How much would a Capuchin Monkey cost?

Question

Where do I buy it from? Is it legal to have one in the U.S.? and if i do get one what do you feed it? do you potty train them or take them outside to do there business?

Answer 1

Monkey:$6000, from a good clean breeder, cage: 3000, food: 3000, med+9000, and it goes on, I had a friend who had one, they are expensive and if they don't have daily hourly interaction can be dangerous and bad pets.

Good luck

Answer 2

they are around 3 thousand dollars. I raised monkeys 20 years ago, anf wish I hadnt. they are extremely difficult to domesticate. the legalities deend on the state you live in. One of my spider moneys,, extremely tamed, turned on my 9 year old daughter and almost tore her leg off. I had 3 capuchins, and one we diapered. one we could never tame, the other one was sweet, but he still bit us occassionaly. also, they get sick very easily, and there arent many vets who truely know how to care rom them. they eat monkey chow, but will eat most anything we do, and then get sick.

I really think you should research this more. They are adorable,, but they dont make good pets. they are still considered a wild animal.

Answer 3

Caps run any where from 7000- 10,000 each. You would need to call your local fish and Wildlife people to find out if you can have one where you live. And they potty in diapers, so you will be changing diapers for the next 40+ years. They are on bottles when you first get them but when they get older they eat monkey food ( like dog food for monkeys) and fruits and veggies. And a little meat as well.

But if you are think of getting on you need to so some research first. They are not easy pets to take care of and are much more like having a human baby then a pet. Just make sure you know what you are getting into. They are more work then I can put in to words. And the money don't stop with buying them. They are very costly to keep happy and healthy.

here are a few good breeders to buy from
