hi i am a primate keeper in that i own a geoffry marmoset i admit that we bought it because my wife always wanted a cute monkey so when i heard of a local pet shop selling little monkeys we went to look and she fel in love and wanted one.
the vendor assured us they were easy to keep and would be perfectly happy to live alone as long as we gave it plenty to do so off we went he sold us a large parrott cage to home it in and sold us the suppliments required. i kept it in the cage for a week or so then started to let it out around the living room which was great till it started scenting everything and sh*tting everywhere and peed on my 42" plasma wrecking it so i built an indoor enclosure using an old storage cupboard check the link at the bottom i have some vids on utube showing the enclosure which still need a lot of development . during this time i started to research late i know but .... i stumbled upon a reptile shop close to me that also has a colony and he gave me some advice i realised then that the girl i was sold is a boy (see the vid) i am hopeing to get another female common from the guy who sold me one in the first place when i sell my yorkie pups in two weeks time. i am trying to learn all the time asking advice from anyone that will volunteer it i have pm'd rory and glidergirl no response yet. basically i know i am at fault for not researching properly and since joining this forum i am realising my mistakes and i am trying to do whta i can to ensure my animals are cared for and happy so any advice would be really great. rfuk has and is showing me that i am seriously lacking but rather than get rid i would like to learn and progress to being a responsible keeper instead of a cute pet owner

Awww Shucks....So your all saying if I get a chimp it won't be a cutsy monkey butler to entertain my friends
 Seriously... Who the hell would want something that strong and quick locked in a room with them......  I love primates, but I don't want to try and become a soul mate with one... They are much better off with their own kind, away from me.... I'll just appreciate them from a distance.... I want a Tiger.... Can you do me one of them Rory....
