I’m considering getting a Squirrel Monkey and have been doing some research on them. I would really appreciate any additional information or insights from anyone who has experience with these monkeys. I plan to make this decision in about ten years, so I have plenty of time to prepare and gather more details.

That’s awesome! Squirrel Monkeys are really fascinating. Just make sure you understand their social needs; they thrive in groups. Are you planning to get just one, or do you think you might get more?

Great choice! I’ve read that they can be quite playful and social, but they also require a lot of attention and stimulation. Have you looked into their diet and habitat needs yet?

Yeah, I’ve started looking into their dietary requirements, but I’m still trying to figure out what kind of space they need. I want to make sure I can provide a good environment for them.

They definitely need a decent amount of space to move around, and a secure outdoor area would be ideal if possible. Also, keep in mind that they can be quite vocal, so think about how that might affect your living situation.

I’ve always found them to be super energetic and curious! If you’re serious about getting one, start building a bond with local exotic pet communities now. They can be invaluable for tips and support later on.
