They're so little and cute. You might consider using a much larger cage though. With some trees and lots of hiding places, toys, things to keep them occupied. Marmosets shouldn't be this calm. Boredom can actually cause Marmosets to become depressed. Also you should put them closer to a window so they can get vitamin d3 from the sunshine.
I had a little marmoset for 5 years actually brought her with me everywhere including work,restaurants and clubs even movies (she LOVED those). She had diapers of course. Never in a cage unless for her protection for a couple minutes if someone came to the house until they knew her. And if I went outside, she was with me on my shoulder and I could leave her on a chair and she would just wait for me not even trying to run away..Very intelligent,faithful,curious and loving.Missing my sweet angel ♥
poor baby she is obviously not feeling well she probly needs some light and fresh air she is sniffling and sneezing ..... i know im miserable when im sick have mercy on this sweet little person
you should consider making a bigger area for them to live in! They can't even stand! I suggest an outside aviary type wooden cage with plants/small trees growing inside - they love trees!
Haha! Funny little thing. This is gonna be so random to everyone, but I was brought here because I was reading about the Battle of Lepanto (1571AD) in a book and it mentioned that one of the Spanish Captains had a pet marmoset on his ship and during the battle it was seen up on the mast pulling Ottoman arrows out and breaking them with it's teeth before throwing them into the water, playing it's own little part in the battle. I was like 'I've heard of a marmoset but I'm not sure what they are." I had to think for a while before I started to remember that they were monkeys, lol. Anyway, I had to check some videos out after reading that story. It never mentioned what became of the monkey, just that many people remember seeing it on the mast throwing the arrows during the fight. I admired how it was brave and seemed to understand what was taking place, so it took action instead of running to cower behind/underneath something. Awesome! Take care of those guys! I'm sure you've heard it before, but its sort of cruel to keep them as pets. However it DOES look as though they are happy under your care which is good, and I'm not suggesting you get rid of them, just be good to them.
Wow, your lucky, if i just left the door open to pet my marmoset he would have done been out, ran down my leg across the floor & up the blinds cherping at cars. lol
These two monkeys are so cute. They definitely love being in their cage because they don't want to come out, this is what it's like with our dogs because they love being in their crates. They will sleep in their crates during the day, dogs love crates because crates make them feel safe. These monkeys feel safe in their cage.
I've always wanted a marmoset. I met one at, of all places, the Walmart parking lot yesterday. He was riding around on his person's shoulder. The owner of him told me that Sticks, the marmoset enjoys riding around the parking lot to look at people. What a little cutie he was!
Everyone saying that this is inhumane and cruel, you are extremely wrong. Did you know that domesticated monkeys that were born in captivity have doubled lifespans then those born in the wild? Did you know that domesticated monkeys are a lot more happier and smarter then those in the wild? There is nothing inhumane about keeping monkeys as domesticated pets as long as the owners are extremely caring and loving and treat them as if they were a member of the family. People say the cage is tiny, if you look closely the cage is open and I'm sure its open at all times for them to come out when they want and play in a large space and have accessible food and water. I'm sure the owner only keeps it closed at night for their safety as I do with my caged animals. I have a huge room for my caged animals with plenty of toys and stimulating activities and ample supplies of food and water at all times and their cages are open at all times (unless one of the species is a danger to the others) so they don't feel confined to one place and have all the room they can have. So, for everyone saying this is inhumane, I believe supporting them to be in the wild is inhumane, they are much safer in the arms of their caring and loving human companions. Not somewhere that they have increased chances of disease and death. Of course, some species are meant to be in the wild as are these marmosets, but there are some species that would be just as happy in captivity such as these marmosets.
You've got an overly Romanic view of nature. If you want subject them to cruelty put them back in nature. The life of wild animals is hell, it's short, painful, and brutal.
The per trade is incredibly cruel for the monkey family and in most cases people who get them as pets don't know what the animals went through to get to thier homes. No, they don't want to commit suicide but there are obvious complications with taking a wild animal away from its natural habitat. The only okay reason I see to own an exotic animal such as the marmoset would be for rehabilitation or conservation of the species.
***** Oh I see. I've heard a lot about them but not really making any judgements. Saw 5/6 gentlemen with black suits on the London underground train with little rings on their pinky fingers with the symbol on it. They however, did not look Like rappers lol
awwww... Can't you make them a bigger cage? They would be really happy if they could swing in the branches of a small tree or some hanging ropes. They need to maintain good strenght by lifting their body weight as they climb or swing. That is good for their health.
The person only filmed a small portion of the cage. Clearly, there are more room at the bottom and sides. It's so big, there are actually little platform levels for them to play and climb in.
jason quinn I dont know, man, I'm researching about different types of monkeys right now because i wanted to get one as pet. But after researching and looking at lots of videos on YT, i now decide not to get one. Read this, so heartbreaking if you have a heart: www.monkeykisses.com/wantamonkeyseriously/seriousrealitychecks.html
There are alot of variables, in a perfect world monkeys would only be in the wild. But I would rather see a monkey as a pet than a medical experiment. With their habitats being destroyed eventually only zoos and private owners will have them.
My house acts as a cage so that my dogs and cat do not get free(and hit by cars/frozen in winter). As long as the animals are properly maintained and they get attention and stimulation cages are great places to keep animals. Dogs and cats if let free(to roam the neighborhood unsupervised) cause trouble.
Though I don't support illegal trade of species the truth is that in Venezuela, from where I am, these monkeys are common pets of indigenous people, if you live in a South American country, especially in the countryside, these animals are almost inexpensive to maintain, the problem as usual is that they are pets for trained people in the matter and yes its trade should be regulated by the governments to ensure a system of captive reproduction that could serve as well to for the study of the species, instead of an industry based on poaching that is what usually happens.
I feel so bad for them. I saw nothing in this video that showed that the monkeys had access to any type of play, stimulation, activities, food or water.
I was thinking the same thing this cage is so small and so boring no stimulation what so ever no toys and the fact they are that calm is not normal they do not look happy they are depressed they dont even want her touching them if they felt same with her they would be jumping around on her and climbing in and out of the cage being mischievious and wanting to touch everything. This is actually sad that all these people didnt see this and actually believe they are well and happy
They are so cute and i would LOVE to have one but I have a few questions 1. What is the name of this cage 2.where did you get the cage 3. How big is the cage (aprox) also I agree with a few of the other people you should add some ropes , tree branches and boredum breakers but other than that they look like awesome pets!!
How is their behavior when they become adults? Do they become aggressive? It’s surprising how they start off as such cute little babies and grow up to look like Gremlins or like some pissed off Furbys.
They do not look or sound like happy marmosets. They aren’t playing they look apprehensive. One of them began to put on the pinched face they do when they are angry. They are looking around in a very confused way and do not seem happy or relaxed.
+Sten43 Since 1977 I'm sure the cage is only there for their safety. In the video, the cage was open so I'm assuming they can go in and out at their own expense. My friend has two marmosets and she leaves the cage open at all times so they aren't confined to one place, she has a proofed room with cat towers, swings and a bunch of stimulating toys. Which I'm sure this owner has.
If you're 12 I would highly advise against getting a primate. They require more care than you would imagine. What are you going to do when you must be in school and they need care? I am skeptical about a 13 year old being able to care for one as well. The parents must do the majority of the care if that is the case. If you are purchasing a primate its highly recommended to get 2, since just one may cause many mental disorders due to lack of socialization with its own kind.
Get them a bigger cage or find them a better environment they’re very intelligent animals and require very intense and expensive environments to keep them pleased they constantly looking for objects that keep them challenged and interested if you could put tree branches or limbs in their cage if you could give them little bowls or cubes or bowls that fit into other cubes they need more. They’re already caged up and they’re probably feeling miserable inside even if they appear otherwise
I swear I'm in loooovvveee.....I am so jealous... I wish I had them...why do ppl say you shouldn't have one???..they look happy,healthy and content to me...at least they don't have to worry about predators & fight'n bigger, stronger animals over food & territory... they don't have to worry about lost of habitat and the ultimate early demise...if I had the $ to care for one I have one in a minute...
these 2 here don't look difficult...I mean if you have the time to look after them then what's the harm??...I understand they are wild animals and I wouldn't agree every wild animal should be made to be a domesticated animal...however for these marmosets I can't see the harm in having one...
The majority of marmosets are born and raised in captivity. Its not like they are taking all of them from their families and selling them for $20 bucks.
+DarkStar6161 when a mother first births the marmoset the mother doesnt even touch the baby. it doesnt try to keep it warm. without us the marmosets would die
Cage seems comfortable, but should enrich them place poniendole plants!! still, aunq I've had, and even cry, I do not seem to live in a cage. have killed someone??
can u let them outside without they run away from you or are they staying with you, please answer me asap , because i'm thinking about getting two marmosets.???!!
couple of questions plz answer 1. how much did it cost to get the marmosets there cage and everthing else???? and 2. can i get one is it right for a 14 yr old?
No one can truly say an animal is unhappy unless they express it in a way we know. Also, I'm sure they are only in the cage at night to sleep and are out during the day. You may also have to consider they are rescues and this person is running a private Wildlife Rehab Center. Animals like these that are rescued cannot be released back into the wild. It's not a substitution, it's a second chance for these creatures, so don't judge so quickly.
let them out to play. they looknsad. very cute! Iif I hought a monkey I would get a marmoset as well. I wonder if marmosets are more $ than capuchin or vervet nor spider monkey. these ones are more calm, smaller n I haven't heard of one incident that a marmoset bit his or her human owner yet.
Do these guys need some sort of 36x30x46 ft cage cause if u have an exotic animal everyone expects u to have some sort of cage the size of canada even if the species is small
Cute! Don't get water on them! And never feed them after midnight.
haha, they do look like gremlins!
Rad comment!!
sweeneythom77 Was just thinking they look like them ahha

In the beginning his face and the noises it makes makes me think of the velosaraptors from jarassic park
They are gorgeous.
I had a little marmoset for 5 years actually brought her with me everywhere including work,restaurants and clubs even movies (she LOVED those). She had diapers of course. Never in a cage unless for her protection for a couple minutes if someone came to the house until they knew her. And if I went outside, she was with me on my shoulder and I could leave her on a chair and she would just wait for me not even trying to run away..Very intelligent,faithful,curious and loving.Missing my sweet angel ♥
They sound like cats and birds.
poor baby she is obviously not feeling well she probly needs some light and fresh air she is sniffling and sneezing ..... i know im miserable when im sick have mercy on this sweet little person
They are so precious. Hope they live a fulfilling life in captivity.
Marmosets make such cute faces haha
Love them! ^w^ Your darlings are just adorable. Too sweet! What lovers they must be. =3 I can't wait for my first Marm companion.
And you're AWESOME! Fight for the cuteness! lol!
you should consider making a bigger area for them to live in! They can't even stand! I suggest an outside aviary type wooden cage with plants/small trees growing inside - they love trees!
And sunshine.
Tell me they don't remind you of gremlins, especially with the ears n shit..
Intowesterns.......... Your babies are so cute........ I'm owned by 3 of these beautiful creatures that GOD has created :)

+Lucas McVicker So basically, they have to endure not being free for twice as long and you don't consider this cruel?
+Lucas McVicker They want to commit suicide.

really squeezy and lovely
They have the cutest voices of any animal
I really am in love with them.
they are so sweet.
I think I'm in love.
What's that sign on your display pic? I keep seeing it now and again but have no idea what it is!

They're so tiny and delicate. It would be better if they were a little bit bigger.
นางงามตู้กระจกเอ้ย นางงามในกรงน่ารักดีคับ
Such sweeties!!!
cute look happy and healthy
They're like if you don't have food we don't wanna come out.
They're sooo adorable!!!
Love your babys im planning on getting 2 of them they need companionship.
They re so cute, if they werd rescued they should be captivity, if they were breed there thats different aswell
aaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwww couldn't come up w/ anything better than that!!! LOLOLOLOLOLOL
To anyone that has never seen one. Look how small they are full grown. :)
*****
Yep your right. :)
Yeah these arnt
They're only about the size of a cat kitten
Humans have domesticated marmosets for centuries. There are lots of paintings of European royalty holding their pet marmosets.
well said. there is guy that lives near that breeds them and sells them only to qualified people.
if that's true than why are they still "wild" and not as sweet and docile as cats and dogs?
+Edit your name not all cats and dogs are sweet and docile. Dog's are euthanized everyday all over the country because they bite people.

They are so freakn adorable! 999
Gremlins!
So cute
I feel so bad for them. I saw nothing in this video that showed that the monkeys had access to any type of play, stimulation, activities, food or water.
I'm pretty ether owner provides them with food, water and everything else
I was thinking the same thing this cage is so small and so boring no stimulation what so ever no toys and the fact they are that calm is not normal they do not look happy they are depressed they dont even want her touching them if they felt same with her they would be jumping around on her and climbing in and out of the cage being mischievious and wanting to touch everything.

Sound like sick birds to me...

How big is the cage (aprox) also I agree with a few of the other people you should add some ropes , tree branches and boredum breakers but other than that they look like awesome pets!!
Didn't realize how small they were Till you stuck your hand out ha
How is their behavior when they become adults? Do they become aggressive? It’s surprising how they start off as such cute little babies and grow up to look like Gremlins or like some pissed off Furbys.
They seem happy and healthy to me. Can they be house trained or do they need to wear nappies/diapers?
Little cuties =)
awwww so cutieeee!!!
Yea it is as big but you'll probably spend 3000 to get started not to mention 7 hours of your day an learning their complex diet
They do not look or sound like happy marmosets. They aren’t playing they look apprehensive. One of them began to put on the pinched face they do when they are angry. They are looking around in a very confused way and do not seem happy or relaxed.
they're so sweet
I also have the same pet like that I called her Barbie!
Their faces remind me of the lion in the W. of oz. Too cute, I need a pair. Babies for sale ? Please contact me here.
The sound hes making starting at 1:10 sounds like the bark of grey squirrels in the US.
They are cute as hell
They defo need a big big cage and lots of branches and ropes to play on.

They don't have a large enough space to live in. I'm no expert, but they'll need a home much bigger than that...

I've never heard that sound from a marmoset before, what does it mean? Is it asking for food? Mine just screeches when it wants food.
They look like gremlins
Whatever you do, don't get them wet and never, never, EVER feed them after midnight.
Too cute. Being that you have two, do they tend to interact more with each other than they do with you.
@dread head @quappac you two just made my day lol. That was funny
Cage seems comfortable, but should enrich them place poniendole plants!! still, aunq I've had, and even cry, I do not seem to live in a cage. have killed someone??
bot if u go on a holly day for a week or 2, how do u get the two monkeys to being taking care of??? and sorry for my bad english, ;) plz answer
Did they come from that old asian man with the antique shop?
Reminds me of Spike on Gremlins
I'm getting one for Christmas!
all creatures need to be free.
EXACTLY
Release all your pets, including domesticated dogs and cats and call it job done when they live on the streets
is this as big as marmosets get? i was thinking of getting one or getting a capuchin or even a spider monkey idk which one
can u let them outside without they run away from you or are they staying with you, please answer me asap , because i'm thinking about getting two marmosets.???!!
c'mon i know you are secretly in love with them
couple of questions plz answer 1. how much did it cost to get the marmosets there cage and everthing else???? and 2. can i get one is it right for a 14 yr old?
No one can truly say an animal is unhappy unless they express it in a way we know.
Also, I'm sure they are only in the cage at night to sleep and are out during the day.
You may also have to consider they are rescues and this person is running a private Wildlife Rehab Center. Animals like these that are rescued cannot be released back into the wild.
It's not a substitution, it's a second chance for these creatures, so don't judge so quickly.
Don't they need like trees and stuff?

thank u soo much..
Are they legal to have as pet in colarado ? They are so cute :)
Nadia Zharkikh no
let them out to play. they looknsad. very cute! Iif I hought a monkey I would get a marmoset as well. I wonder if marmosets are more $ than capuchin or vervet nor spider monkey. these ones are more calm, smaller n I haven't heard of one incident that a marmoset bit his or her human owner yet.
The cage door is open
are these little ones that strong ?
how much was it when you purchased them? here in my country it costs you $2500 each.
your cage really needs some toys.
Don't seem like they like to be held at all.
Do these guys need some sort of 36x30x46 ft cage cause if u have an exotic animal everyone expects u to have some sort of cage the size of canada even if the species is small
