Monkeys as pets are suitable for those who can devote a lot of time to communicating and training them.
Which monkey to choose for your home
If you decide to have a monkey at home, then pay attention to marmosets, capuchins, macaques, etc.
Marmosets and vervet monkeys are best for those who have experience in caring for and training primates. These breeds are smart and easy to train, but they can cause serious injury.
