Do you need a exotic pets licence to own a capuchin monkey?
These adverts are scams…real monkey breeders dont advertise in this way. You cannot get the black and white capuchins you see in the adverts, only the brown capped capuchin is available in the UK….and they will cost you a minimum of 4000. Since you need at least two monkeys, this is doubled to 8000, and they will cost you a similar amount to keep each year. You will require an expensive enclosure which will cost at least another 2000 to erect, it must be heated for winter time and allow natural light to get in, making it MORE expensive. You CANNOT keep a monkey in your house, even in a cage, any cage in a house is too small, minimum recommended enclosure for a pair of caps is 20ft long by 10ft wide. Capuchins, like all monkeys are very aggressive and sexual when they hit maturity. They can use tools and are deeply dangerous, they stink, indulge in nasty habits involve their own faecal matter and will openly masturbate on you…it is NOT like that programme My Monkey Baby the realit
