🌅🌠💙
Il faudrai aussi qu ils interviennent, chez les familles qui ont adoptées 1petits singe,car beaucoup sont maltraités .voyez les videos
Omg that poor little hercules, it just breaks my heart
I am having cuteness overload. I think the people doing this work are remarkable! Thank you for taking care of these lovely creatures!
Question for y'all at the vervet foundation : Do the people that you receive the babies from ever come to see and watch the babies they and others have saved?? I wish there were sanctuaries with monkeys in my state (Colorado), I'd be there each n every day till it was my time to met my maker. Id probably be up n have them fed b4 anyone else woke up or showed up for work lol!!! Thank you to all of you that care for these babies because with you they get protection and reassurance! All of you there are some of the most beautiful and kind people and will join all others in heaven! God love you and sooo many of us watching these videos love you as well!!!
Indeed we do! Thank you for saying it for all of us!
Sometimes, most times the encounter is a fleeting moment and they have not spent much time with them
Dave mentioned the two-year-old boys are vasectomized. That would be the season one babies. It would be nice to see how they are doing. Mo, Merlin, Dylin, Stick, Elliot, Shamesh, Jeffery, Congo, Kobe and the other boys. I hope you show them, and the season one girls, too They were the first babies that I watched. Has anyone seen little Tony the bush baby?
We will try do updates but have honestly nobody spare that actually knows the monkeys, most staff have had to return home and due to closed borders no new staff or volunteers so we have not had the possibility of a hand over so new ones could learn the names, very tough at the moment
@@VervetMonkey why is Cupcake so bluish colored?
The monkeys in the bathroom 🤣😂 I wish i could com3 volunteer! Thank you 😊 you're doing amazing work
*Love Love Love the name "CupCake"..Lol!!* 🥰🥰🥰
A bitter sweet time...the babies are so cute to see, but sad that they need human help. Always appreciate your work and dedication!
I totally agree with everything you said. I would volunteer if I could but my health won't allow me to. Dolores Baryski aka white girl.
I love cupcake !! Precious baby
I am very impressed by Floky - he is a good babysitter...
Nice "PACKAGE" shot at 12:55 my man was ready for some action. 😂
Omg cupcake is gorgeous 😍
They are sure adorable. That little guy still seems itchy. So glad that they have you if they can't be with their moms.
I, too, noticed that the itching does not seem to have improved. Hope they find something to help - perhaps an oatmeal bath?
Floki should become the newest adopting mom...i think he'd make a great " Big Brother"
I just love this channel wish i could afford to donate cant right now but will soon
cupe cake has such a cute face...she looks like a little "princess"
💚💚💚
Punim, what are you telling? You can trust Floki - he can be your friend...
♥️♥️♥️
I love you Floki! ❤️❤️❤️
I ❤️ VMF!
😍😍😍
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍
I wish there was something like that here that I could volunteer for. But actually I'm glad there isn't in a good way. I love the little sounds they make like how to explain it umm that low cackle
There are many wildlife rescue centers in the US and many other countries, as well, and there are also "farms" which rescue and rehabilitate other kinds of animals in nearly every country. Watch Bondi Vet and associated programs - they care for everything! Even snakes and cattle and alligators and tiny furry critters - everything imaginable. Those programs might lead you to finding a rescue center in your country where you could begin by volunteering your services.
@@kratkyhomesteader9043 where I live it's mainly alligators I don't want to rehab a gator lol. We do have a really good zoo. I may look into after I finish school
11/19/20. Lovely
Must be not easy for the caregiver to let the babies go - after they liked and loved them all so much... Also for me as vidoe viewier I want to have them all as babies forever ( I am joking). Of course I am happy, when his orphans are growing well and have a a good life in the troop.
Good job with a home full of Vervets...they are just like a newborn human; but they grow fast and they are not pets...when I see video of someone with any monkey...well, like one has a 'program'...said she loved your channel and what you do; but then why did she get a baby monkey? The answer, in a nutshell, she could afford it. It was born in her country not brought in and she was giving it good care for a baby monkey. My answer is this..."so she encourages breeding in the countries that do; anyone think 'puppy mill'? You can afford it? Spend your money on projects like VMF! And, how does she know that what she is doing is for the monkey? The tiny diaper...for her, feed from bottle while holding and cooing...for her, give it tastes of things no monkey should eat, for her and possibly very bad for monkey..." Well, there's my rant for the day. Yawl do an awesome job and so do your VERVET FOSTER MOMs...I am still surprised by the process and how those Moms look excitedly at their choice of babies, every baby gets a mom (even little Vera)...
@ it's not being cynical, it's being educated and caring about the future of a wild animal. It's purely selfish to "own" a monkey.
I 100% agree with you guys. They belong in the wild and it is extremely selfish to keep 1 as a pet.
@ Agreed. They are selfish in not allowing the monkey to have a normal monkey life.
Perhaps we should suggest the reverse to them. Ask them what a perfect life they would have if they were adopted by a Vervet monkey, a hyena, a tiger or a camel. Remind them that the adoptive mothers would take the best, most loving care possible, teach them to live as perfectly as possible, give them the best they could of everything.
Remind them that the adopters have no understanding of what is considered the "best" life for a human, but are simply offering the best monkey or hyena or tiger or camel life they could IMAGINE!! Imagining a life another species would find desirable, no matter how hard one tried, would be a very poor substitute for what the human would find truly desirable.
Then ask them to just consider all this for a bit.
@@kratkyhomesteader9043 that's an awesome comparison. Unfortunately, most people don't consider how the animals would feel just like they don't consider the feelings of other people and just do what they want
@@catc6050 Yes, my point exactly. Well said.
I love vervet monkey they sooooo cute🐵🐒❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🌷🌷🌷🌷
I would love to be with you but I live in the north of Scotland in the United Kingdom great Britain 😊
I know the guys who are doing the videos now really try but Kyle's energy and personality make this show so much more entertaining. Since Kyle left the show so much more entertaining. Not to put down the other people Kyle does this like a nomal TV show. He needs to come back. They are the most adorable little creatures. I enjoy these very much
everyone has the own preference and opnion, unfortunaly Kyle's is not coming back in the near future, but there are alot of the video's he has made and there is no problem playing them over and oer again
Why did Floki need surgery on his right leg? What’s his back story?
I don’t blame her
That is the bluest skin baby I have seen yet! 🙂
Is it hard to become a volunteer? Especially from U.S? What are the steps or prerequisites to become a volunteer? I don't know why but I just love watching them drink and sleep. They are just like little human babies
Our borders are open to all so if you can get out of your country you can come
@@VervetMonkey The US suddenly is having an explosion of cases of the virus so it may be some time before we can leave conveniently, and you might not appreciate someone from here as they could bring the illness to your group, reducing even the number of local people able to work there. Horrible thought. I'm so sorry this is happening.
There are videos in the list which describe becoming volunteers, and the application forms are available there, as well. Simply scroll around and read what is available.
@@VervetMonkey that would be awesome at least for a little while at least.
12:49 is it normal to get blue and red down there??
yes
Will cupcake eventually have a black mask face too?
Yeah…looks like a really stressful gig…
yikes lol cupcake looks all of 5 minutes old
🐒🥰😘😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😇🙏🙏🙏
What kind of milk formula do monkeys need?
we use a soya milk based formula
So hard to see all the needs and not be able to come there and help, especially with a cutie like CupCake, or the baby that just arrived with story patently untrue. What must change in the visa or travel situation to permit you to be having the normal complement of volunteers? Apparently you have volunteer wannabees waiting in the wings - what will free them to join you? I pray it will come loose soon and you will have more funds and more hands.
Love these weekly videos of everything happening. That blessed Floki being the protector, though no doubt in a great deal of pain, and I do doubt he is on pain medications, sadly. Animals are not treated for pain in the much more casual way humans are. He is priceless. Hope he is adopted by someone very high ranking, and CupCake must surely be a princess among the queens!!!
Sir, I asked recently, but think I might have inadvertently deleted my post or otherwise did not post it appropriately - why was not any form of true milk chosen as the "milk" for the babies? Seems so odd that you elected to use soy rather than goat, cow, sheep, some or other "real" milk. I wondered last week if soy was used to help keep the males and perhaps females as well, from having strong sexual intentions earlier than most of them do, helping to prevent pregnancies prior to the surgically-determined impossibility of such an event.
They the same as humans so other animal milks are noy good for them, the soya milk formula is more acceptable and has less stomach and allergy problems.
Our borders are open to all so if you can get out of your country you can come
@@VervetMonkey Unfortunately my health would not permit, even if I had the money. Just wish I could - i'd probably just stay there forever and become a permanent fixture, even working up to staff as others have.
Thank you for your response on the soy milk. It seems here we always find a milk that works - for example very often goat's milk works for human babies who cannot take human or cow's milk, and one animal or another can donate for another animal's baby.
Obviously, the soy combination you are using is working extremely well for the baby Vervet orphans, so you have done then right thing!
Thank you again for your videos, and your responses, yours and Hana's, to my endless question!
is the monkey with the blue balls in pain? he looks swollen and I've never seen blue balls and a wiener that sprung into action over rain it looks painful, is that a medical condition? I was so shocked by it I had to rewind to make sure that's what I really saw.
Those blue testicles are important! One poor ex-pet was castrated and so cannot integrate because the other male monkeys would not tolerate him without them.
il a peur. et. il est très. maigre. !!!!
Is it because you feed them regularly that they are less apt to pack their cheeks where they are bulging. Or is it only the macquacs that stuff their cheeks to the point of bulging?
yes it would be competition of the nice food
@@VervetMonkey TY. The more I get to know these 2 species of monkey's the more I feel like I missed my professional calling in life.
About how old is Floki?
I would assume previouse seasons baby so just over a year possibly
Is cupcake actually getting any milk out of the bottle? Hard to tell!! I know you guys are watching her, though!
It's almost as if she likes her thumb better than the nipple. She is so sweet.
@@tngrandma242 she is adorable!!
@@barbarageorge7848 I am far too old now to travel to South Africa to volunteer, but wouldn't it be wonderful to be sitting there and have those sweet babies climb into your lap. I would so love to give a cuddle.
@@tngrandma242 I’d be there in a second!! I’m looking for somewhere closer to home to help any primate sanctuary! I believe there’s one in Louisiana. And I think it’s chimpanzees. Those little Vervets though, have stolen my heart!!
Is Kyle not volunteering this season? I haven’t seen him!
@@barbarageorge7848 He wasn't there last baby season either. I am so grateful to him for starting these videos and to Dave for carrying them on. I adore the Rhesus Macaque babies that Arroz Marisco and JW film outside Hong Kong too.
I definitely would pay to volunteer there but the pandemic is raging here in the states and I'm not too keen eating Vegan but that's an easy fix I assume
Is Floki getting some physical therapy?
Yes
Is Kyle no longer with VMF?!
No
@@VervetMonkey well, I hope he’s well! You guys are awesome, regardless! ❤️
he seems to be doing well and has managed to get a job although not in the film industry
@@VervetMonkey wonderful to hear! Thank you! And continue doing your amazing work! 💜
Why do you let the monkey's walk on their food then Then they it
Its not a point of letting thyem, they do, its also important for there gut flora that they ingest variouse things from the area this builds up ther immunity
If the monkeys were disciplined for living a life normal to them, would it then be a normal life for them? Or would it be the "normal" life we imagine for them, the life we demand they live because it seems appropriate to us?
If that were the right thing to do, put diapers on the babies because it is inconvenient to clean up after the babies which urinate or pass solid waste on the care-giver's clothing and on the floors which must then be cleaned up by the care-givers.
@@kratkyhomesteader9043 Yet again, an excellent response! All the best!
Are you castrating the males or a vasectomy!???
vasectomy
