Default First Post! Marmoset Monkey!

First of all, Hello to all of you!
Looking forward to making some new friends and having some good chats about animals in general.
I'd like to know where you can buy Marmoset's. I know a few people in the UK have got them as pets.
I've spent the last six months reading up on keeping them and how to care for them.
If anybody could give some advice or information it would be greatly apreciated, having said that if anyone has any questions about animals im well knowledged especially with reptiles, So feel free to ask me anything.
Cheers
Tom

Welcome to the forums.

Contact TSKA. They are the best place to ask.

to the forum loads of nice peeps on here Zooman keeps and breed marmosets he is a good person to ask about them however i don't anywhere you could get the pygmy marms from they are really hard to source as said TSKA have beeen known to have them. ive seen many cotton eared marms for sale though but i would deffinately advise you steer clear of adds on places such as the animal adds as most of the marms for sale on there are usually just advertised by scammers i found this out the hard way lol!.
i wish you loads of luck in your search keep us posted

I normally sell sets of twins for around £1500 or individuals for £800 each. I do not sell marmosets to live on their own.
