crosses your mind in having a monkey as your new best friend.

monkeys or require special licenses to do so. Follow through with applicable

varieties of monkeys and each variety is different from each other
in their needs and behaviors. Once you have determined the type of
monkey suited for your home and lifestyle, do your research! Some monkeys need lots of space to climb and play; some need more of a quiet
environment, for example. Do research on the various types of monkeys and
select a type appropriate to your talents and needs.

comfortable and safe habitat to be healthy and happy, Give your monkey enough room to
climb, play, and exercise freely. In addition, you will also
need to ensure that your monkey gets a balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, and
proteins to stay healthy. Always have access to fresh drinking
water.
Devoted to veterinarian care:

does say that one of the keys to properly caring for your monkey is veterinary care.

the monkey to an exotic animal veterinarian as needed. The monkey
should also be regularly observed for possible signs of disease or abnormal
behavior, and receive the relevant treatment if necessary.

Patience and
understanding:
Monkeys are clever
creatures, but can sometimes become stubborn and moody. You have to learn
its body language, so you don't get the monkey angry and aggressive. You
need to be really understanding of the monkey. Understand what the monkey is communicating
to you, what it needs, and how to respond in an effective, positive manner.
Training:

techniques such as providing rewards can train monkeys in simple tricks and commands.
Begin by training your monkey on basic commands like
“sit” or “come” with incentives like food or toys. Wait and repeat, we learn
from the monkey's failure and train until the monkey learns what we want it to do.
Time and attention:
Monkeys require an
extreme amount of time and attention. Spend time playing with and
talking to and just enjoying your monkey. Encourage the monkey to walk, climb,
or play with it to help it become more mentally and
physically active. You also want to ensure that the monkey has an interactive
environment where it can engage with other animals or humans to
prevent feelings of isolation and boredom.
Mental stimulation:
Monkeys are very
intelligent and require ongoing mental stimulation. Monkeys, offer
different games and activities to keep it intellectually
stimulated and to prevent boredom. Ball and play with monkeys to think and solve
problems.
Caution against
aggressive behavior:
Some monkeys can be
territorial and aggressive in certain situations, especially
when scared and/or threatened. Proper training on managing situations like these safely is
key. In anger, do not threaten the monkey, simply remain
calm and avoid contact. Positive stimulation techniques are also necessary so
that aggressive behaviors are avoided, and both the monkey and you can have a safe
environment.

specialized care and a level of commitment. Not for families with kids or small
homeowners Before you think about getting a monkey, ensure that you will have the time,
attention, and resources to properly take care of it.

transfer from monkeys to humans. Remember to wash your hands thoroughly after
touching the monkey and to avoid contact with it if you are ill.

possible.
