Some Things To Know Before Buying A Finger Monkey

Finger monkeys are the smallest monkey species and one of the smallest primates in the world. But don’t let their tiny size fool you – these curious and intelligent animals are tough to take care of. 

They require lots of time and dedication, together with special lightning, diet, and veterinary expertise. The main thing to keep in mind is to buy finger monkeys from reputable breeders and pick them up in person when the baby is weaned (starts eating solid food) to avoid scams. 

Do not buy them from pet stores as they often give them no training and charge very high prices. Make sure to ask lots of questions from the breeder about everything that comes with the baby, health guarantees, amount of monkeys they breed a year, and previously sold animals. 

Finger monkeys can become stressed in households with lots of kids screaming and running around – the recommendation is to have 1 or 2 adults living in the home. If you spend most of your time outside, then this animal is NOT for you. 

They require similar attention as toddlers (waking up, getting breakfast, bathing, socializing, napping, playing, etc.), socialization, training, and genuine affection. 

Keep in mind that these animals have a strong smell and often leave their mark on things. They might also bite and can do serious damage to the face and ears.

A healthy marmoset monkey can live between 15 and 20 years; this makes it a commitment. You will need to buy a cage to keep them but also provide them with plenty of time outside of the cage for exercise and interaction.

Make sure to check with your state legislation before buying a finger monkey as keeping it might be illegal there!

Summary 

And there you have it! 1 place with finger monkeys for sale in Michigan (MI). 

Make sure to call and see if the seller currently has marmoset babies available for sale, check the animal in person, and feel free to take a veterinarian with you to inspect the animal, if the seller allows it. Stay safe from scammers and always request a video call verification before paying for anything.

Finger monkeys can be great pets as they are cute and entertaining, but occasionally aggressive animals. Remember to provide enough housing space for the animal, a regular supply of food and water, spend time socializing with your pet, and have an experienced vet on hand in case of illness.
