Make Capuchin Monkeys Good Pets

Primates are not ideal pets. It can be hard raising a Capuchin, which is why you should think long and hard before choosing to get one as a pet. If you already have a capuchin monkey, following the steps in this article will help protect you from getting attacked.

Steps

  1. Dominate them when they're small. Take a look on how to articles on how to dominate a Capuchin monkey. You need to dominate them as babies. Every time they bite you, show them you're the boss.

  2. Get them spayed/neutered when they are sexually mature (3 years old). This is important because if it's a boy, it will go to the woman of the house and bite the man. It is the same with the girl, but just the opposite sex.
  3. Spoil them. Once you do this, there's no going back. If you bring another monkey in, pay just as much attention to him/her. Capuchins are attention-seekers and just love to be laughed at (when they're being funny), or told they're pretty.
  4. Keep them calm during baths, diapers, and putting clothes on. Stroke them gently and tell them soft and nicely "It's okay. You're doing good. It's okay."
  5. Be sure they have toys to play with. A happy monkey is not a bored monkey. Get them lots of toys, and a new one every month. They get bored easily. They like shiny, noisy things. If you don't, get them chewy toys. Always attend them when you give them something chewy so they don't choke. make sure the tows aren't dangerous.
  6. Monkey see, monkey do. Whatever you do, that monkey will do, so don't let them see you doing something you don't want them to do. (Examples: cooking, taking medications, handling with sharp objects)

Tips

  • Give lots of attention to him/her. They need it.
  • Let them feel secure at night, such as letting them sleep in a comfortable box with a towel and blanket.

Warnings

  • You may require a license to keep an exotic pet in some locations. Make sure you can fulfill the required demands of the licensing authority, at least - try to exceed them.
