9 Reasons why Monkey's are AWFUL PETS! - My Experience

- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- So if you didn't see the story of us collecting this guy, he's a common marmoset which is legal to own in the UK unfortunately.
It was a bit of a rescue mission & we've had him about 6 weeks now.
I thought that monkey's didn't make great pets beforehand but after my experience with them I wouldn't recommend them for anyone.
I'm super excited to see this guy go to the Monkey Haven in the Isle of Wight and looking forward to seeing how he gets on. :)
I would love to own my own sanctuary for abandoned/mistreated exotic animals in the future so subscribe to follow the journey as we go.

I'm glad you made this video. I seriously considered getting a monkey about 10 years bc I was fortunately able to give it care 24/7 UNTIL I deep dived in & researched what it took to care for them. The TWO reasons I quickly changed my mind is:
1. The way they RIP THE BABIES OUT OF THE MOTHER'S ARMS!
(They cry for each other for about a year.) Women need to think how they would feel if their baby was taken from them a day or two after giving birth. Any woman would be inconsolable. Well so are the Monkeys. Mom AND baby!
2. It's NOT fair to the baby monkey. They need to be around their own kind. Would a human like to be raised by anything other than humans?! Sorry for my long comment. People need to know.
You just made an argument for not owning cats and dogs too. Try again noob.
@@TheWhisperingPenis .......It took thousands of years for dogs to become domesticated. Science shows it would take at least that long to domesticate monkeys. Once pet monkeys become sexually mature they are given up to sactuaries because humans can no longer handle them. Dogs & cats are not given up when they sexually mature. I am very well educated on the topic of monkeys & studied them for years. I respect your opinon even though you don't know what I do know. FYI, I am not a dog or cat owner a the present time. This video has nothing to do with cats or dogs. You're talking about 3 different species. So please take your whispering penis & tell it your opinons as its apparently able to talk back to you! At least you have something to conversate with. Have a blessed day.
Your absolutely right.
Amen!!!
I get what you mean and are right but I would like to point out that we are there kind people are primates. But yea monkeys are adorable but should not be pets.
I’m an exotic and wildlife veterinarian who has a nonhuman primate as a furry family member. I can appreciate ALL reluctance to have any exotic pet or even a human child because it’s NOT for everyone. This owners experience is a cautionary tale and not the average.
“They need a specialist diet!” … consisting of human knees, Tommy Hilfiger sweat pants, computer chairs etc 🤣🤣🤣
I like how yer still on the first tamer reasons of why not to get a monkey and the monkey just skips right to "YEAH DON'T FORGET MONKEYS BITE!"
He's chewing and biting because they eat tree sap, that's what he's searching for
Nobody SHOULD EVER get a wild animal, monkey for a pet. E.V.E.R. Not “some people”. NO PEOPLE.
Shut it Karen and get right back to the laundry RIGHT NOW
ok karen
Everyone should take this to heart.
Lame

Right you are. These poor animals....
When I was kid neighbors had 4 smaller ones. They keep 2 in a cage while 2 ran free and they reverse it everyday. As kids we teased the couple in cage. Male and female. One day the 2 we teased were out of cage. The female jumped and landed on chair arm. I went to scratch her back she let out a scream and here come the male flying across room and landed right on my shoulder with paws full of my hair. I'm trying to get it off,owners all laughing hard as they could and had this small child scared to death. He drew blood on my knuckle when I was trying get him off me.
That was over 50 years ago
Imagine having a chimp as a pet! Just look what Travis did to Charla!
Real eye opener. Came across the video and it enforced the wild animals, period, should not be pets.
Not a chimp
That was an exceptional case....Travis was out of his mind on Xanax and highly unpredictable...
It didn't help everything that changed around him that he didn't understand...plus giving Xanax to a animals, I'm not a vet, but Geeez...the side affects.. like I said the lost of a the male role ..no outings..yall read the story.. a wild animal in its full growth will go throu stages that ppl may NOT understand/ be ready for... just saying. U Don't gotta B a Vet/ genious to figure somethings out...
The owner of Travis gave him a Xanax pill. It was the o owners fault she didn't lock his cage good. Xanax changes you.
You’re an animal lover, that’s easy to tell. You want the best for this little guy. Good of you for letting people know that ‘buying’ a monkey- of ANY kind just shouldn’t happen. Monkeys are wild animals- they aren’t domesticated! So Thank You!!😉👍🏽
Many aré Domesticated already, Like the Pig-Tail Monkey, the hybrid (Kind of Spider monkey,) they aré very smart, they can be domesticated, till the point you say to yourself, this Is part human!
Is proved that this kind of monkeys aré part Human.
I wouldnt want one for a gold clock.hed be better in something like a zoo were he can join a troop .the chance of disease is another concern .
I think you've made agood choice. To go to a mo key zoo.😮
Do you have any pets?
@@miriambaquet6414all monkeys are wild. Just because they might have been born in captivity doesn't make them domesticated. They still maintain their wild instincts.
@@breeinatree4811 exactly, no such thing as a domesticated monkey. ‘Hybrid’ domestic monkeys are like ‘teacup’ pigs; they don’t actually exist, it’s just a name that matches what people want.
It was good that you recognised this early on. A lot of owners would just keep them as pets, regardless of the damage it does to the marmoset. Thanks for the video. It was so sweet to see him being relocated to the sanctuary.
Experts don't not recommend to have such species of monkeys, they are not solitary and need same species company. Having 2 of them would be ok but would need to be mostly outside. You are making the correct decision taking him/her to the Zoo.
The reason for the aggression is he's lonely....Monkeys never do well alone...any breed is used to companionship and will grow aggressive and go insane due to the lack of a friend. Look it up.
Keeping monkeys should be banned all over the world.
And baby mama said they also get bored very easily and very quickly if you don't keep them entertained
Monkeys are nasty animals. I would never own one
I have a marm ant he is not nasty he loves baths he's a wonderful pet. He wears diapers he doesn't bite me. He loves cuddles. You and this guy don't know what your talking about.
@@monkeyjax3422 Agree! Same with my sweet Apollo. Also, he smells like baby shampoo.
You couldn't pay me to get a monkey..they're cute as heck...in a ZOO! No way! Gross! And they're nasty.
I don't think any monkey is cute
Well you could pay me to take care of certain monkeys, but certain others (chimps chimps CHIMPS JFC NO TY) never and no how XD;;
@@kymo6343 They're all the same.
@@Sirianstar10 In some ways perhaps, but the size of the beast can certainly factor how much damage they can do.
@@kymo6343 Yes but even the little ones can tear your flesh up!
Good video! One important thing you left out is the changing of diapers. I heard it could be several times a day. Id never want to do such. Also I'm in the USA and vets charge enormous prices.I agree they should be left with their mom's in the wild.
Thank you so much for making this video! Moneys shouldn't be pets. Thank you for caring for him and loving him as much as you do. But, most people can not give them the life they truly need and are very overwhelmed after buying them. They can live up to 30 years or more! The monkey trade will never stop and the poor babies will keep getting ripped away from their mothers as soon as their born. They are very social and need to live with other monkeys. Having no special bonds or cared by their mother and other monkeys, they get mentally, emotionally and physically sick bc no milk from mother which gives them no immune system so they always gets sick and even end up dieing. They become mean and aggressive as well. If people truly cared for these amazing little creatures, we would stop paying money for them so the cruel poachers will have no need to catch and steal them. As monkey owner, hopefully you will explain to people why they shouldn't have pet monkeys. You know first hand why and give great advice. Here's a great video of why you shouldn't have monkeys as pets. Thanks for taking the time to read my comment. ruclips.net/video/W6O8bv5LXzw/видео.html
One problem I clocked straight away is you encourage behaviour you don't like lol, when he's biting your leg & scratching pulling chair etc, your stroking him talking gentle lol that's encouraging lol.
He's new to him so now wouldn't be the time to correct that.
pft but yeah monkeys doing that kinda thing is why they're not great pets like he's saying XD
@@kymo6343it's why noobs shouldn't own one. A dog will bite if you don't give it boundaries too. Stop being a noob?
@@TheWhisperingPenis Only a noob at life would wanna get a monkey u noob. Or yeah if you really want you CAN force a wild animal to live with you and behave completely against its nature and punish/torture it if it doesn't do what you say and live out any other of your darkest and most primitive desires... Just don't expect most people to not think that's disgusting and reprehensible.
@@catwoman2596Wanna bet? You see how fast mom reacts to bad behavior in nature? They learn real quick what's expected!
I don't understand a word you are saying because the sound is bad.
Good you are giving him to a zoo. Wildlife are no pets. So so sad for all the trafficked animals 😓
Well it takes a ton of patience and you have to spend a lot of time with them also it's a commitment definitely not for anyone but some people yes others no
firstly, apparently they bite. Wild animal. Not pet. really the best reason not to get one. I don't think an intelligent person needs 9 reasons.
LOL I noticed that quite quickly as well! XD
Marmosets smell other larger breeds don’t
Get tree branches for him to chew on. Its the stuff under the bark they eat. Find out what kind of trees.
Where do you actually get them from then if you’re in the UK?
I thought about getting a pet marmoset. Took about an hour of research on to figure out how bad an idea It is for about 98% of people including my self to own one. DON'T,JUST, DON'T
They are monkeys! Totally out of any form of human control !
Hes biting your pants cause he thinks its tree bark.
He wouldn't have these behaviors, if he had a proper environment. It's too cluttered and not geared towards his needs for habitat
Facts. These behaviors are also the result of boredom which is very mentally depressing for a monkey especially in a home without companions or living in an environment that’s clearly not suited
This monkey was here with this awesome man just as a temporary thing, a partial rescue if you like. Don’t criticise, he’s trying to help
He's criticizing monkeys as pets when he himself is not set up to properly take care of one. They are not dogs and cats they have very specific needs and like everyone who is not getting their basic needs met they get a bit unruly. Just because you claim to be the monkeys rescue and are not really equipped to take care of it doesn't make it a bad pet it makes you a poor owner.
Yes, it belongs in the wild. Not in his human home!
looks like he's trying to forage....I am not expert but they try to pull bark off trees and strip grasses an things
Monkeys should be in the Wild with their own kind! Its just cruel to keep them captive.
That face!!!! ❤🥰
So did u ever Rehome him ?
As long as a person has the proper training, is mature and stable. Young people need to stay away from them. They don't have the patience and are selfish when it comes to the 24/7 care that they need. Even me at 64. It would be alot of time given to one.
You can’t train a monkey unfortunately. Training it and trying to correct it has proven that it’s insulting a monkeys intelligence and wild nature, which is why in turn they become more aggressive and unpredictable
@@whitneythompson8698 Exactly. Even old people with time on their hands should stay away from wild/exotic pets bc they are not trained or tamed, they are just traumatized into attempting to act how they hope to get rewarded and not punished/harassed for...
No one should own these animals no matter what age. They belong in the wild with their troop, not cooped up in someone's house that's too selfish to think about the best environment for the monkey and only care about what they want.
That is why you have to train them at an early age and no they're not that aggressive if you don't train them properly
Wild animals belongs wild nature not your home!
One lady had a larger type monkey. It had a bad absess in it's mouth. It was in pain, it attacked the ladies leg and foot she was in bed. So you have to keep health checks on them.
I agree
No, you cannot “train” a primate not to be aggressive. That’s not how it works. You can, however, dominate and brutalize it into submission.
They all get aggressive when they hit puberty, training won't make any difference, you can't train the wild out of a wild animal!
reason funky monkey don't make great pets because 3 monkeys will keep on jumping on the bed and bombing their heads and keep on going bananas
Leave these poor creatures alone not all animals are meant to be Pets
My Gawd you just dragged the video on and on
I know you have to discipline them if they show aggression to people .. And U have to do this at a young age... If you dont they will take it and RUN
dont leave your game disks out of the case
Also baby mama said they test you when they're biting you to see what you'll do so in other words you have to give them a little pinch in the butt for those marmosets to learn that that is not okay duh
I mean yeah that is about what a mama monkey would do in the wild, mama monkeys bite and basically abuse their babies to correct them a lot of them time. But uuuh yeah bro if we humans do that it is in fact abuse...? Bc we are much larger/stronger and supposed to be much smarter than monkey...?
Monkeys are dominant animals and will forever be dominant. That is a result of dominant behavior and feeling insulted because essentially it’s insulting a monkeys intelligence
All monkeys and apes need to be with their own kind. They need the correct diet and housing. please don't buy exotic pets.
This monkey loves him
Monkey World took him? Or Monkey Haven?
What kind of monkey is that one that you’re touching???
Marmoset 🐵
He looks sad and to be going thru owners like that sad !

The better they're trained and raised, the more the behave and don't try to be the alpha. Just like children...it's all about how you raise it.
Brian hon you don't seem to be getting the point...
The point being what Karen. Dogs can be absolutely awful as pets if you don't train them. Should noone own dogs?
Pfft, noob.
I bet you’re one of those people that think it’s all in how you raise the pitbull. Forget all bred in instincts 🤷🏻♀️ No human can ever domesticate a monkey. We’ve been living alongside them for centuries and they’re still not common in homes like dogs and cats. No, it’s not how you raise them. Any human owned monkey is mentally traumatized. Period.
Monkeys will always be the alpha. You can’t take wild out of a wild animal
Nope! Primates are not PETS. PERIOD.
You can't have them as a pet because their not a pet. More like a companion
❤I would love a monkey that stays small. I raised 3 boys and their all grown,so I would love a constant companion I have nothing but time to spend with a finger monkey. It's a shame it's not legal have or adopt a little one to love.
...Barb, hon... You don't seem to be getting the point... 9_9;;
@@kymo6343eah we get it Adolf you feel better knowing they are getting poached and murdered in their natural habitat of Africa.
Yup! Your age group is what makes up the majority of monkey nutters on RUclips. You CANNOT domesticate any monkey for human life. Check your ego
Get a hobby or volunteer at a Neo-natal ward - my God how incredibly selfish!
A monkey that stays small but will never be domesticated no matter how much time you spend with it
Wow you have the same name as my brother mark freeman!
Sweet mother of God !!!
I really wanted to watch this video for the info within...and i did watch it until the end...but sweet Jesus the narrator ..his distraction..his "umms" and "ahhhs " and his flat mundane monotone made it all i could endure to finish watching.
If you are going to post an informative video...for the love of God do some preparation or get someone else to narrate so that your viewers do not lose patience and switch off.
HOWEVER..I did make it throygh the entire clip and it was informative so I guess his goal was accomplished.
Thank you for posting..there was some good info in the clip.
I am curious if after it goes to its new home and undergoes castration, if the procedure might not make him less aggresive ?.
Im Catholic- Yoruba Believes , but I Believe in the Evolution, Spiritual and Physical.
It Is very Wide KNOWLEDGE, AND Deep.
I have monkeys they are great pets. Anyone saying they are not they don’t know how to take care of an animal and shouldn’t have a monkey.
You really need a microphone. I can't hardly hear you.
Could hear perfect on my iPhone 13pro max maybe you got a shit phone
I have to agree here, I am hard of hearing and couldn't hear at all, I relied on the subtitles.
Couldn't hear him ? Lucky you !
Drab , boring and speaks indistinctly . Unless you're a Brit he's probably incomprehensible..!
A pygmy marmoset is probably better... From young....would have a whole differrent experience.
You can tell the previous owner abused him...
We spoil our snimsld😊
No meant for pets . Leav monkey in the jungle. Breeders stop breeding for money.
Cat-squirrel-monkey-trash panda.
His English is muffled
And not the monkeys
Wow!!!
I’m peruvian and my family from peru has many exotic animals. From monkeys, reptiles, birds from the amazon jungle. We typically always get more than one monkey. It is better to get them in pairs as they learn from each other. It’s better in the long run especially if you want your monkeys to be socialized. They are not aggressive or tend not to be if they have another monkey with them. Monkeys are highly social animals and they need to be kept in pairs. I would suggest getting another one.
Correction it depends on how you raise them if u raise them with being social like used to being around ppl yes they do and will get aggressive but I know of plenty of monkey owners that have there monkeys in public and have ppl over and not once have anyone been attacked.monkeys are socal creatures it up to the parent on how they are reared.but I do agree that they shouldn't be pets just bc they belong in the wild in there natural homes.thsnk you for finding him a sanctuary that will give him what he needs
Damn subtitles "um..."
You said herpes omg
Knuckles: what's the worst that can happen
See no consequences
I wouldn't have a chimp as a pet because that would be more worse to handle, but what about those baby monkeys where you have to take care of them like actual babies?
Honestly I would raise a baby monkey because it's like a child you have to care for. ❤🥰
They are NOT little humans! They all grow up, and have the same problems. Putting them in human clothes and walking upright isn't normal for them! (nor natural) And what happens when it grows up? Are you still going to put up with him? Monkeys are NOT pets!
If you want a child, then get a child! Monkeys are NOT children!
@@Robbie-sk6vc No not baby chimps, those little ones that stay little forever.
@@Robbie-sk6vc First off I'm 16 I can't adopt yet till 18, and I would like to have those little monkeys as a pet, I'm not talking about the big chimps I'm talking about the littler monkeys that stay little forever, even though they grow up. And those ones that have to have "baby like" essentials, for using the bathroom and all that type of stuff, and I just think it's cute when they're all dressed up in a little shirt. Like I see videos on how they take care of them. Also I can do whatever, I don't need somebody telling me that I should go get this, instead of getting what I actually want to have. And I had some friends that were my age, that took care of pets like the littler baby monkey one's.
He's so docile. Was he abused? Most channels i follow the Monkey are full on ADHD mode. He's so cute. I want a Monkey but wouldn't be a good fit for the type of life they deserve.
Nice try. You’re just trying to keep all the monkeys to yourself.
Would love to have him
To quote John McEnroe,.’you cannot be serious,’
Marvin said monkeys are not horrible pets you just have to learn to be patient and learn how to train them properly don't you ever see like my composure and all them Marvin said monkeys are the most tamed and used to humans so what are you talking about there
Poor endangered animal if you really cared about it you would give it to a rescue center where they will find a troop for it but no
Did you watch the video? That's what the entire video was about. A zoo took the monkey in.
I want baby pigtail
It's illegal. Why? Endangered species. Also, as they become adults, the cuteness goes. They sexually mature. Never can be "potty trained". Don't buy into the BS.
You can adopt from a shelter. They have more than cats and dogs.
Mama said monkeys are not taking from their mothers you are talking about regular wild monkeys they get taken from their mothers not marmosets Barbara sets are used for the pit trade nothing more but many people want to have these cute little critters because they are adorable Marmoset sets are great lovable human pets
If they don't come from their mothers are they hatched? They don't need a mother's milk and interaction with their own kind? I'm afraid mama needs to do some more research.
Of course, they are taken from their mothers. That is why the mothers are bred. They take the baby to sell it.
Ah ha ha it doesn't want to be with you
U have got to keep your hand on it the hole time that's crazy u never stopped looking or touching it wow yea that's your life hell no !!
More than likely baby mama sets they get whatever diseases that human have I can tell you haven't done very much of your homework I will never donate my monkey of a marmoset to the zoo

And your funny! You don't know much about monkeys I guess? That's a small kind.
They need uvd light as well and to train them not to bite you have to give them a little pinch on the butt so they'll learn not to buy in that that is not okay you are making yourself an example of a horrible Daddy
If you can't handle it meet me in TX and ill take it
Went to a sanctuary
He's in the UK...lol
@@catwoman2596 so? You can import domesticated animals.
@@DodgeMcCarty ok...do you have the proper paperwork and licenses to do so? Regardless you can't have one shipped (air mail) to your door as you have to physically meet. My point was why would someone from the United Kingdom meet you in Texas? I mean, if you have 30,000$ dollars to RESCUE a $6,000 monkey wouldn't you go pick it up from the UK?
@@catwoman2596 paperwork isn't an issue and you obviously have no idea how to ship animals I know more than you do and money sure as fuck not a problem. You have no idea what I do for a living.

🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦no sences dude
And another thing you don't abandon your baby mama said monkeys because they are the ones that end up suffering the most the girlfriend who left this poor little creature she said idiot and a hypocrite and cold-hearted over a man really now that's dumb pets are always number one priority compared to a man
Who is Mama???
What again then took is little monkey away from mom 🐵 oh no. Bless at little monkey please don't hurt at monkey.What are you planning to with is monkey are you hurting at monkey. Now the monkey is 👎 not for pets sir. You better not abuse at monkey. Leaving alone. Let him free.
You've got some issues...listening is one.
Did you watch the video??? He gave 10 reasons why NOT to get a monkey!!!
If he is such an animal lover why dont he set it free it obviously looks sad
You can't just set a monkey free!
Marmor+sett=marmosett. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahaha 🐒
"Dont get a Monkey" from guy who has Monkey.
Keeping an animal in a cage is pure hell for the animal let it be free
I dont do the zoo who wants to pay to look at miserable animals caged and being laughed at by humans one day the tables will be turned only then will humans see what it feels like so cruel what a life
Shame on you you have wrecked his life and now your shipping him off to another cage and a miserable life good going
